I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally wanted to come, John, but having been out practising on Monday night, then Mick's on Tuesday night, sales meeting tonight, staff Christmas do tomorrow night, frankly it would have constituted pushing my luck a little too far with Mrs DM to be out last night as well...!

Hope Nikki was on fine form after her journey down. Owing to her busy schedule on her visit this time around, it seems unlikely that I'll get to see her at any point other than in the studio on Monday. :o(
