Keeping On Keeping On Spaces In Our Heads

Well it’s still a bit of a struggle, keeping up my level of concentration at present.  I have been recording and writing a bit too. I hope by doing a little bit each day I will be able to get back to some reasonable level of fitness again. I do have a bit of difficulty  concentrating but it seems to be more along the lines of fatigue rather than brain fog.  Food is beginning to taste a lot better again fortunately which is a relief. And most of my commitments are sorted out now too. I am finding it hard work getting back on the metaphorical bike though. Its difficult to judge how much exercise is enough or too much.   

Here is a new tune.  A very free improvisation with a slight jazz flavour with Piano, Violin and Synths. It’s quite moody I think.  Anyway see what you think.

Diana says you have to laugh

Still fighting with Covid.

Wow, I am still not really well after 3 weeks. I am getting better but its 2 steps forward and one step back at present. I have  been messaging  people to explain that I will be out of commission for another week or so, with hopefully a gradual return to my normal activities’. Its hard going though. I guess I am feeling my age now. It’s hot again too. Too hot for me in recovery to be honest. I am quite fatigued and it is  bit of a shock to be honest, my usual bounce back is not occuring in the same way.  Age I suppose. it’s very frustrating.  I feel much like I did during lock down again, but I still don’t feel well yet.  The good news is that at the time of writing finally after 3 weeks I have just tested negative. I was beginning to get a bit worried that I might be starting a long covid infection. I am working on getting my strength back a bit too. I know if I miss one day I will be tempted to miss another. Some days I get up in pain but the exercises take it away. So like music and practice and composing it is my daily routine. I am lazy so I have an almost military discipline about it. I note how much exercise  I do per day. That helps me keep motivation up. And pain killers are mostly useless for my pains so I have no choice. Each day I start with exercises and if I miss them I fit them In at a different time in the day pretty much. We are of a different character though. If i had a pottery kiln i would be a potter. I don’t really have any musical Instruments I dont play and so forth. The idea of buying  a guitar and hanging it on the wall although it might be a beautiful thing is alien to me. In part perhaps because I never had money so anything I got was a titanic struggle to get so everything gets used. 

Gosh I am so tired  though.

Never surrender, never give up.  

Here’s a tune for you all
