Right... 1. I'm so proud of you. And of your Mum for coming to her senses; at least as much as she can for now... Knowing to some degree what she's like, I think she's made a big step forward. I'm glad that the inevitable bad reaction wore off, and I'm sure you know that given time her initial reservations and remaining denial will no doubt do the same. Was it raining in Winchester this weekend? Christ for some weird reason thinking of you there in the rain made me miss it for the first time in aaaaaages. And because I'm So Far Away I feel...a little sad.
2. But now I'm reminded why I don't miss it at all. What you said about the Railway and Winch people in general? I second that. And some. I bet I can guess who you're referring to as well... But then we always said that it was the most inbred place on Earth. I've never understood how your 'cool' can be increased by remaining so heart-breakingly static in such an incredibly small city: never getting out, never doing anything, never meeting anyone new. Working the same dead end job and claiming to be "going somewhere" but really going nowhere: just like you were 5 years ago... They all say they're gonna leave and make something of themselves (aren't they all going to be 'Rock Stars'?) but everytime I go back, there they are still. It's desperately sad.
3. Martin Grech. I ache now that I know you went to see him this weekend... Last time I saw him was almost a year ago at the Joiners, and he was So Fucking Shit Hot. The new material sounded incredible (is Robin 'formerly of Rachel Stamp' Guy still drumming for him?) and the old stuff (YES - "Push" is painfully beautiful when you're stood in front of that man) is astounding on the acoustic front. I've been wondering when he'll get his act together and bring out some new material. I miss gigs...
Sorry, this is really long and probably pointless. But keep smiling honey. I miss you. xxx
