Hi Ron! We're playing on the 12th at a pub in Shoreditch and it'd be great if you're in town then! We're back to NZ in early April for a few months too.. Vanessa & Cy

Aye same old, same old... start a new term and a new project when i return. Looking forward to getting back, life at home is so slow.

I start work on dissertation at the end of this year, how would you like to be 'Editor in chief' - dreading it, hate writing. Still thinking about a subject that'll keep me interested enough to read book upon book.

ill have her get on it!!
Christmas was grand here, the usual stuff, just on the sofa in front of a massive fire. Suppose you are in front of the Air Con fan!

I take it the Spa is closed for a few days? Ae Shim enjoying a break i hope?

Hey Ron! About time you showed up on Myspace. =)

Uhm, well, I only have two weeks vacation left this year (vacation year is from 1st of may till 30th of April), but if I don't find a better use for them - like say a tour or something - I'm considering revisiting in February in time for the Phuket blues festival.

..and don't knock the fat bloke with the harmonica. He plays lovely. =)

But whats with all the young violinists with swedish hairdoes..?

Just browsing the 'Liberty's of London' website, came across this little fellow:

http://www. liberty. co. uk/fcp/product/Liberty/Desktop/Snapping-Gaitor-Staple-Remover,-Jac-Zagoory-Designs/2741

remembered you had something similar and not to knock it, something, probably a lot cheaper. I love Thailand.

Shona arrived at the flat yday with her new bike!

Its VERY CHIC, form and function, and it folds! very handy. A good investment.
To follow in her mothers foot steps it'll be carelessly resting in her hallway or on top of the mantle piece, in 20 years time, you know, an interior statement.
Conversation piece, "i used to ride that to school, when i attended the Glasgow School of Art."

anyway..... i will do. My love to Aeshim and the mutt.

Back to school, the weather in Glasgow....need i say more.

Hi Ron! I heard a whisper that there was some accommodation free in November... so so so tempting to take a week off and hang out with you again! The bank balance isn't looking too pleased at the prospect though :( fingers crossed still though! Hope you're well x
