Just got back from a night out to see the musical in Gijon.
I was initially pretty sceptical about what we were going to see, but it turned out my worries were unfounded and what we enjoyed was an excellent production. It was very well interpreted, with the translation and adaptation to the language first class.
I never got round to seeing the original in London, but based on this version, I’d recommend it to anyone!

So finally I have got myself a blog, something I have been looking at for a while.
Q: What was holding me up?
A: My previous hosting deal with .
Earlier this month my hosting deal ran out (I forgot about it and it expired!) and I realised my account had closed and the site was down. This didn’t happen without warning, 123-reg are very good about letting you know in advance, and give you a grace period, its just I never got round to renewing.
Lucky for me….
Now before I go on, I have nothing against 123-reg, I was with them a for a couple of years, its just I guess I outgrew their offerings. How do I know? Just take a look at what offer you for your money, and tell me you have something better.
I am now happily signed up for two years to their basic incredible offering. Just registering and paying up, getting my site and email back up, configured, and this weblog setup via the ‘One-click Setup’ function took minutes. Even the DNS transfer went through in a couple of hours! Great stuff.
I first heard of them from , where he has saved me the effort of explaining in more detail whats good about these guys with his write-up .
So, and feel free to use my webid ‘malapata’ as your referrer when you sign up. Thanks 
I’ll post more as I explore all the features and toys I now have to play with.

This first post could focus on one of a number of themes, but I can’t for the life of me decide which!
I also didn’t want to make any promises of interesting stuff which I can’t keep! So….
I guess we’ll see a mixture of all sorts, from DIY, boring web stuff, photography, and anything else that I may fancy sharing with family, friends, and the rest of the web.
I have been messing with this website for years now, but never got any real content up, mostly for lack of an easy way to manage it, so I see this blog as my easy route to getting more stuff on my site. We’ll see!
I plan on slowly moving the look of this blog to the design of my site, as I learn my way around the .
I hope to make it worth your while reading, and look forward to your comments.
