How are you today?

I'm still buzzing a little from finally seeing the wonderful Thomas Fersen perform live last night in Geneva. At least I think it is from the music. Knowing how much I like him, Albert bought us tickets. However, the city authorities were forced to repeal the anti-smoking laws a little while ago and it was truly horrible to have to stand in a club where you could barely make out the stage beyond the blanket of smoke (mostly tobacco, but not exclusively). For a country that prides itself on its progressive attitudes the failure to ban smoking at live performances is pretty unfathomable. It's ages since I've come home from a gig and had to put all the clothes in the washing machine straight away to get rid of the smell of smoke. Yuk!!
