Ninoskika return to Cornwall...

...Details of 'Captain' to follow.....

January for slkl...

I'd give 2009 a 7/10 so far, which is pretty good going I suppose.

I'm in Norwich now, which is really great actually, a bit like a Truro-sized version of Falmouth; cobbled streets swarming with scarf wearing-bike riding-art students, the upper middle classes frequenting more delis than you can shake a freshly cooked, locally sourced organic french stick at...and plenty of young beardy folkies, which is comforting, and worrying, just like starting over.

Myself and Charlotte returned to the old country for much hugging/drinking/catching up which was amazingly relaxing, like returning home.

We also got some recording done...

Really productive in the end, and a lot of fun, philip put himself out for us again, and got ill in the process, so big thanks to him, you'll get what's coming to you, you lovely german man.

We're getting there slowly....

So we returned to Norwich to search for a place to live...cue weeks of stress and worry and deciding to pack it all in and live in a hole in the ground or something, then this place turned up:

..which i'll talk about another time.

Samuel Leonard Keith Leonard's build up to Christmas has consisted of the following:

-Convincing people that £150 is a reasonable amount to spend on a pair of jeans (whilst secretly advising them that if they wait four days, they will be an even more reasonable £85).

-Conquering my fear of going upstairs on buses in Birmingham, i've discovered that while there may be an increased risk of being mugged, the conversations you over-hear are a lot more interesting.

-Looking for a new guitar on Ebay, this will be my Christmas present from Lottie and the Parents.

-Getting excited about possibly getting a new job that is as wonderful as my last one.

-Watching the Arcade Fire's new DVD: Miroir Noir in two minute portions because my computer is a dick head.

-And finally....writing new songs! Hooooray! Two new ones to be specific, they are both about twelve minutes long at the moment, with about 8 verses (after I read this) so they should see the light of day in about a year.
