A good night out

K and I were out gigging again last night, over at Shepherds Bush to see The Jesus and Mary Chain. And they were a good couple of notches better than when we saw them just over a year ago - they hadn't long been back together after a lengthy hiatus last time, and the gigs they've played in between seem to have taken them back close to their best. The only slight disappointment from my perspective was that they didn't play my 'personal national anthem', Never Understand, this time around, although there was plenty of early stuff, including The Living End, a clear number two in my J & M C 'hit parade'. There was a little bit of last-minute doubt around the outing, because K has come back from uni for the Easter break in none too wonderful health - she's had a chest infection, with symptoms along the lines of those that put me in hospital in 2013, albeit not as severe, hitherto - but she declared herself fit to go, and enjoyed the evening almost as much as I did. She's been pretty much out of circulation today, though, feeling tired and not up to much, which is a shame, given that I've been off work and that the weather has been almost summery, sunny and very pleasantly warm. Still, her well-being comes first, of course, and we should have a few more chances for some quality time together before she heads off to spend Easter weekend with her mum.

Love & best wishes to all
