Aw… Thanks guys 
That’s more birthday wishes than I received in real life!
This Billy-no-mates is a sad soul, living out his fantasy life online with imaginary buddies…
(I suppose I deserve all the above ‘teasing’ as I do dole it out liberally 
)
I had completely forgotten Domi’s domicile is Berlin-based ( - obviously pathetically practicing assinine alliterations. I’ll get my coat 
).
Sounds like a great idea. Let’s exchange phone numbers by msg and see if we can align the stars). No point in trying to force it if it doesn’t suit either of us for whatever reason, but if you don’t keep your eyes peeled for opportunities, they just sail by…
I should be in town from the 7th-10th March

It was busy musically last week 
I had an unexpected bed and breakfast guest stay Mon-Friday. Becky Jones , who records as Saint Saviour , was recording her next album in Bill Ryder Jones’ (ex The Coral) studio in West Kirby. She became ‘well-known’ as a singer/songwriter with Groove Armada back in the day and although her Spotify numbers are in the millions, I admit to never having listened to any of her music. Still, I was my usual star-struck self and did my Spanish Inquisition routine over breakfasts and dinners. She is a lovely person.
I even looked up the chords and lyrics for her most famous song and will have a bash at that some time (although it does involve picked arpeggios. Sigh…)
I had a good time at our Friday night open mic in West Kirby, then the songwriting workshop with the Igloo Hearts in Chester on Saturday and our JG open mic on Saturday night (where I played the same two songs)
All the while, I was trying to herd cats and finish off the latest Lego Lads project, which you can view here if you like.
Tomorrow is a ‘rest day’ as it’s Geraldine’s 60th birthday and we’re hoping to go tramping around the slushy Welsh hills for the day.

Fun musical weekend-
I played a couple of songs at the local open mic in West Kirby
On Sat morning I visited John Lennon’s and Paul McCartneys childhood homes in Liverpool.
I strummed some guitar in Paul’s living room and also played and sang When I’m 64 on the same piano the youngster composed it on 
(well, one line of it with one finger )
To round it off, I helped organise a Ceilidh on Saturday night in our local church hall and met a friend of Nigel Blackwell from the superb Half Man Half Biscuit. I’m a proud possessor of their Achtung Bono! T-shirt and Joy Division Oven Gloves
