So need a holiday after planning the holiday

I realised I haven't had a proper holiday since last year in Ibiza so with the pressures and stress of the house move, job responsibilities and planning the actual holiday, I'm am so looking forward to it.

Hopefully this will recharge me because as soon as we get back we're moving out of the flat and into the new house - the very next day we fly back. Not looking forward to the 11 hour jetlag from a 24 hour flight but at least I've sourced a cheap removal bloke by a chance meeting through ebay.

Our landlord, Stav took the move out news rather well, in fact he should be nominated for the nicest landlord award 2007. We invited him out for a pub drink and agonized over how to break it to him with half an hour of cheery, subject-avoiding chit-chat.

At least last weekend was an extended bank holiday one starting off with Trev's bbq party. Nice to see some different people including some German guy who worked on colour effects of movies. His latest work is on the new Batman film (check out the new bike above). Party was fairly good only ruined by the Final Scratch for my DJ set. One channel decided to stutter then give up totally after six tracks. Even Kev had the same problem on a newer version so both of us were left to use old vinyl or Kev's Virtual DJ.

Not much to report for the rest of the weekend apart from discovering the Lego shop for some childhood nostalgia and a posh ready-made meal shop for rich, lazy London commuters.

Before I finish, I want to share with you what we've got planned for the NZ holiday, trips-wise, not places:-
  • Heli-hike
  • Waitomo Caves
  • Lost World including abseiling
  • White Island - volcanic island
  • Tandem Sky Dive over Lake Taupo
  • Hobbiton
  • Doubtful Sound - beautiful lake, valley, mountain view
  • Milford Sound - as above
  • Jet boating
  • Bungy - let's see if my pants will accept that one
  • Whalewatching
  • Geyserland - not geezerland
  • Edoras Tour - Lord of the Rings locations
  • Snowmobile - personal favourite on top of a mountain range
  • Snowboarding - if we get time!

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Image
Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
