The new project

[Dissily Mordentroge]

Thx people - yes, very hard to let them go but you have to make their comfort the first priority. Everything else is secondary. And my vet is first class - Aoife McCormack and her husband Tim are a bloody good team. Been to many vets in my time over the years but these two are the real deal. Both very rare birds indeed. And they honeymooned in SA - so they have taste as well!

Unfortunately my chief sound engineer had to be sent off to the happy hunting grounds yesterday. Her kidneys were packing up and I could not bear to see her in any distress. For fifteen years she put up with constant weird noises and general mayhem in my home studio and never complained. I will miss her presence. She was particularly fond of Brian Eno's - Music for Films. Go figure. Farewell my old friend.

Small world . My Russian Wolf Hound (seen below with cousin ) was very fond of Eno’s ‘Music for Airports’ but hated organ music.

Good God he's a giant!!!

Was. She went to the great kennel in the sky more than a few years ago. They’re an odd breed. Totally civilised indoors but ragingly wild out in the open countryside. The Russians hunted with them on horseback, three dogs at a time on fast release leads. If however the dogs spotted a wolf or some other creature before the hunter released them they’d often pull hunter and horse over. They are often mistaken for a piss-elegant, overbred fashion accessory of a dog. People who acquire them on with that basis soon learn they’ve made a big mistake.
