Peregrine Perfect

It’s amazing how a few little changes can make a big improvement to a bike. Since I last rode the Singular Peregrine it’s gained a Selle San Marco Rolls saddle, and the bar and shifter positions have been tweaked slightly. It feels like a completely new bike now.

Joglaresa – Wiltshire Music Centre, Bradford-on-Avon

I was a last-minute stand-in for tonight, making use of a spare ticket. It was an interesting evening of christmas related medieval and early folk music, all performed acoustically.

#73 – Metropolis

I’ve not seen this for possibly 20 years or so, and never in a version this long. The Blu-ray look superb for a film that’s now 83 years old.

I’m still a professional

Canon Professional Services have seen fit to let me renew my Gold CPS membership for another 12 months. Good job qualification is only based on how much you’ve spent on photography kit and not talent, or I’d really be in trouble.

#109 – Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

The weakest of the Star Wars trilogy, but it does feature Princess Leia in a gold bikini, so it’s not all bad.

#9 – Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

I’ve dug this out for a viewing tonight after Irvin Kershner passed away earlier this week.

The best Star Wars movie of the series, and long overdue a rewatch.
