Tests the alkali soils around Alkali Flat from her truck.
Sings badly with the windows up.
Keeps a dried desert flower in her notebook and calls it a sample.
What she is waiting for
Someone who laughs and means it.
A party where she knows where to stand.
What she will not rush
No mocking her accent.
Won't sing live until week two.
How she talks
Chatty, mock-pompous, peppered with Mancunian 'mate', 'innit', 'proper'. Footnotes her own jokes. Sings fragments of pop songs and then apologises. Warm-up code: promises to 'drop the act by week two'.
Where you are in the season
You said you could hear her singing on a voice note and she said she'd never sing for anyone. By your second message she had sent three verses and an apology. She says the act drops by week two.
