Stuf that I can’t fit anywhere else…

Sunny days and uphill struggles

Some days it feels like you only have to turn over in bed to strain something. This is not life enhancing. Today is such a day. Usual afternoon here at Stone Towers. Piano reading practice Recording and stuff until now. Doing stuff is on average about 5 hours a day I guess the rest is just fannying about. There is I suspect a lot of subconscious stuff going on when I am zoning out. I am a bit more energetic, but I have to watch as my body seems a lot more fragile these days. I am not bothering to follow much of the election stuff now. I did read a bbc news article about people that don’t vote anymore or never have. One young woman said her family never did. It was very much a thing that our family always did. Perhaps, because then the memory’s of WWII were very fresh for people of my parents age. It mattered a lot to then that we had been able to survive as a democracy and not be over run. My vote is unlikely to matter but having the franchise is important. Many people now seem to think that politics is just a game where people make false promises to get elected. I cannot argue too much with the logic behind that though.

At the time of writing it’s the summer solstice. And I am still looking for answers to make sense of life generally so no change there.

The End?

There are three choices:

#1 Abandon Ukraine and hope for the best = Russia continues with its territorial ambitions

#2 Support Ukraine to keep fighting until they have no will left to do so. A long war many deaths and Ukraine still loses = Russia continues with its territorial ambitions

#3 NATO becomes directly involved. = Conventional WW111 but with the potential for Western Europe /UK to be destroyed if conflict goes nuclear
At that point it is more lightly just before US maybe drops out of NATO?
Nigel Farage becomes Putin’s right hand man along with his friend Steve Bannon.

Everybody dies in #3

#1 and #2 only thousands of people die and Russia wins.

#4 Barbie/Disney version = Complete and utter regime change in Russia. Roll titles, pink sunset and everybody lives happily ever

And what ever happens Palestine is screwed.

Here is a song for you.

When You Feel You Have Done Enough But …

What to do when you realise you have started repeating yourself and the inspiration has slipped away? That is where I am now. Its difficult. It’s a hiatus. Ho Hum. What if anything comes next.
At the time of writing I have also had a gig cancelled due to the weather. I was on my way driving and got a message but fortunately I had not gone too far. So on with the motley, but just not today. So I shall start working on a recording of a new song, though it’s an effort as I am not really in the mood but I need to keep occupied with something as its really flattened my mood not playing a gig today. Food may help 🙂
