Went to see Mogwai at The Plug in Sheffield last night. Certainly the best gig I’ve been to. They’re playing the Albert Hall in September so I think I’ll get some tickets. Took some pics on the phone, but I don’t have a bluetooth adapter for my computer as yet, so the pics may have to wait.

Well, we had a fantastic time in Rome. Our hotel was close to the Roman Forum, Capitoline hill and the Colosseum.
The Fori of Augustus and Triani have recently emerged from extensive archeological work and the Commune di Roma is now considering whether to dig up the Via dei Fori Imperiale (which Mussolini drove through the middle of the site) and see what lies beneath.
St. Peters Basilica and the Vatican museum are truly breathtaking, you really get a sense of how powerful the papacy was in the Renaissance period.
A small selection of the many photos I took are taking shape in the Gallery.
