Date Posted: 15th January 2008<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current mood: quixotic<\/strong><\/p>\n

January and my Birthday approaches. I shall be making efforts to ignore it as much as possible in the vain hope that it will go away, as time seems to be passing very quickly now. I am still up to the usual rubbish. Its a great relief that Alison is eating again and is getting back to a more normal weight though she is still a bit wobbly on her legs, but that’s likely to be the effect of the medication rather than anything else.<\/p>\n

A few Elephant Shelf gigs and some very enthusiastic receptions too.We are now working on our recordings again. Its a little tiring trying to fit it all in but we are getting there I think and we should be able to start selling Cd’s at gigs again at some point in the future. The Shelf is having its 300th gig party at the Salisbury pub on Saturday.We have got guest acts and your all invited. Except You because you have been very naughty<\/p>\n

It amazes me that the band has lasted that long… Still the band that arm wrestles together stays together as they say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
