I have been quiet for a while.

But I am here..and it's all ok.
Just so you know.

Your messages are like the wheels on my bike..keep me moving..and stop me from falling. Even when I'm riding very slowly..up a very steep hill..

But, I am just popping in to say hello and thank you..and also..that I have one more small but very steep bit of this complicated hill to push up and then I think we may be into some free wheeling..my favourite part.

Here's hoping..so please don't go anywhere..it's just about to get interesting..

You're lovely and I miss you..will be gigging again soon and can't wait.

..in my toes. I have had pins and needles all day and it feels like bubbles having a party.

I am sitting here listening to the latest mix of my second single and I love love love it. It sounds like home. And apple cake. And feels like the hug I've been waiting to feel for a very long time.

I can't wait for you to hear..I'll have to ask Anthony if I can put it up on myspace..

Eva world is very good at the moment. I've been working with a wonderful producer Steve Power who understands the very core of my music..and listens to the rhythm of me..he has grapes in his studio, has very delicious tea and tells rude jokes.

I'm so glad our paths collided..

I am sitting in an internet cafe somewhere in the middle of London..I am a bit confused as to where I am actually..but there is tea and ginger cake in this cafe so I am more than happy.

Yesterday 'Angel' was released into the world and I have received so many lovely messages all telling me how much she is loved. This has given me a permanent smile..and a sense of peace.

Thank you so much for all your support..I feel so proud to have reached you all.

I have received messages from England, France, Sweden, Germany, Japan..Norway, Greece..America..so many corners of the world this little angel has flown to..she must be exhausted.

Thank you for the messages, for telling your friends and for believing in what I do. Small steps we have taken..but we have covered some miles.

What a journey.

I'm in a bit of a daze. This is why I'm lost - I'm sure of it. Nothing to do with my appalling sense of direction.

I am taking a breather from gigging at the moment and am just getting ready for the release of 'Angel' in November..it will be so good to have a song out in the world..taking its own path. I wonder what will happen..

I am loving Autumn so so so much and can't get over the colours. Walking around in London is making me so happy at the moment..I'm being smiled upon. Everything is taking its own course now and I am content that I have done my best.

It feels as though I have thrown all my dreams into the air and they are on their own now. I don't know where they will land.. or if they will land at all. Maybe someone else will catch one and it will become theirs..

I can't believe how many pumpkins I've seen today. They seemed to come out of nowhere..and I was totally unprepared for the overwhelming desire to own one.

I'm excited..

I have a release date for my single 'Angel'..it will be available on the 5th November and I am very happy. I remember the day we recorded this track in Sweden - there are lots of backing vocals on the track so I was in the studio for a long time..but I loved it. It sounds exactly as we had intended..space and light all over it..I have put it up on myspace so have a listen..

Lady c and I are having a lazy day..I have been having lots of late nights recently and need to make sure I'm well rested for next Friday's gig at Cafe de Paris. There seem to be a few nasty bugs flying about and I'm ducking and diving them like an acrobat. Lots of sneezing everywhere all of a sudden..Winter is trying to get in and I keep seeing chilly feet in flipflops. London is in denial.

I am not. I am in the cosiest of socks, drinking hot chocolate and waiting for my cake to be ready..it's in the oven and my flat smells of chocolate. I have no intention of stepping outside into the rain. I'm looking after myself and I need to be warm..

We are rehearsing next Thursday night and am looking forward to it - I haven't seen the guys since our last gig and I miss them. They make me laugh..lots.

Tomorrow I am heading into town to buy all sorts of bits and pieces..guitar strings, oranges, wallpaper..I will be running about for some hours I think..for now, I am going to be gentle and steady..and am going to check on my cake..I'm excited.

I bought new shoes yesterday. I paid for them and put them on and walked out of the shop. They are soft and comfortable and did a very good job of walking me down the high street, through the park and all the way to my cafe where I met little k.

She bought a piece of caramel shortbread and in her effort to break of a piece, she managed to throw the entire shortbread in millions of crumbs across the table. It landed all over a poor unsuspecting gentleman who thankfully liked shortbread. We had a short converstation with him while we tried to redeem ourselves..and then left in a cloud of crumbs and lumps of caramel.

We decided it was a good way of meeting new people and resolved to throw shortbread at strangers more often.

p.s. I'm going to find out my single release date this week..very excited.

