Day off to recover from my cold.
Finally I have some time to sit and try to shake off this incessant cough - it's almost gone now . . . really annoying. Doing a concert every night and having to stifle my uncontrollable urge to cough and splutter through all the quiet sections (which I can tell you there are quite a lot of!). Jack Jones isn't the easiest man to work for, he knows exactly what he wants, but we've got it together now and all the guys from the US are friendly. Enjoying the MD Jeff's playing on the duo tunes, very tasteful.
Belfast tomorrow, then Glasgow then moving down south for the remainder - shame we have to drive really, the yanks get a tour bus. Oh well, maybe I'll rise to that level one day :-)
Putting my birthday on hold this year! Probably for the best - I can't say that I'm enamoured by the thought of this year's approaching age.

Went to this very nice Vietnamese place last night
Bistro Saigon in Ilkley.
Very impressed - try the Thai squid for starter, best I've had.

Google voice search for Nokias :-)
This app actually works as well! I thought this was way too good to be true - voice recognition search, yeah right! But it's really good on my first few trials. As it also has location recognition from the on-board GPS it will even give you the most relevant local results. Searches for 'fish and chip takeaway' brought up the takeaway down the road top of the list, 'Vietnamese restaurant Ilkley' brought the place I was eating at tonight (the location of which I didn't know, and so promtly clicked the link to open in my mobile Google Maps app). Even a search for Thai restaurant didn't create any confusion with Gentleman's tailors, mixing up the word 'tie'. You can set the accent to US, UK and Australian amongst a few others - UK worked just fine for me. This comes at the same time as Google's navigation app for their Android OS which also features voice recognition. I did away with pen and paper a long time ago, is it soon time to do away with typing??!
