It turns out it was homeopathic. The record was released and then withdrawn again before any copies left the shops... you've definately heard it, even though no-one ever played it.

Well, I had a nice night out with two of my oldest friends. They were on good form, and it was really good to catch up. The gig was at the Astoria, which is a horrible shithole.

*VERY* excited... they're letting me out again on Saturday to go back up to Lord's for the 3rd day against Sri Lanka!

Well, we arrived in plenty of time to see the cricket. Apparently I could (if I wanted) apply for half my money back, due to the briefness of the day's play.

They planted a new tree a good few years ago (they knew the old one had a disease), and I think they've agreed to transplant it in due course to deep mid-wicket (it's only 6' high at the moment).

Interesting. Is that legal under contract? Like I give a shit.
