On this Day
26 June 2008
Jazz and Awol that’s our team,
Step inside the party disrupt the whole scene.
When it comes to beats well I’m a fiend,
I like my sugar with coffee and cream - Beastie Boys, ‘Intergalactic’, 1998
A year ago today at 7.20am I was listening to the aforemenioned track whilst driving to work, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I was probably bobbing my head and miming the lyrics but there would certainly have been some finger action on the steering wheel.
As I was sat at a set of traffic lights my mobile sprang into life. Showing an unusual (officer) disregard for the Highway Code I answered it and Len uttered the words that would change and shape the rest of our lives…
‘Steve, I think I’m pregnant’
How we’ve gone from that day to having a child who deftly completes one-eighties (© Tony Hawk) in her cot overnight in such a short space of time is anybody’s guess.
