this week...

1. First I finally spotted Nick Cave wandering around Brighton, with his two kids in tow.

2. Then I received a considerable tax rebate which will temporarily solve my financial problems, and allow me to get tanked up over the holiday season, ending this period of cash-enforced sobriety which is not good for the soul.

3. And yesterday I received the news that, as of January 4th, I finally have a permanent full-time job - as an "E-Marketing Executive" with a publisher of psychology books here in Brighton & Hove.

I am still grinning like an idiot (particularly at the job success), have treated myself to some proper Marlboro instead of rollies, several cans of Stella - and a lottery ticket to see if my roll of good luck continues. :D

I think you're getting my share of good luck at the moment if my life is anything to go by at the moment :(

well, if I win the lottery I'll set up a record company and sign the Sisters - as a pressie to you all.

:eek: Nick's kids - now that is something I wish I'd seen! Were they dressed in rags, all grimy and fierce-looking? Black hair? Covered in rashes as a result of easily-preventable, old-timey diseases? :)

Don't ruin the vision for me, please!

(PS - Statistically you're several times more likely to be hit by a meteorite than to win the lottery.... :twisted: :innocent: )

And I imagine the chance of getting hit by a meteorite and winning the lottery on the same day is still infinitely greater than you signing the Sisters! :lol: :roll:

Unfortunately.

Yes, Nick's kids were feral creatures, wild children of the swamp lands, communicating in growls and gutteral barks, picking lice from each others hair. er... maybe. :lol:

alas, no lottery win - I guess I had my run of good luck. Oh well - I'm happy with the new job.

Yes. It is amazing how many times you can type the words 'updated' and 'edited' and get away with it.
