All bright and shiny like they'd just arrived from Mars

Finally my 1Gb memory card arrived! Had my latest sample from Fish - I love having radio connections!

Getting more and more serious about moving closer to work. I never thought I'd like that town as much as I do. It doesn't have much going for it other than the character but it's sort of appealing. I can't describe it - you just have to see it to understand. Some really cool people on my team too - and Julie is the best! Gareth is a good trainer and all the guys are easy to get on with. Got some kind of affinity with Evan, maybe that's because he's near my age (I'm the oldest on the team) and is well spoken. Yeah, I like them all really. My qualifications could take me a lot further than this but I'm happy - no real need to move. I'm now earning a lot more than I've ever done (about £4000 pa more than ntl).

Spent a load of wonga on decent clobber today. Looking mighty fine if I say so myself. I need to get more Channel Allure Sport aftershave (been wearing it for the last 3 months) but the last lot I bought was only £12 from Ebay and I'm finding it hard to want to spend any more than that, but I can't find it at that price anywhere. My current favourite is David Beckham, followed by Hugo Boss Sport Motion (the one which comes in a silver ball) and CK Eternity.

Got a show tomorrow then I'm off to Blumer's house in the evening to do some production work on his demo. I can't believe him. In the space of about a year he's gone from renting a tiny flat to being almost married to a fabulous woman. I don't begrudge him in any way - in fact it couldn't have happened to nicer bloke. But the transformation is amazing.
