I tested my Edirol UA-25 a few days ago and it still works, so I have no technical excuses for not recording my latest songs. Though really I don’t want to rush them through. I enjoy the writing part the most and just letting the songs sit for a while is often good for them.

I should be moving back down south in early December, and then have all the time over christmas to record. November should really be about enjoy the rest of my time in London, as I have decided to go traveling in the new year. My flight is not booked yet though, as i’m still trying to decided exactly where to go and when.

I messed up a little last night, mostly because of being completed under prepared and the surprise of having to do a few extra songs than expected. But it got me to realising that I should really be doing a few more shows than I am, then perhaps I wouldn’t get so nervous.

I played ‘Derek’ again which I have yet to get around to recording, mark reminded me that I said I would get it down ages ago but haven’t. I was talking to him about doing a geeky single and some cover art, no promises this time though as notorious for not doing things when I say.

As expected last night Planet Earth was great. I must try and go out to see some more of his shows. :D

I’m probably going to be playing on sunday this weekend at the embassy bar in Islington. I went out and got strings especially for it. That and the high e snapped again. its always that one.

Its only a few songs but i’m sure it’ll be fun. I don’t know what time I’ll be on as its open mic so apparently its all decided when people arrive. I also get to finally meet the much admired sam.
