Today has been a good day.

You know those days when everything's shit? You stub your toe on the door, the heating's packed in and it's freezing, you're out of milk and the shop is still shut and there's no bog roll? And it's still only 7.30am?

Today has not been one of those days. Today has almost made me ashamed to hate the human race. First up our mate Ryan has helped us out shedloads by doing the printing on 300 CDs for this tour we're doing. He's stayed up late and pulled out all the stops, and they look great. And... get this... it's his birthday today. Thank you Ryan.

Steve Kind has also, for nothing, helped out with the printing for the last few sleeves. Sally helped do the rest over the weekend. Cheers guy and gal.

Through one thing and another, I needed a roof box thing urgently for the tour, and only found out yesterday night. Cue much texting and asking round. Ben at Beej Guitar Repairs offering his help fixing some bars on, Dave at Rockshack offering to lend us his roof box... which he's lent to Scottish out of Phluid, who has said he doesn't need it for the next couple of weeks. This ensures that you guys get a show over the next few weeks from us and of course Ginger, and means the guys get a vague amount of comfort in my car (I'm driving, you see).

And if that wasn't all, my mate Andy offered me the use of his box thing for nothing over the next few weeks.

Sorry, this is all pretty boring, but I wanted to thank those who deserve it. It's hard work being in a band sometimes and you guys make it easier. For this, we salute you.
