Had a bit of a horrible day yesterday - learned in the morning that a friend and colleague is seriously ill, which was quite upsetting, and then at lunchtime found myself first on the scene at an incident at work where somebody had cut their calf muscle so badly that it had opened up the way a sausage splits if you don't prick it before putting it on the barbeque, which was pretty grim. Left me a bit disturbed for the rest of the day, kept getting shuddery flashbacks of this gaping wound, found myself unwilling to cook sausages for my tea when I got in. Goodness knows how ambulance crews and firemen cope seeing much worse stuff than that every day.
Today started much better, my copy of the new Joanna Newsom album arrived, I'm partway through my first listen as I type - first impressions are that it's going to take a bit of getting into, it's only five tracks long, but the shortest of these is 7 minutes and 17 seconds long! But I also get the feeling that perseverance with it will reap wonderful rewards.
Must go now, have to meet Caz.
