4th of July and not a flag in sight

I had to a bit of driving around to do today and noticed that there are no proud Americans here in London. Well, none that I could see. I did expect to see a few Stars N Stripes flying somewhere as it is Independence Day. Mind you thinking about it, it would be kind of rubbing the Brits noses in it a bit as it was the British that the USA became indepenedent back in the day. So, they are keeping a low profile. Saw a few of the London papers today and had some of my photos in the from last nigt at the Boogaloo. I went and saw my mate Jon, who yet again on a technical thing saved my life (he is a genuis). I really dont know what I would do without him. I got back over to Chorleywood and saw my mate Mr "I can do that" Mick Flinn in a petrol station. He is always a pleasure to see. He was telling me about the album that he and the band have written and now the recoring is almost complete, so, we should soon have a brilliant new album for The New Seekers. When we were chatting about the music it became apparent that, Mick and the guys wite songs in pretty much the way that today's artists are attemptig to emulate.. Like the genius Mark Ronson etc.. Mick Flinn actually writes that way naturally. Anyway, I cant wait to hear it. Mick invited me upto his palace to hear where they are up to. So, I look forward to that.
I left Mick in the petrol station having an argument with a women who was annoyed with him because he had parked his car slightly on the slant and she was pretty angry.. She looked like she had never been married or ever had a chance a bit of a moose or as I would like to say a FASHTUNKANA.. Dont think it actually means anything, but sounds great..
