| Icarus With Guitar |
My mate Ness has just sent this new picture of me (well in my dreams). 'Icarus With Guitar' which is my kind of dream - how cool is this picture though? I am still writing with a vengeance, this time its Monsters and I am rattling off the words and glad to see it taking shape. Being as quiet as a mouse though because my Dan is studying for his GCSEs - bless him. It was his last day at school yesterday and he was searched by the police on the way to the park. They were looking for alcohol since it is traditional to have a leaver's bbq in the park. I asked him if he was bothered and he said, 'No, those who wanted to drink had already stashed theirs in the bushes.' Dan's still a water baby though, hates fizzy drinks, isn't much fond of beer or wine and has only had a couple of glasses of Champagne in his life - ata boy, got a taste for it. Abbi is also doing exams. Doesn't know whether to be a tennis playing bio-chemist or a bio-chemist who plays tennis. But she is clear, the science route is her way to go. Rice in the USA have already been knocking on our door, offering a scholarship - and so too St John's, Durham. Such choices, but such changes, I guess we all get our wings in time and theirs are budding already - sigh. Everything is about to change! Mind you, I have been asked to give a 'keynote address' in Australia in November - yay to Byron Bay! I just got the new Steve Earle LP - but here's an oldie with Emmylou Harris whom I really adore.
