Stuf that I can’t fit anywhere else…

Times A Funny Thing

Where did all those years go? And why is everything weird now like “Alice through the looking glass”. Up is down and black is white and newspeak rules. And Oceania is constantly at war with Eurasia and Eastasia. And it’s nearly June. Everything is very green but we have rain virtually every day at present. I personally can’t remember things being quite like this before. The world seems pretty hopeless now, it could be a near paradise but greed and prejudice put paid to that.

A new instrumental track.
Friends With Benefits

So as usual I am doing what I do day to day. I had a brief overnight visit from my sister, so a slight change to my normal routine. I am getting back into a bit more regular exercise again now the post covid malaise seems to have worn off.

Who can you trust. My disillusionment increases day by day watching the run up to the UK election. At this point in my life it will make very little difference who is elected on a personal basis. But everything seems bleak generally in the world from where I stand. It could be that todays just a bad day for me personally of course. I have been jogging along feeling reasonably OK in the mental health department, but occasionally I get hit with something out of the blue that throws me off course. Ho hum. There are weeks when I see only my partner who is not always the best of communicators and that can seem strange.

last night I had a dream I was back at the office in a very junior position fileing and I was talking to work colleagues. I said it was the third time I had returned to work there. That’s quite odd as there has never been an occasion where I had returned to a workplace having left.

I just got back from the Chesham Fringe Festival after performing as part of Jonathan Bickleys rather good Invisible Folk Club band at the George and Dragon. A jolly fine time was had by all

The latest album Robin Hood by Jonathan Bickley which I am fiddling on along with the rest of the Invisible Folk Club band.

Watching Rishi In The Rain

His suit looked very soggy, I really hope it doesn’t shrink. I am sure it will be good quality and not prone to such things. But he did look a bit forlorn smiling and dripping as “Things can only get better” drifted on the wind from the Pro EU protesters just outside the Downing St gates.

A new recording of an old song for you.

Love too Strong For You

It’s been a quiet week here in Bedfordshire, though. And a lot of rain again. Today I was finishing off a recording mostly. It was too wet to to go anywhere though so here I stayed all day. And it has set a few aches and pains off. That always seem to set pains off when its damp.
Time takes its toll I guess. I am also a little bored to be honest. I was recording most of yesterday and my brain seems a bit fried. I just got an idea for a song with an interesting lyric. Dare I record it and sing it. Time will tell. But I have the idea now in my head. maybe I should. I do feel very weird these days and a mass of contradictory urges and desires. Can I get a pill for that, I wonder? Maybe.
