A lot of very strange notions are flying around my head right now. A bit crazy and close to the edge when actions have consequences. So I take a deep breath. Recording again this afternoon. I found an old demo of vicky doing a Woody Guthrie song that I didn’t know I had. I have added a bit of fiddle and slide to it. Not quite finished but almost. I might had a touch of dulcimer as well. In the end I didn’t and gave myself a headache in the process but its done now.
But this track is not it though.

When Will We Come Here Again

We can’t retrace our steps can we. What was was but was and what is,is and however glorious it was it will not be the same again. Botheration said Poo bear to Piglet. I know said piglet let’s go and wind Eeyore up. Splendid said Poo.

I need a plan just in case in case I live a few more years. If I don’t get cancer/heart disease or go barmy. yes I know I have my music but I may need to expand that a bit. Perhaps more projects recording original music with others and of course a few more gigs if I am spared would be nice too.

This year still feels palpably weird in some respects. Stuff is happening but I feel like a very detached observer of events in the world but somehow not of it. A lot of media chatter about the death of Ann Widdecombe. It turns out she was murdered. She said a lot of stuff I might not agree with but to be honest I did not take much notice of her. She seems to have been anti everything pretty much. But there will be many others that hold similar views of course. I find the best thing to do with such people is ignore them and treat them as invisible. You can’t shut down the hate and most people that have such divisive and often hateful views are in my view likely to have major issues. Some maybe are not mad but in fact entirely bad.

Today (17/07/2026) is the end of term here , so time to remount the bren gun on the balcony and stack some ammo next to it just in case. The Bren gun was widely considered the best light machine gun of World War II due to its legendary reliability, extreme accuracy, and quick-change barrel system. It provided infantry with mobile, sustained firepower that easily adapted to various combat environments. It should take care of the average teenage rampage though a platoon of public school boys might be more difficult to eradicate if sufficiently disciplined.

I am working my way through various events and hangups and guilt trips at present and to try and be ready to take an opportunity if it presents it self or have the knowledge to make an informed choice.
