All entrances delivered courtesy winter

Walked through the cold winter night across Tower Bridge with my sister and niece for dinner at Wagamama with T-Lo and Dr Love. While we were talking after dessert, my niece, who's four years old, wandered off to find the waitress and order more ice cream for herself. The kid will go far.

Hello 2009 Goodbye 2008

First show of 2009 kicked off the new year in style with Michael's round up of the cream of the sessions from 2008: Debbie Leggo being his choice for session of the year. James III and the Bi-taliban (complete with Burkah) and BC played excellent live sets, setting a suitably high bar for 2009. Good to see BC using a Korg MS10: a truly classic analogue synth.

Nappy you here

Managed to get through the festive season without having to rush to St Thomas's and saw in the New Year over chestnut soup at Beho. We're now on full labour alert.
