Musings

It’s a bit of a low key day, after a weekend of gigs. My mood is a bit low today and I can’t get going, though i have been doing a few mundane tasks and the day has passed quite quickly.  This miserable summer is really not helping and I do wonder if we will see any real sunshine for the remainder of the season. I am really not too hopeful to be honest. There seems to be a strange mood in the land too. Almost like discovering that from now on it will always be a wet Sunday  afternoon for all eternity.   I am not sure why I feel like this,  as the good things in my life are still good and compared to a lot of people I am fairly secure.

Mental health is a weird thing though isn’t it?

Musings

I Played at the Fling festival in Chelmsford the other day, it was fun and the sun came out too. I do wish it would warm up a bit though. Got a really nice vegan curry too. Also saw a very good act called “Band of Fools”. Lovely stuff.
While we were sorting our gear out a tree patted me on the back of the head, very gently. Quite a strange sensation, as I didn’t know they had Ents in Chelmsford?
