Clear out day - managed to get 3 binbags full of stuff for the charity shop and room is now fit for revision. Shame I haven't done any... Also am getting rid of Darcy. Those of you who knew me at Reading may remember she was my first ever PC. She has served me well, but is nearly 10 years old now. She was once the envy of Wessex! (ok, maybe only for a month, but she WAS!)

Looked through old photos and year books, few trips down memory lane! Nice to do occasionally I guess. Need to get the scanner up and working though - found some fab pics of me as a little one.

It's lovely to be chilling at mum's. Northampton is so much quieter than London. Jerry is still the best company though he is an old boy now. Mum thinks he has kidney trouble and he spends most of the day sleeping. He is still my purry furry kitten though.

Have been mooching through all my old favs at the piano this evening, bit of Bach, bit of Chopin, Maxwell Davies of course, as well as Jay Kay and Morrisette, with a bit of Nyman thrown in. It's nice to catch up with old friends. Really miss my piano when I'm away! Might have to learn the guitar or something a little more portable.
