short on sleep

i worked last night instead of tonight and by chance my dad is watching the cricket today so me & felicity are meeting him for dinner tonight... i forgot to remind dinah to record heroes for me last night, and i wonder if she did it anyway?...

2 nights ago i slept badly, worked all day yesterday and then gigged in the evening...

i was pretty fragile by the 2nd set but then i played the opening to gymnopedie no.1 (i can only play the opening so far, but then that's the bit everyone knows - dinah knows it as bom ching... bom ching... from the amount of times i've called it that but claims not to actually know what it is...) and i heard a voice behind me say... oh how lovely - i must get a piano... and as i improvised over those 2 chords (with the leaping left hand) the room gradually quietened and i think i'm right in saying i brought a hushed silence to the room (just for a moment)...

not that anyone clapped or anything, that's not what you get in this kind of gig, i've had it once in the 8 gigs i've done there... after my last tune - which generally is april in paris at the moment...

anyway this revived me and i felt a little less like i was being eaten by flesh eating beetles...

i came home and foolishly fell into watching TV with dinah gradually curling up and sleeping on my shoulder, in the middle of the night i saw that the skulls was just over an hour in and i'd been vaguely wanting to see it for a little while, so i found ITV2 + 1, and watched it, and it was pretty good, it's got that guy from CSI in it as a senator...

then immediately after that the larry sanders show was on over on ITV4 so i couldn't not watch it... it was fantastic...

crept into bed around 3:30... was up @ 8 for the dawn project...

so still very short on sleep...

think i'm going to skip over to a mossbros in muswell hill to book my suit for trave & clementine's wedding...

slow but nice day...
