This morning I posted tickets to Martin who sent me this:
I'd like to bring my wife, Lisa.. she's never been to one of your gigs.. so if we won the tickets, I'd be able to get a babysitter and we could both come!
 :-) See you on the 16th! :-)

I've been rehearsing with James and Michael and am very much looking forward to playing with them! it's not long now.. less than two weeks.. I love the new sounds.. and James will be singing with me on an Icelandic track! ;)

Thank you to Kitty who sent me a Scary trousers shirt from the Never Wear store..
