Writing this with the exuberant and simultaneously hypnotic sounds of Jimi Hedrix in the background – cant believe I missed the history of rock on BBC1 last night....too busy thinking about the melon off I guess?

Hit the street of St Ives today looking for trainers for Brody, came back with a pair of cool converse with sharks on, then went to the Duchy Capri Club meeting at Flambards. The kids cried and it rained despite it being red hot and super sunny everywhere else in Cornwall. Saw a few good cars but couldn’t stay long as everyone was moody and crying – did laugh to myself when I remembered the office insult of the week ‘Gypsy Hole’ although I think this may be substituted this week for ‘Piss Kidney’.
