    today is new shoes day. Finally decided that my old summer walking shoes were requiring of retirement (well, they are 10 years old now) as last walk out I could feel every stone on Dartmoor through the soles, so I treated myself to these:

    merrel moab ventilator. Weather permitting, shall give Dartmoor a bit of a bashing in these on the morrow.

    I like Merrell.

    Never had a bad pair.  Last for years.  Wonderfully comfortable.

    never had a pair of merrels but they look and feel alright. Last pair were TNF, that got slated by the gear junky at Trail, but I liked mine. They're gonna go into honourable retirement as pub shoes.

    And I've just found out Alex Lifeson shares his birthday with me.

    I met a fella today in the course of my work who's 81 years old and turns out was a jazz musician in his day.  As I worked we were chatting and throwing gig and music stories back and forth and it was great... basically musicians and punters haven't changed much... wonderful banter about sex, drugs, rock n roll, jazz, bloody drummers, annoying punters, and nicking thousands of cigarettes from a US air base (that was his).

    As I left he was asking how the gigs were lined up, I say we're busy (touchwood), and he says, "That's it, keep playing baby!"

    Coolest dude in a long time :)

    I believe they did a song about being on the wireless, entitled "the Spirit of Radio", it's quite an upbeat little number. I think you might enjoy it sir.

    I've just accepted a job offer and resigned from my present job, always find resigning strangely liberating. New package is a good 50% increase. Well pleased.
