Penniless In Espana

I've managed to sort everything out for our few days in Spain which start pretty early tomorrow morning. Well almost everything as just about an hour ago I noticed a few £10 notes and immediately remembered that I didn't change my money into Euros. It's probably be going to be a case of getting out the old credit card in some places but I doubt there will be anything that takes my fancy to buy as a souvenir. Especially after the keyring that my dad brought back from Cuba which I'm really struggling with getting my key to fit inside it!

Since getting back to Canterbury I've started to feel as if nothing as changed from last year. I've even fallen into the habit of listening to the same records as I was last year in the form of Swing Out Sister, The Rippingtons, Lee Ritenour and other obscurities. Not that they're bad of course, far from it but I'm struggling to find things that take my musical fancy currently and this has been the case since starting Uni as there have been plenty of distractions.
Part of the reason though was because at the same time I had a crush on one of the girls at college and as always, the music I was listening to at the time complemented it.
But I'm not going to be lead up the garden path to blandness, no way. There are too many radio stations guilty of that as it is, local and national.

However one thing that has raised my spirits in the last couple of days has been the Adam and Joe Podcasts from XFM. These are basically highlights packages from the late night Channel 4 duo's XFM programme from last year which I had the misfortune of missing when orginally broadcast due to working in ASDA on Saturdays. You really get a sense of the time they were recorded due to speculation about Billie Piper's acting possibly not being up to standard, hours before the new Doctor Who even started! On that same subject I personally feel that David Tennant in the lead role is a bit too chirpy for my liking and most of the stories are let down by the jolly personas of the characters overacting. I nearly fell asleep during tonight's episode but that's probably more because I'm not too keen on stories set in a historical time period.

However this is probably going to be my last entry into this blog before heading over to Spain so when I return I'll try my best to make what I did there sound interesting. A bit of the old booze may come in handy though whilst I'm there, if I can actually get hold of any!
