New Decade

I am in denial no more... it has hit... as of 7.30 this morning 30 years ago today I decided to show my face (my mother tells me... after 30+ hours of agony... I'm not sure if she has decided it was worth it yet ;-)!!! I'm now officially, well in my terms anyhow, an adult. I'm hoping that this does not mean I'll start wearing beige and become obsessed with Cliff... still its a new era of possibilities, I'm lucky to be here and be healthy and here's to the next thirty!

I've had a wonderful break. Mbira camp was AMAZING! I met lots of lovely people and revisited some others I've met before. I learned so much it was untrue and I've come back with three new songs to irritate my neighbours with! (not to mention the gourd shakers I'm planning on getting to practice hosho!!! - I think I'm the neighbour from hell... I'll be featured on one of those programmes I'm sure!.... the phantom shaker player from old Liverpool town!) I'm hoping that I'll be able to post some piccies when I get some e-mailed to me from the people with cameras. Thanks again to the lovely Eve and James who picked me up and dropped me off and put up with me in the car for a total of 14 hours (you will get your rewards in a better place lads!)

I suppose I'd better get on with it then, lots to catch up on, nearly 150 e-mails to do something with, birthday or no birthday!

I just can't get it out of my head...

This morning I have woken up with a song in my brain that will not go... not the usual kind you hear on the radio and it sticks. Its the humming kind that you know you know, but can't recognise and even when you sing it to someone else they can't tell you what it is either.

Thank you for the kind comments about my upcoming silliness. I do realise that I am being daft, however it still seems strange to me that I'm nearly 30, I have a (reasonably) responsible job and a mortgage, and I still feel 16 even though my mother keeps telling me and I quote "use more cream on your mush kid, you don't want those wrinkles to get worse!!!" Nice that isn't it. ( I don't have any wrinkles - they is laughter lines!!!) Genetically I'm lucky, my mother who is nearly 60 (retiring in 8 weeks and 3 days she tells me this morning) looks ten years younger than that and has nary a crows trotter on her face. I'm hoping that I'll take after her.


So lady Jem, I shall take on more adventures, make sure I slap on the Nivea (thanks mum) and make sure I have some juicy gossip from the night out I will be having to celebrate!