Sunday evening and I have made it to the end of the week. Three gigs, one rehearsal, four new songs and 2 sets of IKEA shelves built. Thank you so much for all your lovely messages and comments during the week..I feel very proud to have made contact with you all and your support is consistently overwhelming..

My monday gig at the Coden Club was great. Despite the tube strike lots of people turned out..and some new faces too. Little k and mimbo were grooving in the audience too..made me smile..

Driving to my rehearsal on tuesday was a little touch and go..poor charlie. Old minis don't like tube strikes and traffic jams..charlie has a strong aversion to them both. I played chet baker through my ipod, sang along all the way, had the fan on full blast and the roof back too..but nothing would appease him. He practically had smoke pouring out of his bonnet by the time we arrived.. I'm sure the other cars were laughing at him. I told him to ignore it..I'm sure they're only jealous of his handsome looks..

Wednesday and thursday were the soho gigs and I took taxi rides home. I like very much being in black cabs..driving through busy blinking streets with all the night bustling about me..and in my taxi it is quiet. A bubble world floating down sparkling oxford street..with me inside.

Friday was a busy day of papers and numbers..and saturday was shelf building day. I have a pink polka dot hammer and he did a sterling job. Everybody should have one.

Today is sunday and to celebrate I ate pink candyfloss. It always looks so pretty..but the reality of it consistently lets me down..I'm not sure I will ever learn..

I should be in bed..but I can't sleep just yet. I am thinking about all my gigs for this coming week..order of sets and trying to not worry about whether or not charlie will actually get me there. He was making a funny noise yesterday..or maybe he was just sneezing..

Little k and I sat in a cafe today for a long time reading the papers. Looking at the pictures and avoiding the politics. Just for today..tomorrow I will inform myself of the goings on of the world..but today I needed softer edges. No sharp corners. Sometimes I feel as though the newspapers are shouting at me from their stands. "Read me!" They yell. "Cover to cover, or else you will be ignorant!" I wonder how many people buy newspapers just to play Sudoku.

We sat outside in jumpers..the girl next to us had a cardigan with all the colours of the rainbow knitted into it. Autumn is my favourite season and he is creeping up on me slowly..I'll welcome him in with apple crumble. And custard, if I have any..

When I am travelling I always buy the Evening Standard and do the crossword on the train. It takes up a little piece of my journey when my brain has to think in words. No colours. This week I bought my paper, settled on the train..and while flicking through to my crossword, found that someone had written a review about me and the gig I had done the previous night..they must have decided that that 12 million people might like to read about it. It made me smile..

Today I met a friend I've not seen for years for lunch. We talked and talked. I heard her stories and she heard mine. We followed the threads and sewed it together for ourselves..picking up where we left off 8 years ago..to today in our cafe. Only a few dropped stitches..we made a colourful tapestry. We went strolling and I bought flowers, cheese and jaffacakes before we said goodbye. I continued to walk..I took my feet on a journey with lots of steps around quiet streets..people smiling. Eye contact. The sun has no idea what affect he has. I had a quiet word..

On thursday night we rehearsed for our Dean Street gigs in September. I was in a studio between Yoko and Bernie Mac..eva katzler sandwich. Expensive.

I am home from Greece..no more tzatziki.

London has taken me back in and didn't even ask me for a present..

The sun didn't come home with me in my suitcase..but I think he may drop in over the weekend..it is a little gloomy outside, but inside me there are bubbles. My single is finished and I feel as though my tummy is on a rollercoaster. Sometimes it's a lovely feeling..and sometimes I feel a little unwell..but mostly I feel like I've just jumped off a cloud..wondering where I'm going to land..

I want to press pause. Intermission.

I am meeting my gorgeous mum tomorrow for brunch at my favourite cafe. I will meet her, two of my cousins and my aunt too..we will all drink tea and eat too much food..and talk. I like days like this. Little miss brown is getting married tomorrow afternoon to the man she loves and I will be there dancing for as long as my feet will allow. I noticed a new freckle on my toe today..I've never seen him before..I'm looking forward to taking him out dancing.

Lady c is in Sardinia and Little k is somewhere near covent garden..we were eating pickles at midnight last night while I wrote my set for monday night..I am pleased to be home..
