Got to on keep trying. Apparently. Even when you are running out of steam. And I am a wee bit I must confess. Today I assembled an exercise bike and it was quite a workout to be honest. Outdoor exercises at this season plays havoc with my arthritis, so it a useful winter compromise. Keeping fit when you don’t regularly gig is I find a problem. So I am slowly trying to build up a little bit of stamina again if I can. Also activity can help alleviate or mitigate depression too which is also a very important for me as well. So in-between practicing and recording and mixing there is now exercise to work in as well. It’s worth a try at least.

The worlds in a pretty bad state now and there’s little that an individual can do really. Public out cry about injustice may well make us feel we are doing something, but it seems that we have less and less power to achieve any sort of leverage and change the mindset of those that rule over us. Power is a drug and those that don’t have it are doomed to waste away. There is no sense left in the whole wide world now.

Here’s a world/jazz genre instrumental. It’s called “Intrusive thoughts”

Facebook: Yes it’s useful and mostly benign except for one thing. The endless rubbish that comes through on messenger from spammers and scammers and phishers. I get it in industrial quantities at times. the messages start like this “Hi” or “How are you”.
Nobody tells you why they are getting in contact for example. It’s almost never anything genuine. Ok its a nuisance but it stil annoys me. Ho hum. Also it is always worth remembering that pretty things may be toxic and dangerous. So don’t always believe what you see.

  Go on Then You Know You Want to…
  Well I want to anyway and what’s the harm in it anyway I say. I often think I shouldn’t then possibly I absolutely couldn’t but then I end up doing it anyway 🙂 We all need a regular shot of endorphins and sometimes that’s hard to get when you are home alone and there is nobody to call on the phone. Here’s an old song in a new version. Just Another Someone Diana Stones Glasscage · Just Another Someone And now back to the serious stuff. Trump gets inaugurated on Monday. … Continue reading Go on Then You Know You Want to… →

  Sargasso Stuck, Becalmed Already
  Today was a wasted day when I made a fundamental mistake. Trying to fit in and be helpful. Spoiler, it didn’t work. I am getting on with music stuff again now. Annoyed about a wasted day when I could have been doing something useful. Especially after being too tired to do anything the day before. Triple Ho Ho Hum… Maybe tomorrow. My brain is still a bit wintryfied at present though and I do feel I could just sleep and sleep. I feel as if I am missing something in general … Continue reading Sargasso Stuck, Becalmed Already →

  Tis the Merry month of January I guess
  Hurrah! Our first Sonic Boomers gig of January and it was fun, though a few tech glitches occured at the start. But folks were up and dancing and that’s what matters really. January is always a bit of a fight to get through especially when it’s been so very cold like it has the past few days. I can stand being out in the cold for a short while but not too long at the moment. So I haven’t been walking much lately I must admit. Though I do have a … Continue reading Tis the Merry month of January I guess →

  We Had Snow
  Yes we did. Its melting now very quickly as if it had never been. I did some ill advised DIY and am still suffering the physical consequences of that a day or so later. Also it was not 100% successful either to add insult to injury. Horses for courses and all that I guess. Just remember not to ask for the chief’s special source unless you are a really good friend. Somethings change but for us mere mortals much is constant as the northern star in our perceptions of time passing. … Continue reading We Had Snow →
