Il Neige

We had some snow this morning. I'd stayed over at the Clark household last night, and so experienced the picturesque sight of the fields surrounding Alresford covered in snow, as Naomi drove us to work.

The day became slightly less pleasant when I pulled my back mid-morning. I was only walking up the stairs after a meeting at a normal pace, but something suddenly twinged. It hasn't even gone away despite two Solpadeine Max (that were handily in my coat pocket), and the pain is now moving simultaneously up and down my spine. I guess this means I won't be going to tango class tomorrow night. Yes, you read that correctly. Naomi and I went to this for the first time last Thursday and it was quite good fun. It takes place in a room over Savannah (or 'Savannah's', as people tend to call it, much as they refer to 'Tesco's'). I think you could say I enjoyed it despite myself, and Naomi certainly had a good time too.

I spent the weekend with the other Actions in Oxford, recording a new song for our split 7" and tour with Psyche Out. I think it sounds pretty good, and it's certainly an interesting piece of music for us to do compared with what we've written over the last few months. It's in a much straighter punk/emo style than the more dancing, whimsical stuff we've been writing recently, and should be fun to play live. Reminds me a bit of Small Brown Bike actually, though we have got quite a gently sing-songy part to it too.

Will write more again soon.
