Over to you techie chick :-)

Last night’s gig at the O2 was good, though I’m not a big fan of arena gigs. Had a better sound and feel in a field in Reading, and a way better view.

Here’s last night’s view

one to go. OK, I haven’t done the thumb yet, but you get the idea. There is some hope that Jude will get these before next winter. Actually, I’m about 3/4 of the way up the second one now, so hope springs (or winters in this case) eternal!

He is a presenter on the Dakar. He keeps me sane. Tonights highlights included him saying the pan pipes music they were playing over the film (well they are in Chile now) was Called “My father’s donkey is called Steve” – how random is that?

He does make me laugh…..

Well, I couldn’t leave the baggy cast off picot thingy at the top. So, here is the result of the un-cast-off and re-cast-off. Much better. See how much of the wool I reclaimed at the end – that’ll be quite a bit tighter then :-)

In the words of The Pub Landlord “Curse these hands! Don’t look at me!” ;-)

I’m a little calmer today, oh yes.

It’s 3:19 and not a work day, but ah well, Phil Wilding in eye liner. (He is funny and Welsh, so there’s every chance I would!)

Happy birthday bro, or Daren, or Dadge, or Dadgy-wadgy kin-kins poo-poohs ickle bro to give you your full title.

Doesn’t seem like 5 minutes ago you were the cute, well-behaved, smiling, sleeping through the night baby that made me look *so* bad.
