On opening them I find they’re both full of photography books, all up to date stuff and all in absolutely mint condition. Wow! – still puzzled though until I read the note which said something like:

“Saw you’d been having a bit of a shit time of it recently … You’ve been a great mate to me over the years so please accept this little gift from me in the hope that it might cheer you up a bit.”

Bloody hell man, I was gobsmacked.

So anyway, I know I said it via PM already but Paul (Zoot) – what a completely mad bar steward you are! Such a kind thought and incredibly generous of you. Thank you! Suffice to say, you properly made my day.

There’s nothing like random acts of kindness to restore a bit of faith in people eh?

Off to Prague tomorrow for a long weekend with Kel & Callum.

We’ve wanted to go for ages and having a fairly significant birthday this month seemed like the perfect excuse to get off our butts and book it!

We’re staying in a hotel about 10 mins from the centre, just over by Charles Bridge which should be great for some old-town sightseeing.

Fingers crossed for some snow this weekend! I love all that Bavarian architecture and it would be awesome to see the place looking properly festive

Right, we’re good to go. Expect much nerdy bloggage from the phone and about a million pics online sometime next week!
