El Presidente are sex and rock and roll

El Presidente are El Presidente are sex and rock and roll

Well my mates are doing well eh? This Scottish band are being hailed as the 'Best thing to come out of Scotland since Franz Ferdinand' I love it!

Dante and Jules the singing songwriting team behind El Presidente wrote the title music for 'Smack- The Point of Yes' my play. They are awesome and am hoping they will make the UK top ten next week.

My daughter ashley has decided to get a good digital video camera and wants to make a 'documentry' of this exciting time for me as the book comes out and the play goes to Soho, and performing at Glastonbury, the book launches in Glasgow and London and the book signings.

She did some good camera work last year at the Fringe and interviewed Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Carr, Jenny Eclair and few other big names. It turned out really well and she just wants to keep a memory file of this busiest year.

I got great news...My book will be in my hand on Wednesday, I am so fired up for it but I think it will be emotional, Ashley wants the camera to record the moment when we open the box and actually see the book.

She wants to record all the 'wee incidents' like me getting up during the night to clean ( I know it's a stress thing), me eating and pulling my hair ( why?) me shouting and throwing a strop ( Please?).

So I need to go get a decent camera, Ashley is off to University this year to study film making and screen play writing. I will so miss her.

She will be living in the halls of residence, but she will be surrounded by loads of people who are deeply interested in the same things she is into.

I am going to die without her. She is such a big part of my life, there is not many people in my life that make me laugh as much or 'get me'. We can both be in the street and both our eyes would fall on the same thing and both of us would look and laugh at the same time at the same wee incidental obscure thing. I love her so much and am trying to spend as much time with her before she goes onto this next part of her life.

I know I am being over fussy and over protective and probably will suffer from empty nest syndrome, the good news is I have so much happening this year that I may not miss her so much...or at least thats what I am hoping.

Maybe husband and I can maybe turn into those fat old couples, who have big hand knitted jumpers with their pet cat's face displayed on the front, all knitted in mohair and fluffy. We could take up' Rambling' and have a special flask for our tea and small seats in the back of our car and loads of maps.

Hang on a fucking minute I HAVE A SPECIAL FLASK AND SEATS AND MAPS in my car!

I love going to the stony beaches, walking through Scotland and having tea breaks at the foot of giant Scottish Hills!

Ok I dont have a 'Kintted cat jumper'......

I need to go and laugh with Ashley as Alan Partridge is on and we both scream at it with loud laffs.
