    Not the best... As a fair few of you will know, I Cracked my rib on Saturday whilst mountain biking.. I've got to drive from brum to Oxford today in agony to get to a job interview... Which I'd rather not postpone. If anyone's driving southbound on the m40/a34 between 1 and 3 this afternoon please steer clear of any silver seat ibizas you come across!



    Best of wishes S , a Seat Ibiza fuelled by Ibuprofen and crossed fingers is all I can give .  
    Get well soon and obviously stay away from anyone with a cold/sniffles. Fingers crossed that they don't ask you to dance in the interview.

    You could be the face of the new "Don't drink and cycle" campaign?

    Look after yourself, Sally - get yourself a) mended and b) the job!

    If things are going badly , keel over and ask for a rematch .

    I'm happy (or should that be Frappy?) that it's finally proper bona fide UK release day but not so happy I'm at work - really should have thought ahead and booked the day off!

     I think it was a cathartic experience but it has definitely taken its toll on me both physically and emotionally.



    The one good thing about that is that you still care so much.

    I often think that the pain of memories like that are a beautiful double edged sword of both loss & love.

    Hugs to you :)

    Oh sally! Best of luck for the interview, & feel better soon!

    I feel covered in, surrounded by, immersed in 'Tales of Us' and by GOD it feels good.
    Really very glad I waited till today to hear it, in full & as it should be.

    I love it. Really, really love it.

    I have NOTHING to do today :) I had the choice of listening to the full quality WAVs on my pc/amp in the lounge... or listening to the converted MP3s on my phone + bedroom amp... whilst lying in bed. I chose the latter! Ooh, hearing Thea for the very first time. Thunderous!

    I can't stop listening :)

    Yet to pick out my initial faves. Think I need another listen or 2...

    I'm feeling frustrated because everybody else in the world seems to have heard Tales of Us, but Amazon hasn't even shipped my copy as yet.

    Elliot suggested that I buy one from a record shop, of which there must be lots in London.  'Yes,' I thought, 'there must be'.  So I set out to find out on the Internet where the records shops are.  I went to the HMV site, which has a facility to find their nearest shop.  I tried that, it displayed the word "loading" and then... nothing.  I'm not even sure whether their big shop on Oxford Street is still open, and it seems a long way to go on the off chance.  So I googled "record shops in London".  That brought up shops specialising jazz funk, and all sorts of stuff.  I tried googling "ordinary record shops in London" and it seems to ignore the word 'ordinary', to bring up the same results.  Maybe there are no more ordinary record shops.  Not for the first time, I have a feeling that the Internet has wrecked the world.
