My Guitars Debut

Wow, what a cool day!

We were in Brest, France. No particularly exciting (in fact I made a round trip on the shuttle bus!) but got a lot acheived today - including a lot of stuff for the website I'm designing (if you wan tto view the thing it's replacing go to www.mistletones.co.uk so you can see the before and after - when it's finished!)but mainly, I finally got the guts up and played and sang in the PAX and Crew talenmt show this evening! I don't think I've shaken so much in years - not very useful when you're about to play on stage! All the show team watching and they said that I didn't seem nervous at all and that it was good - so I consider that a success and a huge compliment! I performed "Strong Enough" by Sheryl Crow - something a little different but I like it.

It's been an interesting week - what with that hurricane on our day at sea and all - apparently it made the news at home! Didn't really affect us until the afternoon when we had to change the show (which was aready set up and rigged) so to change the set Tony had to wear a harness and 4 of us had to hold the ladder an it was still to dangerous to do all of it! - CRAZINESS!

Zoë, Alana, Lesley Ann and Laura have got family on this week which has added a really cool feeling to this rather interesting week! My Dad should be coming to the ship on Wednesday to have a look at what it's all about which will be cool.

Next week we head down to the Med - ah, the joys of Palam, Majorca again! 6 weeks and counting :( / :)

Also on our last day in Flåm I did some chillin' and took a pretty cool photo! Big up to God for the timely Flutterby :)
