Supposed to give current info about my gigs and recording, but has overflowed into reviews, a memoir and daily musings.

Burn Rules Not Bras
I was at Gina's today, making a banner. She's doing a banner project and asking lots of female friends to make one for her. I started mine, embroidered on an old bra, which is going to hang from a cardboard Venus de Milo. We drank coffee and ate pasta and cherries, and I worked out the chords of a children's song for her daughter, who is learning guitar. It was lovely to hear all her news- there are lots of exciting things on her horizon- and to sit peacefully sewing as her white cat and her black cat wandered by.

I can't decide what I want to be. I thought I was an illustrator and then I turned into a musician by accident. Along the way I've wanted to be a fireman and HGV driver and it's getting too late now! I can't stop writing songs, and if I did, I'd not be able to stop drawing pictures. I wish I could play piano, trumpet and accordion. I always used to long for long blonde hair until I dyed my hair blonde and I looked disgusting. I nearly bought a motorbike (BSA Bantam), but spent the money on a bass amplifier instead and joined Joby and the Hooligans in 1977. I can't resist going into charity shops and buying clothes which I often take back the next day.
I eat Magnum Classics all summer long, and mini-poppadums all winter. In spring and autumn, I don't eat anything.

Lovely bra banner! I like the sentiment too-I only have three that properly fit me so i would be silly to burn them!
