### Updates

Back to a tricky week at work, but we got through and made it to the weekend. I'm home alone for a couple of days this weekend, so have spent some time relaxing, reading and got to see some live music. 

My Online Quiz League team got relegated this week after a tough season, but we go again after the Christmas break, and I'm sure we'll bounce back.

**Reading**. Nick Cleggs 'How to fix the Internet'. 

### Live Music

Last night, went to Whelans in Dublin, to see the magnificent Turin Brakes, who played a fantastic show. This tour is in support of their 10th album, and I've loved them all along the way. 

They played a great selection from across the catalogue and a sold out Whelans was in good voice. 

A few pictures from the show:

### Recommended Music

I think that I might be late to the party with this one. Curtain Twitcher released Breathe, Breathe and Breathe again in 2024, but it only just appeared on my radar.

It's a lovely long collection of ambient, synth driven tracks with repeating loops and themes that develop organically into some great sounds. 

I listened to this all the way through on Friday, and then hit repeat and did it again.  
  
**Highly recommended.**
