O2 wireless festival with James

Mr Blunt of course. Also described as Mr Bland but he actually rocked for the show at this festival. Although, calling it a festival would seem to be pushing it. At times it felt like a fun fair but had a very enjoyable day with Bex drinking pear cider, lots of Pimm's (it was on offer, to be fair) and listened to lots of nice music. It helped to dampen the previous suicidal notions, which will return tomorrow when I look at my data again.

But on the myspace stage, Roddy Hart stood out. Nice melodies and someone who can actually sing instead of screaming out the words of the lyrics they wrote.

Listened to most of the main stage, Nizlopi, The Eels, Zero 7 and unimitable James Blunt. Overheard Killa Kela whilst sat on the sun lounge drinking Pimms. Nizlope were great!! Two guys, one plays guitar the other plays double bass and they shot to stardom singing about a 5-year old boy sitting on a JCB with his dad so he wouldn't have to go to school where he got bullied. I imagined them to be a bit folksy but there was some rapping, some beatbox and a very tuneful double bass playing. Reminds me of the guy in Barenaked Ladies when he does gigs, if you've been to one of their gigs, you know how he just goes mad and everyone gets in a frenzy. Zero 7 was nice and electronic chill out. They had one hit and some other good songs, but chill out electronic music never makes it big around here. Very odd.

Mr Bland/Blunt impressed me. I'll admit, I like his music anyways so would have stood around but his show was quite good. Better than I gave him credit for. Guess this is where PR and marketing come to play. He doesn't sit on a stool with his guitar but rather jumps up and down and has a crazy keyboard player who does a silly dance..
There was a whole thing going on with the crowd throwing balls around.












Hello Mr Blunt *wink* *wink*















Me and Bex enjoying the day.











Then had the most hectic week, swept off my feet!! Went for dinner at Ale's place on Monday, it was her birthday. I think JM might be slightly jealous that we all love her as much as we love him. But don't worry, we love you more. Sometimes.

Aw...Chad and all the girls.













Then on Tuesday, went for going down dinner. I'm pretending that I will be alumni at St Cross College soon.
Me and Mrs Kramer looking all bling bling for the evening. Can you tell we just RAN there from my flat?










Then worked Wednesday, slept on Thursday and another dinner on Friday. Phew!!

And today, history repeated itself. England lost to Portugal on penalties again. France beat Brazil.

And for the first time in such a long time, an all European semi-final. Might have to take time off on Tuesday and Wednesday. I mean, this only happens once every 4 years.
