Monday morning and I suppose some more congrats are in order. What a final yesterday at Wimbledon! Talk about a great way to kill five hours on a Sunday; watching some tremendous talent on Centre Court. I must also send some love out to Daniel Nestor, our lone world class, Canadian player who won the doubles title, and also to the British girl who won the junior title…
Its funny, but can you believe that I’ve had a couple of people write me concerning the fact I love to talk about sports and I play music. Both letters were from the assumption that as a musician, I shouldn’t be so into sports. For real?! Not that this is any reason for my love and knowledge of both, but if you really think about it, no person would ever feel lost at a party if they had a grip on both subjects. Pretty much anybody you meet either knows one or the other. The fact is, nothing is better than when I find someone who will talk about both. Makes my day…
So where are we right now? Oh yes, well Saturday I made my first venture out of Purley. B and I took Tom to see The Natural History Museum in London. Like all the 10 year olds there, he wanted to see the dinosaurs. But like I said, it was a Saturday and all the 10 year olds were there. The place packs up as everyone stops at the end for the big photo op’ with T-Rex himself… The prehistoric beast, not Marc Bolan. I can’t believe more people don’t freak out in that cue. Its hot as hell and extremely claustrophobic.
Afterwards we enjoyed a couple of pints on a Soho patio and then headed back to home base where we ate some BBQ and continued with the beverages.
Sunday was pretty much the same ol’. It finally rained more than a little. Still not a full day of rain (not that I’m complaining), but more than we’ve been used to here. I’ve got to say, the weather has been remarkable. I’ve touched upon it a couple of times already, but there has not been a day, written off by rain, so far. And the days that have rained, have been equally sunny… Can’t complain with 50/50…
Today (Monday) has been the rainiest though. Still not consistent all day, but it came down in loads several times. Perfect for a day of mixing though, which is what we continued today. Its two days until T2’s birthday which doubles as the day he leaves. We’re hoping to get the initial mix out of the way by then, but we’ll see I suppose.
Being Tom’s birthday week, we also took a trip to Tesco today and loaded up for (well the next 2 days for now). We’ve discovered the “All New” Red Bull Cola. This meant an immediate whiskey purchase and we’ll see what kind of mess that leads to. Whiskey Bombs?!? I’ll report back tomorrow!!
