Wow what a night! Took Ian (Elbow newbie), to see the best band in the world last night. It seemed very weird cueing up outside the arena to see Elbow.

What a great winter we’re having! Proper cold weather rather than the wet and drab days we normally have to endure. Yesterday, we woke up to a good four inches of snow.
