I popped into every music store I passed to find out but didnt find out much.

On the island

even bought a guitar in Victoria so I could busk on the harbour!!

Got hussled by a beggar but the following day I asked for the money I'ld lent!!! him back and he kept clear after that.

on my return I sold the guitar, it had nice action, but I swapped the machine heads over, so I still have a part of it with me, nice they look too, didnt lose money on the deal either. Got the tax back as well.

Last summer in Athens, the daughter became GB's 1st ever woman olynpic weightlifter and last week got a bronze in the European senior womens in the snatch.
