Back home across the deep blue sea ...

KO and I have returned from Toronto a bit the worse for wear: sniffly, run down, tired, bleary-eyed. That was four days ago.

Here is a photo of me and the boy at the reception. The dress was a last minute buy. My sis-in-law-to-be and I were shopping at BCBG and it caught my attention. I tried it on and thought, "I love this dress. I'm going to buy it and wear it to the wedding." In hindsight, I think the BCBG dressing room mirrors are doctored to somehow give a more flattering reflection. It's a nice enough dress, but not as gorgeous as I thought when I tried it on.

Home was in utter chaos when we arrived. There was a mouldy apple on the living room rug. And three weeks away had taken its toll on my bank balance which is heavily reliant on daily deposits from ebay sales (which were frozen while I was in Canada). So I did what any sensible person would do. I took all the remaining funds available to me (in my overdraft) and invested it in the stock exchange (Norilsk Nickel shares). There's a corporate buy back offer on the shares which I'm hoping to take up next week. I hope it works.

So my (rather large) overdraft is maxed out, my ebay business is slowly starting to move again, home is still in a state of disarray, and I'm still sick.

On the bright side, I went to the Leeds Community Clothing Exchange today with a few lovely friends and quite a large group of strangers whom my lovely friends invited. I picked up some incredibly funky new dresses for almost free (it's £2 entry) and got rid of some clothing I didn't want.

Other than that, as my friend Daniel might say, "Nothing else to report." Except for a video interview coming soon on the Cantos Music Foundation blog. It's going live in just over a week, yay! I think this is officially the first bit of media feedback/coverage on Prime, so far!!

Yes.

Prime.

Out 5th December 2011.
