The nights who say knee!

Yes, I have returned - since about two weeks ago now, and have just been remiss in updating here. The pictures are up on flickr now, and my myspace (see right) has got a video of me doing a spot of jumping off a rather nice kicker!! (yes, I did slow it down a bit, but - honest - that what it felt like!!)

In the process I've picked up a strange shin ache when I'm walking, and Anna's apparently done something nasty to her cruciate ligament (although she didn't actually notice for three days...). Why we go on these 'holidays' I do not know!

Also listening to a few tracks from the rather talented Bobby Thorpe's band "Irvine" - http://www.myspace.com/irvineband - largly since the 'hook' from first of them ("Miss Me") has been stuck in my head since the wonderous Mr. Mortimer played his demo to me about four years ago!!

(for those who don't know Bob, he used to play guitar in our church's worship band, and was no small influence on my current playing style!)

Also been enjoying the first few demos coming from Jon Blaylock, the other lead guitarist we've had at Every Nation since Bob, who along with the jawdroppingly amazing Drew-the-drummer & Joel-the-bassist have formed up as http://www.myspace.com/bladelippoetry!

So I suppose I'd best go home and start writing some new songs ;-)
