8 october 1999

A slack day. Nursing hangovers & generally tired from the previous nights celebrations. Nigel wants to do a bit of editing on 'Optimistic' – thinks we have a better ending on one of the other versions. Do a 'head count' on songs in their current status. It's pretty encouraging as there are about 5 or 6 which could be finished fairly quickly. But of course we don't want to do that yet – that would be far too pragmatic. Thom and Nigel download a loop of Thom's onto tape to be added to it. As I write he is attempting some vocals. A weekend is nearly here – good timing. Completely knackered.
