If you have power

There are a lot of people who awoke today whose world now feels a lot less safe and secure. Many who are seen as the “other”.
Many who are not seen at all. If you have power to do well by your neighbours, try and remember that and not to be swept away by anger or rage or fear and hold fast.

“Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.”

Another One Just Slipped Out

Yep a new tune. Where do they all come from?

Give Me What I Need, I Know You Can

And it’s another day here at Stone Towers looking out on the trees changing colours. And the gardeners tidying out in back. Gardeners, makes me sound like the lady of the manor 😉

Frustrations And Questions

A few minor hiccups at present. My car is still not well and I am trying some bodging and amateur fettling to try and fix it. Success is not by any means guaranteed though. But one feels one should at least try or one would be letting the side down. It is the English way to carry on keep calm and struggle in an abjectly futile manner though of course. So another test run. All well until a minute or so from home and it cut out. Turned off waiting 30 secs ,instant restart and OK again. WTF? Is it haunted. Argh!!! First world problems I guess. So I have ordered a code reader which should tell me what’s up. Only £21 and it should give a reasonable clue as to if I should mend or scrap it.

I just looked at the computer and it logged itself in. I suspect it’s not psychokinesis just a vibration jogging the mouse but for a moment there I was wondering. Today I have been working on some music but the timing is a bit wayward in parts. I discovered I had put in an extra 4 bars of part of the sequence in the middle but I kept it . Maybe might work. Plus I have got a bit anxious. So it’s an all stop till the morrow I think.

Tomorrow has come and I ache like the blaises. Why? Well I sat on the sofa last night and normally I don’t. Could just be that. Arthritis works in mysterious ways.
