Tea, Teething, Teetering
Published by steve j June 25th, 2006 in generalTea
Just drinking a cup now. Had a cup of milky nonsense at our friends Jo & Laurence’s place. Laurence doesn’t drink much tea… he serves a fine cold beer, mind you. They’ve just had a lovely wee girl - it was strange holding a tiny baby in my arms, as Luka is now a powerhouse who spent most of our visit trying to eat Laurence’s copy of “Infidels” by Bob Dylan. It was great listening to that old record when we were there - memories galore, especially one of my favourite Dylan songs of that era - “License to Kill”. Luka failed to eat the record.
Teething
Poor Luka - squealing like a stuck pig in agonising pain as his top teeth pop through. Foy Vance recorded a blues number for him yesterday, which just about sums it up. Foy also played a new song of his, which has no title, but is so spellbindlngly simple and beautiful I wasn’t sure whether to laugh, cry or throw up. AWESOME!! The guy is scary… just a melody machine, dripping with soul and beautiful music. Teething must be limited in the fun stakes… I can’t quite remember.
Teetering
England have just beaten Ecuador. Actually it was like watching Little Upton Special School 2nd XI play Ecuador. I can’t believe they won - they were a bag of balls. Still, that means the flags will stay up and Chris Moyles remains more comfortably far away from me than usual, at least for the time being. Is it just me or is Radio One just unbearable? If someone can tell me a good radio station to tune into in London, I will be most grateful.
Glad England Won - altho we didnt do much for most of the match. Beckham deserved his goal tho.
I’m not a fan of chris moyles. I actually hate the man. Radio One has gone down hill a bit.
hmmmm sorry to say that but england was very lucky to win the game ;-) they must play much better against portugal…..
Glad Luka failed to eat the Bob Dylan record………….I agree its a great song!
I know I said that before but it´s so great that you´re back Steve!!!!!!
Wow, you’re spoiling us with all these posts Steve :-)
Sitting here with mixed feelings right now… It’s over for us and the World Cup dream…but I’d rather have Holland play bad (like England) but still win…than the guerilla war it was tonight and then lose the game.
Oh well, on the positive side it means the ‘orange craziness’ in Amsterdam will probably be over.
Bless Foy for recording a blues song about Luka’s teeth coming through. I can’t wait for Foy’s new EP to come out. Foy is a great musician, he’s fantastic live, and a total sweetheart for taking out the time to talk to me for a bit after his gig.
Good luck to England for their next match.
Haven’t been able to get enthusiastic about the World Cup at all - probably because Ireland didn’t qualify! I was pleased that Beckham scored that, it was a good goal in an otherwise boring match.
I’ve never liked Radio 1. I usually listen to Magic (105.4 fm), mostly because they play Ronan quite often, though!
