....

On the up side, the band continues to sound ok... And I'm off to Norwich this weekend to see my brother. I haven't seen him in about 8 months, so it's long overdue. And I can't tell you how much I need to get out into the countryside, much as the inhabitants of Norwich may think they live in a city. Now the down side.

John Peel died. I find this slightly upsetting, he was a very interesting man. The world will be just that little bit less so without him. Still, he was 65, and recent earthquakes in Japan killed 31 people and left 100,000 without a home. But I didn't know any of them, and none of them had ever made me laugh.

My secret shame is that I'm upset, like everyone else, that John Peel has passed away, yet can't publically admit that I've never listened to his radio 1 show. Evening time in an empty flat will feel that bit lonelier without Home Truths.
