Eels at the Sage, last night, practically on our doorstep. A chilled, relaxed set perfectly suited the venue. While I usually prefer a loud Eels gig, last night’s was one of the best.

And it was nice to have a family kind of evening; it’s something we used to do pretty often, but it’s becoming harder for everyone to be in the same place at the same time. Still, we did manage to make loose arrangements for a follow-up.
