Am I, I have to ask, standing on the very edge of superstardom? Such has been the enthusiasm with which my song of yesterday has been greeted that I am almost tenmpted to try and find a nice music agent who may, just possibly, think similarly. I know, I know; that sounds very egocentric, but if you'd played - and sung - something that received comments like,

'Sir, did you really write that?'

'Sir, please can I have a CD of that song?'

'Sir, I can't believe you wrote that: I'd put that on my Ipod straight away'

'Paul, I just love that melody: please can you do it again?'

wouldn't you?

I've honestly been amazed, because, when all's said and done, it's really just a song. Still, people seem to like it, so who knows?

And talking of songs, we had one of those 'let's get round the piano' evenings tonight, while the others have been at the league feast, and we've simply been enjoying a bit of music together. It culminated with the 'Silent Reading Song', about which, no doubt, your offspring will tell you all. There's talk of it going on to YouTube, as I do have a YT account, but we shall see about that .... !

Honestly, I can't believe that we've made up a silent reading song .... ! It must be very, very near the end of term.

Oh boy.

Goodnight.
