The problem with Facebook status updates is that anything you write can so easily be misinterpreted. This evening, for instance, I was going to write that I had had a busy weekend- had car serviced, travelled 300+ miles, got a new passport, a new wii (incl. wii fit), a gas bbq, and tickets to see Ray Lamontagne. Trouble is that it sounds a lot like I'm boasting which makes me look arrogant, self-obsessed etc. So I just settled with a sarky comment about the new bbq which is wholly acceptable given its mid-October and I live in Leicestershire.
The thing I am most excited about though is the Ray Lamontagne concert. OK, so its not till next Feb but here's the thing. This is the first gig I'll have been to this Millenium!! Sad but true. I know this makes me sound like I don't get out much (which is fair comment btw) but its more the case that when we do get out we tend to go to food or film related stuff. Interestingly I have never been into centre of Birmingham before- which is pretty odd when you think I currently work just near Solihull. So perhaps the fact that this is a double first might help account for my enthusiasm on this one. Or maybe not. Anyway, at least here I feel like I'm allowed to gloat.
