Rugby union
Late one today! Doing it after my show. Typing on phone.
Awkward.
I met someone tonight whose friend has the iPod which we began passing round the country well over a year ago. It
is now in Rugby, thanks to sterling work by Rick. It is close to being
handed over to its winner, Anna. Anna are you still
there? Do you even remember that I owe you
an iPod?
Assuming you are and do, this is quite a triumph
of cooperation. The iPod by now will contain a lot of songs and it’s been through the hands of plenty of people I don’t know at all. Pretty ace. I will get a full report shortly on
the latest handover and the final stages of the iPod’s
journey.
I am really enjoying my tour. Thanks to
everyone who’s made this week’s shows considerable fun. I met three blog readers tonight. I’m pleased with life.

I’m glad you’re having fun. I currently hate life. But I imagine that is true of everyone doing exams at the moment. Because they are the last ones it feels a million times more stressful and I think I am going to fail even more than I usually do. I have spent the last few days crying into revision notes.
Well done Simone, that’s amazing. Yay TYSIC

I should have been at the gig last night but instead I spent the evening being told to f off by a 12 year old and trying to protect a boy from being beaten up for being gay. My job is sometimes really shit. (I work in a library – a place of learning and abuse)
Still, I’m glad to hear everything is going so well and that the iPod has almost finished its long journey.
Excellent work Simone! That’s an awful lot of weight to lose and I hope you’re now happy with how you look. Hooray for TYSIC!

I thought you were going to start talking about sport for a moment.
I love those times when you feel happy with what’s happening in your life. It’s a great feeling

Maaaaaark!
You were amazing tonight in Manchester. I was the first in the book signing queue, bamboozled my friend into paying and then alarmed you only slightly (I hope) by telling you my opinion of “Bullet Points” and how I didn’t need to fill in the email list as I read your blog every day
Thanks for a great night. See in Manc soon (LOL!!!!!)

This will probably be the longest comment I write.
So, I was the 3rd person to download a song onto the iPod. During the downloading, pictures were taken and put on the internet. I looked hideous and promptly added “lose weight and keep it off” to my TYSIC. Since that day, I have lost almost 3 stone and I am pretty damn proud of myself. TYSIC FTW.

Conjugating in Latin no less…

Yes! The iPod is here! I’m visiting mumrah in the Midlands which as ever living up to it’s claim to fame – convenient for motorways – was handy for Rick who was passing through from Leeds to Bristol. The handover was happening as my dear friend from high school was telling you it was happening! Splendid. It’ll head to London with me tomorrow to beef up with some choons. So near the end of its journey! Oooh!
PS You should have seen Rick conjugating with my mother!
