I went to the Border signing yesterday. Nerina played three songs on her own, then did the signing. I got a few things signed - the new single, then i went to the back of the queue and got my patient single signed. She asked me where i got it - i bought it when it first came out, i said! She was really lovely, and said that she had enjoyed Tuesdays gig. She said that i looked well too, which i'm not sure was entirely true - but there you go. She isn't listening to mid-week listings and she thinks it will jinx things.

I wasn't able to get a copy of War on 7 inch, apparently HMV in town only had 6 copies! They are going on Ebay already.

I met up with a few people from the gig, who wer waiting as early as i was to see Nerina - Peter, Robert and Cathy. They were all really nice, and Robert took a picture of me with Nerina. I hope that he emails it through, as i would love that as my desktop.

It's so hard for my to describe what Nerina means to me. Her music and performances have kept me going through really dark periods, that sometimes the fact that i can go to Borders and hear her play is due entirely to her.

But obviously i'm not going to tell her that, cos that would be quite weird and strange.

What next? Well i'm going to see her in September, which is something to look foward to, particularly since it will be getting close to exam time.

I'm thinking about going to see Bic Runga next week -i liked the samples i heard on her webpage.
