		<title>A little bit of Hong Kong</title>

		<title>A Few Favourite Albums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t want to create an ordered list of my favourite albums from this decade accompanied by pretentious paragraphs explaining my choices so I abandoned that idea and decided to just put up the album covers and forgo the reasons.

		<title>The Edinburgh Festivals 2009</title>

		<title>Banksy vs. Bristol Museum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We recently attended the free Banksy Exhibition at Bristol Museum after queuing for just over two hours.
