Friday 6 September 2002

Despite never having been there before last week, I was back in East Sussex yesterday after only 36 hours, this time on BBC duty to have lunch with Joanna MacGregor in Brighton (if such a thing can be described as a duty). I only mention this because while walking along the beach from the pier, and not paying enough attention to what I was doing, I perfectly re-enacted Neil Kinnock's famous slip into the water when a big wave came in.  Except that I had bare feet and my trousers rolled up, so I didn't get wet. But then the pier wasn't covered in photographers watching me either. 

When not listening to Adrian's session tapes, I've been firming up the schedule for October's concerts and recordings.
