Cotswold Outdoor...

Yesterday I went shopping for a sleeping bag at Cotswold Outdoor.

So many exciting things in that store - I got distracted and nearly bought this amazing RAB Microlight Jacket and these Buffalo Pile Mitts.

I'm off to Spain tomorrow for the much anticipated DADS/Champs gigs in Palma. Wish me luck...

Right now is a good time for the Oxford shirt.

I just bought this great short sleeved yellow Ben Sherman Oxford shirt from Swindon Outlet Village for £15.

This is how I'm rocking the Oxford shirt right now. The shirt pictured is from Aquascutum at Bicester Outlet Village reduced to just £10!

Baseball on ESPN...

I love baseball. Not the game particularly. Just the baseball culture. It's such a stylish sport.

I spent this afternoon watching Philadelphia Phillies beat Houston Astros (my other favourite team) in a rerun of the classic Game 5 of the 1980 National League Pennant.

Check out this stylish old chap and his home-made ladder. I bumped into him on my way swimming today. Home-made ladders are so on-trend right now.

Trevor (and his newly designed facial hair) looked particularly dashing at the Field View Festival in Wiltshire this weekend, which we both played with Danny and The Champions of The World...
