Aches and pains again. Yep, it would be easy to give in and just fill up with analgesics at times. I spoke to my sister and she is not feeling too good at all. I suspect she will have retired to bed for a day or too most lightly. She did mention looking at houses in Colne where she lived for many years again which to me seems logical. Her inheritance legal tangles rumble on still though. She could get one and have a few bob spare for stuff though rather than wait for a final resolution I feel.
I think she is too far gone to deal with stuff now. She has always had problems with undiagnosed/untreated depression. That’s why I feel she stayed in an oppressive relationship for so many years. I am lucky, people still find me useful (my friendships are based around music really) otherwise I would be very much on my own in the world apart from Alison.
She may well bounce back though as she often does. She was supposed to be visiting but seems to not be in the mood for that at present. I have just brought a new phone.I Will pick it up today or tomorrow. The same model we got to replace Alison’s 10 year old one. My one is about 7 years vintage now and still does all I need, but as I use banking apps and a lot of stuff like that if I wait until I need to upgrade the price might well be much higher due to US Trump based disruption even though its Korean made. it’s a tool I use for so much stuff now. A day or two if my PC went down would be manageable but the phone not so much. Also as a bonus its got a better camera and I do like taking pictures and doing little music videos (not just of myself darlings 😂). Yesterday it was nice to just cruise out in the car, stop and have a walk. Last time I walked further down that path was with Ralph. Vicky died 6 years ago around midnight today. Might be why I feel a bit sad. It feels along time now and I am glad I have managed to get back on my bike metaphorically speaking and do stuff again. I have been fortunate to meet a few good people too of course. Just wish I could that energy back that I used to have then.
I did a bit of piano sight reading practice and it was pretty good. It’s definitely gone up a notch. weird as I don’t really exactly study much. Osmosis perhaps? Or simply stuff sinking in finally that I didn’t realise I had absorbed. It’s nice out weatherwise right now. I am though not at my best today it must be said. It was a nice surprise to find a bit of Delta Ladies at the 100 Club video in my archives serendipitously upon this day in particular as I don’t think I ever posted it before. I will try and make sure I am out briefly in the sunshine today too. I have a little piano tune I scribbled down the other day that I may work on a bit perchance, might be an instrumental or a song. I am not sure yet.
My exercise routine has had some tangible results in terms of pain reduction and some improvement in posture but I never considered that it might help me vocally. So a useful by-product. As you can imagine taking deep breaths and getting pains in your chest at times is a tad of putting so being able to improve that is a real boon though I was really just working on pain reduction. The song I just did is in a higher range, more like my voice was 30 years ago. I only really noticed it when I was mixing the track.
