What have I done?

I've signed up to do a Triathlon, that's what I've done. Good news is I can do the swim. 400m this morning in just under 10 minutes. That'll do for now. But the bike? The run? I have till 3rd October, so I guess I'd better start some training. Need a goal. OK finishing is number one, but finishing in under 2 hours is number 2 for now. Will revise as the training develops, or doesn't develop. There will be the opportunity for people to give generously to a great charity to encourage me not to give up. Details later!!

The Hazards of Love

The Hazards of Love A concept album, words to strike aural terror into most people, including yours truly in normal circumstances.  But when I heard The Rake's Song (a chilling, thrilling tale of multiple filicide) for the first time, I didn't know that the album which had spewed it forth was a concept deal. But what a concept, love, murder, kidnap all wrapped up in a 21st century folk-rock package to die for.  Not for the feint-hearted, but for anyone who likes a bit of meat (albeit dripping wwith blood) with their music!
