Twenty spots now. I thought they came out all at once?

Media archive material has arrived from metamatic to help with the research for the biography. There is SO much of it. I've seen a fair amount of stuff before, but its a lot of material when its all collected together. Reviews, interviews - from 2" square cuttings to 10 page features. From all over the world too.
Going through it all and even putting it in order is going to be a nightmare - starting tonight!

Picked up a copy of the Joakim remix of Mr No this afternoon on CD, so its somehting to pass on to Andreas. I think its the missing piece now and I have all the recent remixxes - worth putting them together on an album too I think, and maybe mixxing in one or two of Luca and Olaf's work?
Not much of a remix tho on first hearing - seems to just have a synthesized vocal and a sequencer over the top??

Bought Trx a 3 disc box set of worship songs today and I've decided to go for the DCUK figures we saw in Haskins at the weekend. Buckaroo for Alice and a brilliant working car race track picked up by Celia at a Bazaar last weekend for Stan.
Not sure what we've got for Lc yet. It won't be until next year that she has the faintest idea whats going on.

Had a meeting for an hour this afternoon with the representative of the University Music department and told him of our decision re The Building@StDenys. I like that working title - it could be used in many ways. CB gave me a newsletter identifying a dozen or so similar projects which I need to look into. Everyone seems most excited about what's going on at St marylebone and St Pancras in London.
And then, curiouser and curioser…FG mentions en passant that his cousin is Chris Bachelor, Professor of Music or something at TvU!! I just love it when things tie in together like this. I'll chat to him about this later

Elsi has developed no more than about 15 spots - most in and around her left ear.
She's been a lot more cheerful since the spots came out!
Has a friend "Ah-Haa" (Arthur) coming around this afternoon to pass on the Pox. Alice insists she has it too, and keeps scrtaching a bite on her leg. She is SUCH a drama queen!

Worked late in the office last night to finish of some crap for LJ - the AA Street by Street project. I have decided (hmmm??) that I'm not doing any more of this. Its low paid boring work and the cartography is terrible - I don't really want to be associated with such rubbish any more.
Late night thoughmeans that today I can add the finishing touches to the Pocket Guide and then start to wind down and clear up the office.
Also spend some time looking up websites for Church projects similar to ours and take something along to a meeting with the Diocesan representatives this afternoon. It will be very interesting to see what comes of this, and I am preparing for a not less than enthusiastic response.

In the meantime, burning a couple of CDs for Rob's Christmas present, in response to the albums he gave me in Oxford. Doing him a copy of Heart On Snow, Scott 2 and 3, Throbbing Gristle and Tubeway Army.
Beginning to write Christmas cards and think of the pieces I'm going to put on this years mp3 compilation. It'll go to Mirfee, Kink and Athol this year.
