So I told her to get lost and leave the keys under the tortoise...

First things, as always in my blog, shall come first. If you don't understand the title of this post, don't worry. Only one person may actually know what it's about, and even that one person thinks I'm mental. So you aren't alone.


Anyways, not much has really been going on. More Spainige, chilling in the sun, swimming, visiting markets and castles (not a good idea in 40 degree heat, by the way), etc etc. I come home on Wednesday, so we're going out for paella tomorrow. To celebrate me leaving, if thats the right word. Good times


Thats about it. Like I said last time, I'm going on Greek camp for 2 weeks on Sunday, so I dont know when my next post will be. Until then, peace and love


P.S if you havent already, check out my music blog at http://www.somemusicalnotes.blogspot.com/, its good stuff

Holiday, oh holiday, and the best one of the year

Im writing this from the sunny climes of Spain. Its one in the AM, and its way too warm to sleep, so I thought I'd catch up on some long overdue blogging.

Im officially 18 now. I got some cracking gear for my birthday. A pocket watch, books, a hip flask, a writing set, and much alcohol. I always think it's ironic people give you booze on your 18th, because now you can just go buy it for yourself anyways. Despite that, I'm massively grateful to everyone who sent me stuff, or came to the festivities on the 9th and 10th. Twas great :)

Pretty much since then, I've been on holiday in Spain. Its regularly over 40 degrees, but ive managed to pack all sorts into the week and a bit I've been here. Go-karting, golf, swimming, pub trips, parties, hog roasts, and a lot of reading :)

1 more week on the hols, then it's off to summer school to learn ancient Greek 3 days after that, for another 2 weeks. I dont know how often ill get to update this blog while im there, but ill endeavour to do it. That said, my posts are pretty infrequent anyway, so I doubt you'll miss me. Anyways, ill give it a crack.

Till then, peace and love

New Stuff's Going Down!

Just a quick post to let you know I'm setting up a new blog, where me and some mates are going to be reviewing albums, gigs, soundtracks, singles and generally talking music. I thought I'd give it a go, to talk about something that matters quite a bit to me, and to improve my skills at the whole "writing" thing. If you want to check it out, the address is http://somemusicalnotes.blogspot.com/ . Hope you enjoy it!

Peace and love

Nathan Murphy's blog for kids who can't read good

Ay up people, another update, as promised.

Ive finally finished school now, and Ive officially gone from being a Batelian to an Old Batelian. Mixed feelings on that one. I'm really gonna miss the people at school, but I'm not sure ill miss the place, or the work, or the food, or the early mornings . Oh well, bigger and better things next year, university and all that.


This week is my last week of officially being a child. Yep, check me out, I'm 18 on Saturday. Ive been saying for the past 17 and a bit years that my 18th birthday won't excite me, cos reaching an arbitrary date in my life won't change me. Ill go to sleep on the 9th and wake up exactly the same on the 10th. But, if I'm honest, I'm actually well excited. I can vote, drink (legally) and get up to all other sorts of crazy shenanigans! Good times.


What else.... err, I've met someone with the best taste in music ever. Seriously, its actually incredible how much good music has been recommended to me in the past few days. I went for a delicious, nutritious curry, attempted to cure my rabbit of mange (bad times), I'm off to the cinema tomorrow and a gig I've been waiting to go to for month's on Monday. That's about it.

Peace and love y'all.


P.S. A good mate of mine went on his around the world gap year tour this week. If you want some good readings, check out his blog. Knowing Frazer, anything could happen, and it's inevitably going to be hilarious. So if anyone actually reads this, check out http://www.frazers-gapyear.blogspot.com/, it promises to be good!
