It's been a week for bumping into people unexpectedly. My favourite was on Monday when as I emerged from Haymarket station in Edinburgh, Bob Deegan was wheeling his bike towards me. What were the chances of that? 

I'm now starting to approach (from a respectful distance to begin with) a mountain of songs and mp3s from Suzie LeBlanc, in preparation for our recording in a few weeks' time. I like working from field recordings, even if the temptation to make the joke 'and how long have you been working in this field, professor?' never goes away. You need sheep sound effects for it to work really.

The appreciation of Katherine I wrote for today's Scotsman is here.
