What's new in Heatherland? You may well ask, but if you ask at the promenade, you will usually be greeted with silence. BUT NOT TODAY. Here's a brief synopsis.

• Early April: Got very lovely boyfriend.
• Easter: Went to Sydney to visit an old friend, swam at Bondi, walked in the Blue Mountains, talked her ear off.
• End Of May: Went to Christchurch for a few days, saw bands, met Harvest Bird and her dogs, lounged about. Started keeping a gig journal at the newly revamped NZMusic.com.
• June: Got spoiled on my birthday but missed out on dining at delicious because it's closed on sundays.
• Late June: Started feeling knackered. Workload reduced to a trickle, productivity went out the window.
• July: Still knackered. Insufficient to stop me going to occasional gigs, but sufficient to make most other social contact a trial. Apologies where applicable.
• Late July: Revamped site. Workload perked up, I got more productive. Got a cold, hoping that now I'll stop feeling so knackered. Still have boyfriend. He's still lovely. Trying to catch up with old friends that I've been neglecting.
