Holy Days
Now that the summer has gone is here and festivals finished, I’m taking a break from blogging for a week in order to spend some time with my family, cook, visit the dentist, read loooads of books (have five on the go), go to some gigs without a camera, walk outside at 11am with no idea where I’m going, clean this messy kip of a gaff, write loads of bad poetry, get enormously fat on potato salad and bacon, brush my hair, visit friends and just be me for a while.
So while I’m gone, here are my favourite OHR things:

…Could you do me a favour while I’m off? Let me know what kind of stuff you like and don’t. Loads of posts go uncommented but I don’t take this as necessarily meaning it’s unwanted. Flyers for example, people like to just look at them? What would you like to see more of? Are the comprehenisve news features missed? Do you trust me to review releases? Would OHR improve with more features and interviews or is it just fine the way it is? Do let me know in the comments below because when I come back I’ll be raring to go for 2.0!
Missing you all ready!
