Day 42 of pneumonia. Bolloxed, tbh. I am never ill. When I rocked up at the Doc’s they said “Wow. We never see you.” *good. Take me bloody seriously then* Had some antibiotics, some steroids, nothing shifting it. I have pertussis, a strain of pneumonia that has 2 other delightful names; adult whooping cough (REALLY scary when that kicks in) and The 100 day cough. Yeah, thanks. Thank feck for Netflix, box sets and new music. So far, gigs cancelled : ELO, Yes, Diesel Park West, Judith Owen, Bonnie Raitt

Still crossing fingers for next weekend, in Brum. We cancelled Bonnie in London because it is mid week, trains, tube, etc. But the Brum gig is next door to the hotel, it’s our wedding anniversary and her guitar player, George Marinelli, has promised to meet up for a Guinness. I gotta make that, don’t I?

Thank you for being so entertaining, these past few weeks.

Say a prayer for our wonderful @Pencilsqueezer. He is going through some tough stuff. Send him good vibes and love. He really needs it.

Here is the wonderful Foy Vance, from his new album.
