I'm working unexpectedly late tonight: having dug out the soundboard recording of our gig last year with the Tiger Lillies, I'm now doing a quick premaster job on it to make it presentable enough to send to a German agent.

The set of guitar strings I bought at the tea break on Tuesday night will have to wait. I couldn't help gloating that I could buy a set of strings for £5.50 - a set for Alison's cello is about £140.
