9 November 1999
It's been a little while... I half-wrote a post about how exciting it is that my speedometer is working again, even if it is a little overshadowed by the generally decrepit state of my car and the large amounts of work that need to be done before I can even dream of getting a WOF, which is due very soon.
I was going to post this photo of some things on my desk at work. That seemed like a great idea, but not today, and now not ever, so go on and take a look at a little piece of my work life. Now that it's November 9, for another five minutes anyway, I will say a word or two about my day. Work is pretty busy at the moment - in a good way.
This evening I went to see Anika Moa at Tabac. I'd never been to a show at Tabac before. It was lovely. The crowd were very nice and mostly everyone was attentive. Anika plays requests and she did 'What's Up' by 4 Non Blondes - everyone sang along - it was great. I asked for Jimi Hendrix 'Little Wing' and she did play the intro, and that was very cool to hear.
There was a song which I think is called 'Mother' from the album Thinking Room, and I cried. Just a little bit. It's seven years today since my mum died. I looked at the ceiling and I looked at the blurry floor and I listened to the words and was glad to have that very real moment to think and remember my mum.
Funny weather today, huh.

Hey! Anika did the 4 non blondes cover over here too. it was awesome. it's like she has a little mole in the audience who yells it out when she takes requests so it looks spontaneous, cos it really is brill innit??? (that's me mocking some people - innit?).
I'm sorry about your mum, Jessie.
This was a touching, touching post. I guess in my mind's eye, you were a wee kid when you lost your mum.
I was 19. So.. not so wee, but then, not so big.
so sorry about your mum, it is nice when good music actually touches something in you and makes you remember a wonderfull person.
Sounds like you have a great dad looking after you x
