In a day or two I will get paid and then (and probably only then - it was a heavy month, I bought a car and travelled from France to England to France to England and things), I am going to but the new PJ Harvey album.

I have read great things and know besides all that media stuff that she is an outstanding artist... I know that it will make me want some real hi fi back though.

Ah, hi fi...
I am going to Guildford at the end of the month and I will be pilling a load of stuff back to my friend's flat (where I am currently staying until I get my own house back). The main items of interest to me being our 'spare' hi fi that has been at Grinding Halt for safe keeping (rather than in our loft like our frying pans, Jock the dog and a Pioneer mini system, or in France where all our Important Stuff still is). I can't wait to have it, even if it is a collection of relics and cast-offs.

Luckily I still had enough money to buy some food.
