I get in this morning and have urgent work waiting for me right away, this is not a good start to the week. We had a bit of a refit of IT around the office, so there are a few snags to sort out, think it all went smoothly though. Had a very quiet weekend, missed our office party, and didn't even go out on Saturday night. Clare shopped hard in Canterbury on Saturday, while I stayed in and played computers. I tried to further upgrade the machine I've been using, and broke it at just the worst moment. I got a call from work with a little job for me, so had to put the old broken PC back online. LUCKILY that worked out OK, as I was sure I'd broken the motherboard on the "new" computer (the free one from Clare's work) by trying to shoehorn in more memory. Was considering going and buying a new PC at one point, but in the end I got them both sorted, and ended up more or less where I'd started the day. I did find a bit of time to work on my maps and now have Folkestone pub map, Folkestone real estate map and the all new gig map working more or less as planned.
Sunday did a bit of visiting, a bit of housework, a bit of shopping, and a lot of telly watching. Couldn't quite stay up long enough to see Steve Davis lose to Chinese Automaton Ding Junhui last night, though we did see some superb play. This means our final two episodes of Angel are saved for this evening.
Woken up today with a not entirely 100% tummy, I hope it's not down to me eating chilli every day for the past week. Lunch today will be CHILLI again, a different one though.

Well the gig was fantastic I'm very glad to report, a homecoming to Dingwalls (now called Lock 17 for some reason), the launchplace of their first album, was somehow appropriate. The place was packed, perhaps partly because of an enormous free guestlist, but there must have been a generous sprinkling of paying punters (like us) too.
A shamelss attempt was made to return to glories past, with Vessel coming onto the stage in silhouette form first of all, but without the fully elaborate painting-himself-real thing. And the stand-in spectral roadies ripped the paper too. They were reasonable lookalikes, but we weren't all fooled, particularly not Iceman who was in the crowd. The balloon animals were a lovely touch, and the instructive illustrations too.
The set was a mix of very new and very old, almost none from the difficult second album "Shiney on the Inside", but a good few early rarities, including my personal favourite "Cookie", also "Slip Into Me", "Life on a Crescent", "Ballroom" and more. The new material all sounds good, get the new album from Outstanding Records, I keep leaving my copy places, so am not entirely familiar with it yet. It's got "Gentleman Jim" on it though, which is ace.
From comments on the Devant yahoo group it seems there were a few more songs on the setlist which weren't played, I'm kind of glad they didn't encore with "Ginger" though. GRATE though it is, that song signifies a point when they were written off by the mainstream music press to me, which is sad. What with all things Simon Pegg (OK, just Sean of the Dead doing well at the moment, hopefully someone will find a way of re-releasing "Asylum", the comedy series that featured the songs of the Devants from about 1996. I heard on the David Walliams website that he was in it too, don't remember him, only Simon and Jessica really.
Anyway, see my pictures of the whole band in action or just Professor Rimschott and here's a pic from Ice-man's phone more later, don't want to spoil you.
Blimey, I only mentioned Quentin Hann here once and suddenly I'm getting loads of traffic, is he the new Keira Knightly? BBC says Hann's ready to meet Hicks in the ring! Saw Steve Davis ALMOST get the highest break of the Embassy World Championships earlier. But not quite, he positioned himself badly on the last pink, did a fantastic pot and left a long but OK black. And missed it, only 127.
