Over

Well, nearly. I had my viva on Friday. I passed, pending minor corrections. We've also found a flat in Bern, and all sorts of other exciting things, but my brain just wants to rest for a while.

By the way, Spiers and Boden were fantastic.

Spiers & Boden

Very excited; we're seeing Spiers & Boden at our local theatre tonight. This is their first gig since winning best duo in the Radio 2 folk awards, so they should be in high spirits!

A challenge for Tom

Do for the mandolin what this man does for the uke:more weeping guitar.

With added Wilberries goodness

I've never really liked Prince before, but perhaps that's because no-one told me he was an Axe Man. (Apologies to Adam if he can't watch this at work.)

(First video is Prince, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and George Harrison's son Dhani, playing "While my guitar gently weeps".)
