I keep looking at that little banner and it makes me think of the colour I went when I was young and holding my breath to be naughty.

I don't know if she is your taste or not, but I really like her, I heard her and had to buy the cd there and then. She's french and I speak none, but there is something so lovely about her voice.Originally posted by Cliphead View PostI haven't heard of Carla Bruni, I'll check her out.

China is because bf has conference and I get to be a groupie. Shop mostly and some sightseeing. Getting a visa is like nothing on earth. Lined up for four hours today, then had to argue with the security line man about him letting other people push in, probably because of a bribe! I have to go back tomorrow to pick it up. grrr again.
And, finally, a music related story, I've been looking for the name of a song for about ten years, and I found it on the weekend. 'Your Woman' it has a creaky kind of sound in it from about 1997. hurrah!Comment

I don't envy you the visa woes, been there in the past. I spent most of my career travelling, living away from home, can't be arsed with it anymore although I still have the occasional trip.
I haven't been to China yet but its on the list for sure. Are you gonna post a blog while you're there?Comment
