I finally met Ben properly. I've got everyone's signature now. I feel a bit stupid saying that because hunting them down for autographs is so not what it's about for me, but I'm really pleased about this, haha.

Congratulations Highroyds. It's not stupid. I think it's great to have the whole set. I'm surprised, I thought you already had everyone's signatures already. Did you see Ben at the Nordoff Robbins O2 Silver Clef Lunch? I saw that he was there with the rest of the band today.

Did you see Ben at the Nordoff Robbins O2 Silver Clef Lunch? I saw that he was there with the rest of the band today. I got everyone else's ages ago, except Gary's and Ben's because they don't usually come and talk to people after gigs. Maybe more often these days. I met Gary a couple of times since and it was never really the right moment to ask for an autograph, but then I got it last year and he drew me what he called a special trumpet. In my experience Ben tends to sneak onto the bus while Tom and Serge are distracting people. And no, I didn't meet him today, it was in Groningen last weekend. Again he didn't come over initially, but someone asked Chris, and Chris yelled at him to come, so he got back out of the car. Only one person approached him at first so I thought it's a good idea. We've emailed each other before but I had never talked to him in person.

I've got some biscuits. Very nice. Are they homemade? Are you going to eat them?

Not sure how they were made. Not going to eat mine but I have it on good authority that they taste quite nice.

I saw some more posters from the German tour 2014 around recently, but god they're ugly. I always feel like I should get one, because I have one from every German tour I've been to, but I don't think I could bring myself to put it on the wall, to be honest. I love the 2009 one with the Luna Boys picture from the WDATLG video, or the one from the gorgeous Dean Chalkey photoshoot. Even the Velociraptor ones look stylish although it's not my favourite design. The 2014 ones are just tragic. If they were at least pink!

My flag with everyone's signatures is finally framed and ready to hang (my son bought me the frame as a present ). Took me 4 years to get them all, including 2 Ians and 2 Serges (you can't really see one though), a trumpet from Gary, a heart from Tom and a peace symbol from Jay. I'm only missing Chris K.

I love your flag. It's like a history book.

I decided to give my ridiculous collection of plectrums a proper home. They were all in little bags and boxes and because most of them look the same I was worried that soon I wouldn't be able to remember which one was from where. Welcome to my obsessive need to archive. Some of them. This is a coin album, it has 48 slots and is exactly right for my purpose. It wasn't easy to find something that didn't have 250 pages.
