Returned from Milady's place. She's staying with me on Friday. The slow evolution to tidiness is going to need a right kick up the backside and possibly some kind of turbo-charger. We're both off to Nick's on Saturday where she will get a chance to meet some of my older friends. Nick and I have been chums since the Imperial College days, some twenty seven years ago.
Gods, I'm old. Milady keeps complimenting me on how well-preserved I seem, but blames it on my idle and frivolous lifestyle: she may well have a point as I've hardly worn myself out with heavy use.
It also seems she is a smit as I am.
Obviously we both have some sort of brain fever, which explains soppiness etc.
The only other excuse for me posting this, apart from the fact that I really rate it as a song, is that I was in a duo/band which opened for Joan on her tour in 2000. I asked her about the chords to 'Love and Affection' and she said 'All guitarists ask me that question', and didn't answer further. So....I watched her from the side of the stage right through the tour. Evidently she knew folk were checking, and so for all of that small tour she played different inversions of the opening chords every night. The other weird thing is a friend from an older generation, Peter Noble, once owned a record company, and turned a young and unsigned Joan down: he never got over it really.

Rejoice in your smitness
Do hope soppiness gets better soon.

Cressy had her first child in Sept 2005 and is now retired from the business: but she still has a great voice, and plays a mean guitar.
Other also rans include.....In my business almost everyone's good: however, you have to be, like Napoleon's generals, lucky.
well preserved brain fever
also, i do think it is important that some people are mainly decorative. otherwise the world would be some sort of pawson/cromwellian nightmare.
Re: well preserved brain fever
Like a Fabergé egg, I reckon I'm a somewhat if an expensive option, and one which most women couldn't afford: I'm never going to be much of a provider.
Oh well.

I met mine in Wyoming, but these days we really depend on the Internet for personal contact. Thank goodness for the Internet.

I should be getting too old for all of this lark, honestly.
