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..
