Abbey Medieval Festival

Got dragged along to the Abbey Medieval Festival near Cabooolture for a day back in July. ‘Medieval’ being a bit of a loose term relating to a period of 600 years or so judging by the costumes and shows…

Took camera as usual, wanted to get some jousting photos but it was impossible to get anywhere near the front to get a good clear view. So just took photos of random people, going about their every day business…

Some photos below and more of flickr.

New Toy

After 6 weeks of Guitar Hero 2-induced RSI I finally got around to buying the real thing. Been on my list of things to buy for ages. First time picked up a guitar in about 10 years. And was almost tempted to buy another yesterday when popped into a Cash Converters in the ‘burbs… still tempted… maybe next week…

Thing is, I can find a few bits of info on Martinez acoustic guitars on google, but absolutely nothing on Martinez electrics. If anyone knows anything about them could they let me know?

It looks nice though, and that’s the important thing…

Lethargy in the UK

Had a very relaxing couple of weeks back home in mid-January for my Dad’s 60th.Lay by the fire, watched DVDs, ate, drank, went for the occasional walk down by the river or by the sea.  And that was about it.  Got about 6 hours in London before flew out so long enough for a $250 album/DVD splurge…

Some photos.
