Last day at home with the kids today, finishing off homework and stuff before they go back to school tomorrow.
Washing uniform, cleaning shoes.

My turn to cook with S and A - they chose rock cakes which always work well.
Very simple - something I'm tempted to run with in chiurch on Sunday when it's my turn to cook.
Again.

We all had a great walk this afternoon too, rediscovering local. Hopped down off the Horseshoe Bridge onto the river bank and walked a while along the shore. Bit dirty, bit smelly and too much rubbish, but weird to look back at the house from this perspective.
A great place for small boys to hang out and explore stuff.

Caught up with Ris on the phone this evening and it's really good to hear that everything is picking up. He's had a long afternoon with SM and they have now got a much stronger and mutually respectful relationship.
Or so it would seem.
I have yet to trust him entirely, given that he seems to know so little (and has so little material!!) about his charge that he was amazed how many book covers there are, and 'totally stunned' by the timeline I have put together. Surely as manager of a major established act you should KNOW this stuff??
Anyway, we're all now being asked to send in five choices for inclusion in the "secret" gig that is now being planned for October.
Great idea.
Mine have to include "I Want To Be a machine", "Burning car" "In A Silent Way", "The Garden" and "Camera".
Easy, but what are the chances.
Seems there is muchness to look forward to again this year, but the ICA performance has been 'postponed'...

And SM has read my Sideways review, relating his excited discovery of it to Ris and saying how 'brilliant'; it is. That's a result too - my name is slowly filtering in to the conscience.

Over the weekend, I have had at last a chance to play some music.
Tonight, it's TGs "2nd Annual report"
Otherwise, this week's recommended listening is

Corinne Lucy - Small Way of Life
