Seeing things for the first time

Things that I saw today in oxford including Carfax tower, Mr Woodnote and Christ Church

I had a bit of emergency work to do this morning in relation to some funky caching issues with a homepage I'd built for one of my clients, but once that was sorted I did a bit of washing and got ready to go out to Oxford.

After my appointment with my FAM instructor I then headed into the town center to do a bit of shopping.

While I was meandering around I thought I'd make use of my nokia n97 and take some pictures of things I saw which I see on most occasions when I go shopping but don't really give much thought to and these included the Carfax Tower and Christ Church. I also stumble upon a rather unique band called Mr Woodnote who are playing in the new square that has been redeveloped. Basically it's 3 blokes with a Saxophone and some electronic giggery pokery mixed in with beat boxing and rap. A very interesting combination but really quite enjoyable to listen to whilst the sun was blazing down, so much so I got one of their albums. I think I spoke to Lil Rhys who despite outward appearances of being a hard ass rap gangsta innit was in fact a lovely bloke who was chuffed to beans about the good reception his band was getting.

I finally make my way home and hop online to see what's been going on and get chatting to a very good friend of mine who moved away a couple of years ago but it looks like the brood might be moving back this way which is very exciting news indeed! Lets hope it all goes to plan!

Late as it is by the time we are ready to go to the gym we do actually make it this time which is good because I thought Phil had about given up on the idea so it was nice to see him going though I do believe I might have overdone it - tomorrow will tell I suppose!
