I haven't heard anything recently- and I have an extra ticket for the Keswick show I need to get rid of. For those of you who read my saga- the latest is that I'm probably returning to the UK next week- my mum will be operated on soon. The good news is that my 10 year old niece is spending as much time with me as possible before I go (you know, the girl bonding thing!), and has become quite a Moxy Fruvous fan in the process- she's renamed them: Schnozz (Jian, 'cos he had a slightly bigger nose than the others!); Dan/baldy (she keps tripping over Dave); Alan (Murray looks like the identical twin of my nephews 15 yr old best pal); and sunny (in the current pic I have of Mike he's wearing sunglasses). She likes their nicknames, and could possibly be a longterm convert. She also likes lying on my bed with me & singing along. I've promised her that one day I'll come back and take her to a show .
