Hello world,

Things are quite crazy in our house awaiting the birth of our baby. She is due this week on the full moon.
We have on gig booked in the Czech Republic which is two months away so we are hoping that she will be joining in on the drums/instrument of her choice by then..all is fine and dandy otherwise and we have never been so super excited in the snow and sun week in Berlin.

OTHER NEWS:

Vodafone have chosen us in some kind of Top 20 for free download to your phone/computer. This is for Vodafone customers only.
Even if you already have ’Somewhere Out There’, it would help us if you download it for free from Vodafone too. There is no need to do it more than once though!

There’s two ways to download the tracks. Vodafone customers can click the Live button on their phone and go to "tracks" on the music page. There you can search by artist or title but there’ll also be a direct link to the Bright New Sounds tracks. Secondly, online, you can log on to MyVodafone on vodafone.ie as you would to send webtexts or access e mail and click:
http://vodafone-ie.content.ftmd.sonynetservices.com/IE/en/album/static/020/847/node69_CCIE_LCen_ALBUM20847861.html

The download sign is the arrow pointing down on the right hand side.

There is a recent interview with me up on Cluas.com

nanu nanu,
Nina

Also:
Something to do on a Winter Spring day when you have nothing to do:
Tofu and vegetable pie :
I made a tofu, spinach, mushrrom and brocolli pie yesterday.
So easy.
Made the pastry from 3/4 mug of whitel flour and 3/4 mug of brown
flour.. some butter kneaded in and 3/4 mug of ice cold water, little
salt and pepper.. nice pastry.
Then fried in olive oil(not much oil) leek x 1, garlic(fresh x 2 or 3
cloves), mushrooms, brocolli..chopped quite small, spinach(roughly
chopped..added in some Dijon Mustard(1 or two spoons) green
pesto(enough to add taste depending on how much you want) and a small
tub of creme fraiche.. I then put this in a bowl and added the tofu
chopped up in to ther same pan and added some honey.. .. then I added
this to the vegtables..(you can replace the tofu with
chicken/sausage/anything you want)
I rolled out the pastry and baked the bottom of a dish blind for a few
minutes.. then poured in the vegetables and covered it all with a
layer of pastry..brushed with an egg
Cooked for 30 mins at 200 degrees..
Made some salad and home made chips in the oven to go with it.. Lovely..
