I quite enjoyed the day job yesterday. My new ability to retain in almost Buddhist-like calmness, seems to be confusing a few people and it’s interesting to see other’s reactions when I don’t rise or become flustered. I wonder how long it’ll last? I keep expecting it to wear off any minute.

Yesterday was the 14th anniversary of my first ever Madness gig at a London venue. I’d seen them before by then, but travelling to London to see the Magnificent 7 on their home turf is like going to see Scotland playing at Hampden Park—it has an extra special something.

I hope you all liked the interview with poet Sage Cohen in yesterday’s post. Hopefully it made a nice change from the norm, and I think you’ll agree it made for great reading. I’d like to thank Sage for the opportunity to be involved with her new book and for coming to Freedom [...]

The mad rush to try and complete many of the fiddly to-do’s on my March GDR list began today – and many of them were accomplished. With a lot of these smaller things out of the way, my GDR review began to look not half as bad as I was expecting purely through the [...]
