CD baby only keeps 9% of your... http://www.robswan.com/2010/04/28/ange-hardy-on-tour-story-in-song Wed, 28 Apr 2010 17:27:23 -0500 Rob Swan http://www.robswan.com/2010/04/28/ange-hardy-on-tour-story-in-song http://www.robswan.com/2010/04/14/trying-to-get-ange-heard-whos-really-who-online Wed, 14 Apr 2010 23:54:33 -0500 Rob Swan http://www.robswan.com/2010/04/14/trying-to-get-ange-heard-whos-really-who-online We're currently trying to get Ange Hardy's finished album ('Windmills and Wishes') heard by the people who need to hear it. We've got a lot of leads. Leads are good, they're a start. Hopefully they'll lead to something else. The Internet is also good,... http://www.robswan.com/2010/04/04/a-good-good-friday Sun, 04 Apr 2010 08:06:25 -0500 Rob Swan http://www.robswan.com/2010/04/04/a-good-good-friday Good Friday was great this year. We woke up with egg sandwiches (home baked bread and eggs from our chickens), we dug and planted Amy's flower garden, and made some good progress with the new vegetable patch (now I've started digging the turf under... http://www.robswan.com/2010/03/16/review-stress-free-print-www-stressfreeprint-co-uk-less-stressful-this-time Tue, 16 Mar 2010 09:01:51 -0500 Rob Swan http://www.robswan.com/2010/03/16/review-stress-free-print-www-stressfreeprint-co-uk-less-stressful-this-time I've rather slated Stress Free Print in the past (okay, I was fairly harsh), but I've just got Ange's new tour posters back from them and they turned the job around very quickly, did a good job, and matched the colours very well this time!

'Choc', the brown one, is a Columbian Blacktail and 'Obo', the white one, is an Amber Star. Both are 18 weeks old, so they should start laying fairly soon. I named them about 6 months ago, Liz made us the coop for Christmas,... http://www.robswan.com/2009/11/06/the-fluctuating-price-of-milk Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:42:22 -0600 Rob Swan http://www.robswan.com/2009/11/06/the-fluctuating-price-of-milk As I was riding into work this morning I couldn't help but swear into my helmet when I noticed that the price of petrol seems to have quietly risen up to almost £1.07 per litre again.
