Minotaur Here is the little video I was putting together for what is probably the maddest track on Matt and my forthcoming CD... Filmed with me skimming walls to odd looks in Brighton.

Back to the gym A cheery Monday, working on a small but interesting little job about the support HIV positive teenagers receive in Africa. Also fiddling with the video for the eccentric Minotaur piece from the CD. Went off at lunchtime to meet Peter the carpet man who measured up in the Twitten. And then having done this I slunk to the gym for the first time in weeks. I did rather a gentle workout, but it was a real boost to be there, and pushed back the frontiers of hypochondria. Worked quietly in the afternoon. Lorraine back late and had an early night after we'd guiltily scarfed chips and cold chicken. I watched Hell's Kitchen USA. I have watched several of them now. Gordon Ramsay simply bullies, swears and shouts at a bunch of unfortunate chefs, and then fires one with a disgusted look at the end of the week. That's what I call entertainment.
Recording day The morning of the day I became a recording artist sucked: beautiful sun triggering the release of pollen and other miscreant spores into the air making my throat sore. Then I felt like weeping with frustration as my computer, with its spanking new hard drive, failed again. Managed to start it and restore it to an earlier version (i.e. sometime yesterday) and it has been working since then, but I trust it as far as I can throw it, which will next be out of the window. To St Michael and All Angels for 3:30. Dr Simon Scardanelli our engineer already busy with a nest of wires and microphones. Matt seething as the priests told him that we would have to interrupt our recording for them to say prayers, something which nobody had mentioned until we arrived. This being England, we all had a cup of tea first, and there were quite a few nerves flying around, although there was a very supportive atmosphere. Simon really nice guy, who was veru reassuring to me. Adam and Tom assemblin...
