After a couple of rough years business wise, I've started to visit some of my old contacts in Italy again. A couple of weeks ago I was watching telly in the hotel prior to going out and a political debate show came on. It was a little like Question Time. And what do you think the music was that played over the opening credits? Child In Time by Deep Purple.

How great is that?

Seriously injured in car crash, accoring to 5 Live.

Any news? New I should have signed up to Twitter.

Cooking and music obviously a theme lately. World Party's "Put The Message In The Box" came on tonight - what a great song. Got me wondering about what Karl Wallinger is up to. I know he has been unwell - is he on the mend? It would be nice to get a catch up in The Word on him - a hugely talented man.
