Another fab time meeting Twitter pals, in this case Cathy and her husband Mark (who are also friends and Algarve neighbours of Yin & Phil who I met a couple of weeks ago). Anyhow, this was a flying visit for them but we managed to fit in a penúltima (or three) at my local bar down the street before they headed off for dinner. Since Cathy and I have “known” each other for years it was like meeting up with an old friend. Hope they’ll be back soon.

And don’t even get me started on some of the haunting images that sometimes take all day to shake off. And so I wondered… are happy dreams a myth? Does anyone have happy dreams any more? Did we ever?

Well okay, I know it’s not over quite yet as there are still three August days to come next week… BUT I am booked to start working again Friday next (Sept 2) so this is my final “week off”. And all I can say about that is eeeep! As most of you probably know I shut down my tours early July in an attempt to minimize risk and remain Covid-free. And so far that seems to be working. God knows I couldn’t afford to do this, but there is also no way I want to contract either Covid or MonkeyPox (another huge worry) and so I’ve been keeping my distance. Continue reading

There have been a lot of comparisons made between Morpheus (Dream) in The Sandman and Robert Smith from The Cure (it’s the hair, obvs), but he reminds me more of the lead singer in Gorillaz.
