What happens when you run out of road?

I seem to be hitting some sort of equilibrium in the mental health stakes now, and I can almost spend more than  5 minutes working on IT stuff but I think I have to find my way in the world using other means. It seems to have taken for ever to finish the Elephant Shelf Album but at least we did it finally. I would still like to make a proper Glass Cage CD but I don’t have enough money to actually press  a CD so I guess that’s not going to happen.  I have been very active in making opportunity’s for live performance so I should not feel to bad about that and I have a much larger social circle.

Birthday blues

Date Posted: 15th January 2008

Current mood: quixotic

January and my Birthday approaches. I shall be making efforts to ignore it as much as possible in the vain hope that it will go away, as time seems to be passing very quickly now. I am still up to the usual rubbish. Its a great relief that Alison is eating again and is getting back to a more normal weight though she is still a bit wobbly on her legs, but that’s likely to be the effect of the medication rather than anything else.

A few Elephant Shelf gigs and some very enthusiastic receptions too.We are now working on our recordings again. Its a little tiring trying to fit it all in but we are getting there I think and we should be able to start selling Cd’s at gigs again at some point in the future. The Shelf is having its 300th gig party at the Salisbury pub on Saturday.We have got guest acts and your all invited. Except You because you have been very naughty

It amazes me that the band has lasted that long… Still the band that arm wrestles together stays together as they say.
