Just finished an uber-stretch of shows and am now back in Winchester enjoying the first of a mammoth three days off. Thanks to everyone who came down to shows, as ever, it was fun, if tiring. Thanks also to Rachel, who accompanied me to a bunch of the shows filming for a little documentary piece thing. It should be great. And big up to PRE and SOFS for our little mini-tour… FREEDOM!

I’m off to Eastern Europe on Thursday, which I cannot wait for, it’s going to rule. Expect another diary report. Jamie’s coming with me again, possibly with a video camera this time. Mayhem awaits. Oh, and Room Thirteen have put up the next two installments of my French diary now, which you can find here. Enjoy.
