So it seems John Foxx is playing his Tiny Colour Movies soundtrack at the Brighton Film festival after all.
I had an email last night from the venue to say that tickets are on sale now for the event on the 18th November.
he is redeemed, having previously threatened to cancel this in favour of a CO showing in Leeds on the 3rd.
Why are these two events not the same???
It's such a load of chaos.
And now it seems he and Louis are playing one night in Basel, Switzerland instead of anything in Germany as hoped. Basel?Why??
I know of less than one fan based in Switzerland...
This is all very frustrating a really crap. As soon as we can get something sensible happening at metamatic again th ebetter. Before people lose faith entirely.
Mine is restored a little with the wider world at large after a very refreshing walk in the Forest this morning. The October weather like this is unbeatable - crisp air, bright sunshine and perfect light.
We all did our own little "Autumnwatch' and LC has a bucketful of acorns, mushrooms, beechmast etc which she adores collecting.
Saw a gatekeeper too, and speckled wood still on the wing, which might be late, but I'm not sure of my butterflies.
Played hide and seek, piggy backs and mud splashing which was all the best of fun.
Toys with their instructions and limited usage are SO boring - no wonder people have to by more and the next.
Get them out there. Give them fallen leaves, muddy puddles and a pile of sticks.
Trees, birdsong, bushes and time to shout and laugh.
There is definitely a spiritual quality about the Forest, especially when you get out into it properly away from the people. We saw no-one in two hours, and felt suitably humbled by the presence and majesty of the ancient oaks and beeches around Oakley. It's good to feel the hunility, to be small.
A human need I think, satisfied by being out with nature now and again.
haven't seen the kids so bright for a while, all getting on well and screaming with laughter. Awed silence when we came across three deer in a sunlit glade too - they just watched respectfully with no talking or anything, without any prompting from us.
A beautiful moment.
MSN chat with J last night ended far too abruptly considering we haven't spoken for ages. Just wish I had felt more inspired at the time. It comes in short bursts these days and I'm tired agian now even though its only nine.
Trying to persuade Biscuit this evening that applying to Universities other than Southampton is a a good idea. She has her heart set on coming here next year, but I really think she needs to keep her options open. I have my reservations about whether it really is a good idea anyway and doesn't just come from us living here and her boyfriend starting his degree course here this week.
NOT good enough reasons to move down.
Going to Uni is about finding you're own way in the world, living away from your family properly and sorting out yourself and your future apart from them.
I worry a little that being here will lessen the experience for her.
But it's unnecessary to worry of course.
I know this.
Its in His hands to do what is best, and that will be what happens. Perhaps I'm wrong, and it will be a really great time for all of us.
