It’s 8.46 on a Saturday morning, I’ve just made a cup of coffee (massive fan of nespresso – they should totally sponsor me. I’d get so much done!) and have Breakfast at Tiffany’s on pause. Holly makes such sense to me – but then I guess she must make sense to all women, otherwise it wouldn’t be such a classic film. Am so proud that I actually figured out how to plug my DVD player into the TV (and we’re not talking SCART cables here people, we’re talking the red, yellow and white chord/figuring out which channel it comes through variety). The guy at the shop made it sound like rocket science.

And I’m in love with my new house. I sleep so well here.

We leave for Germany at 5am on Monday morning – I can’t wait! I’ve never been to Germany, but a lot of my http://www.CDbaby.com sales come from there and it’s always cool to go where you’re wanted : ) I’m going to try to put together some video footage of the trip as my camera has a video function I’ve yet to master...will keep you updated as I think my youtube account has been dormant for a good three years now. Anyway, it’s going to be a heap of driving, a show every night and hopefully, Ocean is going to teach me to play poker. Then I’m going to go to Vegas and make my fortune. I think I'd have a brilliant Poker face. Still, I'm not the best liar, so maybe I'll stick to writing songs.

So the first show is in Krefeld on Monday night. Then it’s Hamburg, Nürnberg, Berlin, Döbeln and Dresden...I’ve been told they have fantastic chocolate in Germany! Which is awesome...am just hoping they also serve salad at the odd place.

Anyway, if you make it down to a show, please come and say “hi”. I’ve got some little promo badges made up for the tour and I’d love to give you one. Will also have my new album with me. It’s available on my website at http://www.pippadrysdale.com (if you’d like a signed copy) or digitally through http://www.cdbaby.com/pippadrysdale.

It also looks as though I’ll be heading over to the States early next year. I’ve been offered a showcase in Memphis in February and a show in Nashville the week after – so I think I might turn it into a mini tour. But will let you know more about that closer to the time...

And I'm completely obsessed by Bellinis (the cocktail - as long as they use peach puree - although I'm pretty sure there's a minature pancake by the same name that I quite like too).

Anyway, will write again when I get back from Germany!
