I’m fending for myself for a couple of weeks – Clare is off sunning herself in the balmy 21 degree heat of Queensland.

I’ve decided I’m going to shift the guts of my studio into the living room, so I can write and record while I sit in front of the woodheater and watch DVDs. In my most optimistic moments I like to envisage a fortnight of whirlwind creativity, during which time I will write and demo the entire remainder of the next T3E album, as well as lending some more concrete form to my sporadic solo efforts.

Realistically, I’ll probably just fall asleep in front of the fire and wake up to find I’ve melted my laptop computer.

Which could be fun also.
