It's worth saying, in a post all its own, that I was chuffed by the number of people who came to the gig I did on Tuesday night. I was slightly concerned that they'd not enjoy the rest of the night, or that things might go a bit odd-shaped, like they did at the "farewell gig" I did before leaving the city, but my fears were unjustified. People came, drank, laughed and were merry. It was a pleasure to look around the group and marvel at the good people who will turn out when I'm parading my ego about the place.

I am forging a life for myself down here in soft-southerners-land, but I do miss the people back up North.
