Helloooo, 2026 🎉🎇

Good morning and Happy New Year!

I hope you are safe and well, dear reader, and had a great holidays.

Happy to say I had a really nice break over Christmas seeing my family, hanging with the girls, and spending lots of time with Aly. On New Year's Eve we went to watch the fireworks by the river. It was cold as shit but the prettiness of the fireworks and spending it with the best girl made it totally worth it. Praise be to space heaters!

Back to work tomorrow and me and the girls will be getting back on with PEN-15 this week too.

So what's lined up for this year? Well we're getting straight on with the b-sides album. We're hoping for having that out March or April time?

Then there's the stuff I've been writing for myself. Suze and me got together over Christmas and it's starting to come together. We'll be working on that around PEN-15 activities but it's sounding really interesting so far! I've got an album's worth of stuff and I'm *hoping* to aim for May with that (happy birthday to me!).

Past that, there will likely be PEN-15 album #4 later in the year. We also think it would be good to look at remastering or rerecording some of our earlier stuff at some point, but one step at a time...

For the time being I might still not be blogging on a totally regular basis either. Not in a bad way, but I'm just in a very insular and cosy mode right now and the ADHD has been mostly at rest.

Anyways, I wish you all the best for the year ahead and don't be a stranger!
