Lazy Weekend

Well it seems it's all quiet, here at Read Towers, we didn't have the usual routine of helping the kids with the homework, as it's half term. And we have also been enjoying the sunshine....yes remember that word :)
My football side Newport County won 3-1 away Vs Woking..happy days!
I have been getting to listen to lots of music, Steve Vai latest CD is really good,I have only played it once, but it's pretty good.
Went to Sainburys in Kidderminster today, we ended up going to the cafe upstairs. Not bad food, I had a Beef Lasagne (Not Horse),chips and Garlic Bread, Latte and a slice of Coffee and Walnut cake, not the best meal ever, but certainly better than a McDonalds!

Once we arrived home,did a bit more house work,washing up and hoovering, then settled down with the family to watch the rest of "West Side Story" on Blu ray. I couldn't beleive that the film is 52 years old!, and the story of Racism is just the same,even now, although things are not as bad as they where. Although it's a bit dated,my kids enjoyed it, with my oldest saying he found it moving and emotional. I can't wait for him to see 1973 version "Jesus Christ Superstar", it's due to be released on Blu ray soon, and I for one can't wait, it's my all time favourite musicial.

So until JCS turns up, it is back to normal films with the kids, Real Steel will be next.

The Radio front has been up and down on MW, I managed a few new ones,  1320Khz WLQY Hollywood,FL is one that springs to mind.

Tried to get my Climax DTV300 run via SDR software, didn't have any sucess. I will have to probably ask someone for help,or just sit on it for a bit. The good news is the Climax is working, I had a quick play with the bundled software and tested the DAB and FM, so it works, but the software is plain awful.

Ok, thats all for now, I will leave you with a Video from one of my favourite country bands at the moment. They are called the Small Town Pistols and are Canadian based, they where part of "The Wilkinsons", anyway they have a new CD out next week, and they never get plugged in the UK, so have a listen, Amanda Wilkinson has an amazing voice, and she is the real deal live! This track is called "Colour Blind" Enjoy!
