Went to see Jennifer Batten on Friday, at the Inn at Lathones, great wee set up they have there, you can stay in the Inn and walk the 10 yards to the gig.  Admittedly it was 10 yards through the wind and snow, but that just made it all the nicer to arrive. Word of warning,  leave plenty room in your tummy for breakfast.

Shame we had to be up so early and leave, but the car had to have a thing done to its plenum chamber at 10 a.m. in Dunfy.  VW were paying, so we sat inside drinking free tea and coffee, reading free papers and were then handed back a sorted car which had also been vacuumed and washed!!  So props to the guys at Specialist Cars, Halbeath.  Hope your hoover is still working, cos that footwell was toting a fair amount of dirt, glaur and mank.

Next, over to Edinburgh to see The Beauty Queen of Leenane at the Lyceum.   A very good play, well acted, just wish they could have spoken up a bit.  I think the set might have dampened some of the acoustics.
