Looking after my little nephew, cartwheeling (and now the splits, not the Banana ones), writing my lil' socks off, shouting at the TV, The 60s, red wine as it gets me err creative haha, daydreaming, playing Lucy Sweet's melodica, drinking tea with honey, making lists of nonsense, music, gigs, playing pool at The Scotia (oh yesss), music, music, gigs, don henley, photography, conversations of the arguing/discussion/arguing nature with anyone who's game, organising events, travelling, being cheeky, DJing (vinyl and cd), rummaging around charity shops for vinyl and handbag treasures, cooking (no Delia just yet), being a powerhouse of thoughts and ideas, reading rock biogs and the finer literature, chatting like a maniac and moving my feet to the beat at all opportunities.
