Sunday 18th March Journal entry brought to you by Tami (with toothache) Hey everyone! Wow. Feels like a really really long time since I’ve written one of these.

I’m sitting here with tears running down my face listening to Eternal, Charles and Eddie, Aqua and Eiffel 65 and all these other artists I’d forgotten existed because Chris who has kindly lent me his laptop to write this journal entry has got the most extensive iTunes library I’ve ever seen.
