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.
- A passing lowIn the doldrums’ again. Floating towards the sargasso weed slowly getting stuck.My moods unaccountably low this week, tired and irritable. Somewhat depressed, and it’s a struggle to get out of bed. I am using all the normal tricks of the trade, but mentally is been a hard week. Or is it just ennui? Talking of which here is a track called “Ennui 11” 🙂Which implies the existence of ennui 1 to 10. Diana Stones Glasscage · Ennui 11 And it is still raining here. Welcome to: Ferenginar the capital planet of … Continue reading A passing low
- Why do we want things that are bad for us?Short-term gain pleasures so often turn into long-term sorrow type pains. We have an extraordinary amount of rain locally, but today its stopped after 3 days worth. It is the usual routine this week. Practice and record and see what I can create. No band outings until October starts. This weeks song that’s scampered off into the wild: Diana Stones Glasscage · Locked Down Even Now Self destructive behaviours are not always obvious to us and others. I tried watching Sir Keirs speech. I had to turn it off. Why can … Continue reading Why do we want things that are bad for us?
- Autumnal Thoughts ContinuedIs thinking overrated? Possibly. It’s been a funny week. My car got through the MOT with a spot of wielding this time. Not cheap but much cheaper than replacing it. Other stuff is ticking along though I have not felt 100%. It’s not covid as I checked that. Keeping up with exercises has slipped a bit too. I really need to get back on the exercise bike more again starting now and in fact today I have. The band is getting the odd gig in here and there which is nice. … Continue reading Autumnal Thoughts Continued
- Reviewing The SituationSo I have arrived at here, but it’s not the place I expected it to be. That is to say it looks very different on finally arriving than I expected.

- Time PassingI got struck nostalgic again, and it’s difficult not to get sucked into that treacly void of often false comfort that provides so often. Well we got it over the line for one season or so and once we stood on the shoulders of giants 🙂Nobody wants to leave the party first or last for that matter do they? A lot of people are leaving the party at present though, Zoot Money and Herbie Flowers to name just a couple of them. So here we are heading towards proper autumnal weather … Continue reading Time Passing
