Right then...I've begun the 3rd album (the follow-up to 'Speak For Yourself'). I'm going to write a more frequent blog as I did with the last one so you can keep an eye on me and make sure I'm not slacking! I wonder how it's gonna turn out? How exciting! You're very welcome to comment but please don't ask me questions on here or i'll never get any work done. You can email me with any questions you have and every month we'll pick 20 from the virtual 'hat' and post them. Send your questions to: [email protected]

Much much more to come! Love, fluv x i x Wheeeeee!!!

Goooooooooooodness. Dial up....ugh. Once you've tasted the speed of broadband you just can't go back. one hour just to get to this stage of writing the blog. brrrrr.

Anywayz...I am listening to a cat coughing up a furball in my dad's living room right now, now he/ she of the cat variety is sneezing. cutie. There are almost a zillion (that is another word for four, right?) cats here at my dad's. I am alone in this house where we all grew up. Same old squeeky floorboards and the grandfather clock, still going. The coutryside is silent apart from the wind knocking at the windows and the odd motorbike racing round the lanes at silly mile an hour.

Dad's up North for the weekend so I thought I'd take my chance, come down here armed with some mics, a little mixer and my laptop. I'm going to record the piano that lives here too. The one I grew up playing. It's suffered a bit over the years and is getting a touch arthrytic. Siezing up. It needs to be played (hint, dad)...I've come to warm it up again. It's a grand Steinway. A few of the ivories have come loose and the action's not too great but I still love it more than any other on the planet. We go a looooooong way back. It even has my name "engraved" on it. I was slightly younger than I am now. It was midnight. It was a biro. A blue one. Three times on the lid, just to be sure everyone knew it was mine... i wasn't too popular in the Heap household after that. It's the piano I recorded "Sleep" on for i megaphone.

Good to be here. Will try and get a minute or so of me improvising something for you tomorrow and pop it up here. May not get it up 'til Monday though.

Love to you all xxx
Good to get back to your roots every now and then.

Heap, out
