hi.

I’m well.

saw the photos of my soon-to-be nephew today and almost started crying,

but a good cry.

but it’s my little brother.

-

music, well, have had Mumford & Sons on repeat since being pointed towards it.

as well as this, a very, very dangerous track if you’re in a foul mood.

and a fantastic Blur bio was on last night which got me back into them – here’s a dangerous track if you’re in a great mood.

2 out of those 3 were brought to my attention by my gal, Tara Noble.

so good, in fact, she accepted my plea to have a weekly slot here called ‘tuesdays with tara’ – you’ll learn a lot, I promise.

also, a friend of my sister’s is running a well-versed site of his musical favorites – although, the big brother in me would warn any sibling of the dangers of those who own more than 2 Joy Division albums.

but…hey.

-

the cable went out today, which was good.

I’m not a huge television fan,

but am addicted to television.

‘Top Gear’ might be the finest show made today – and I’m not even a car fan.

I am a fan of Nigella, she calls to me.

shut up, she does.

and ‘Friends’ is still funny.

shut up, it’s good.

-

and life is good,

how lucky am I?

no money in Africa, fly to England and – hey! we need loads of work done. can you stay?

can I stay?

I love staying!

so here I sit in a 4-bedroom overlooking the ocean.

and will be paid, in a few months, in boat – more on that later.

more on other stuff later.

great.
