My boredom threshold is quite low recently. A lot of stuff I used to be fascinated by seems lacklustre again. I also find it very difficult motivate myself. Fortunately that does not cause me too much of a problem in the practical sense, but I am having a quite a few staring into space days.

Its nice to see the early Autumn sunshine though. Last weekend was the normal routine of a couple of gigs,(no surprise there!) one in Winchester at a jolly place called the Fountain. We started late so the folks could watch the welsh demonstrating their inherent superiority in the art of Rugby. Then a couple of lively sets, and a very appreciative audience. Also a major outbreak of Dad dancing from some of the folks in attendance. Including some very enthusiastic Polish folks.

Plus it’s always nice to see a pub security guard with a very decent mohican .
Quality.

Sunday was a bit quieter up in Barnet at “Ye Olde Mitre”. yep, it really is called that as there has been a pub on the site since 1600 something. Again a fun gig and some very complimentary words were spoken. Also the guy that runs the place is rather taken with a song of our last album and its one I wrote. We had not done it live, but he asked if we would put in and we did and he was jolly pleased too which was cool.

I got home to bed about 3, which ment on the way home I managed to catch a brief glimpse of the eclipse though I didn’t bother to stay up for the “Blood Moon” effect.

Today (Monday) was mostly the usual stuff at home. A bit of practice and a spot of bill paying and other minor unpleasantness. More disposing of old crap. In other news the back seems to have eased a bit, fingers crossed.

There is always something about the changing of the seasons that makes thing different. Perhaps its deeply routed in our psyche somewhere.

Today feels different….
