So this is shaping up to be at the least a busy and interesting month. So far tryout practices or similar with an understated alt-folk act from Surrey, a steampunk / goth / dark cabaret bunch starting up in Watford and a roots/Americana band from North London (possibly a tryout gig with them as well!); plus playing fiddle for an Irish gig on Sunday in Ruislip, starting work on a video showreel on Friday and lots and lots of other things I’ve sent off messages about that probably won’t go anywhere. Oh, and of course there is still the matter of finding somewhere permanent to live, preferably before my fortnight at the current place expires!

Just one thought: there really ought to be airmiles for trains (railmiles I suppose). And coaches, or preferably both. Either that or the invention of teleportation is overdue.
