Yes, indeed it does. The clocks are on BST again now at least though it is a tad gloomy out there for spring me thinks.
The world is still very much in chaos as I write. And it seems now run by morons and or psychopaths or both in a weird symbiotic relationship. Its a little concerning to put it mildly. I am hoping that spring kicking in will make me feel a bit better. Looks like the band and trio will keep going. I am mostly mildly anxious at times. Not so panicky generally over all. Still looking for assassins in the shadows subconsciously of course. Cant be helped. Creatively things continue to pop up like mushrooms. I feel mildly depressed, but I feel its reactive. The wars, the anti-trans rhetoric, my ageing body, all that stuff. I feel old to be honest. And it is rather tiring. I have scored another own goal exercise wise. Trying to get my core muscles sorted out has a caused a problem due to holding my stomach in unconsciously so my abdominal muscles are not doing quite what they should. It may well be a lot to do with how I have been sitting as well.
I am too old to audition these days. Seriously. I am hiding away a lot at present I feel. I start the day with good intentions that I will do something different but I don’t which has been todays experience again.
I am going to be rehearsing with this lot a again soon.
