Ho Bloody Ho

Tom's knackered. Heavy cold, a long term drawing to a close (this learning to read shit - it's hard) and an hour's ski lesson this morning all add up to a weary and distinctly grumpy fella.

...and he's the cheery one. Milo has an abscess on his tongue which means he screams every time he tries to eat anything. Along with an ear infection this is not making him particularly jolly company.

What a cracking day to put up the tree.

This, however, is cheering me up and making me feel surprisingly festive. I saw them in 2009 with no static (middleman was there too I think) when they were supporting Laura Marling. They blew our socks off.

Course, they're waaaayy too commercial now....
