Got to on keep trying. Apparently. Even when you are running out of steam. And I am a wee bit I must confess. Today I assembled an exercise bike and it was quite a workout to be honest. Outdoor exercises at this season plays havoc with my arthritis, so it a useful winter compromise. Keeping fit when you don’t regularly gig is I find a problem. So I am slowly trying to build up a little bit of stamina again if I can. Also activity can help alleviate or mitigate depression too which is also a very important for me as well. So in-between practicing and recording and mixing there is now exercise to work in as well. It’s worth a try at least.

The worlds in a pretty bad state now and there’s little that an individual can do really. Public out cry about injustice may well make us feel we are doing something, but it seems that we have less and less power to achieve any sort of leverage and change the mindset of those that rule over us. Power is a drug and those that don’t have it are doomed to waste away. There is no sense left in the whole wide world now.

Here’s a world/jazz genre instrumental. It’s called “Intrusive thoughts”

Facebook: Yes it’s useful and mostly benign except for one thing. The endless rubbish that comes through on messenger from spammers and scammers and phishers. I get it in industrial quantities at times. the messages start like this “Hi” or “How are you”.
Nobody tells you why they are getting in contact for example. It’s almost never anything genuine. Ok its a nuisance but it stil annoys me. Ho hum. Also it is always worth remembering that pretty things may be toxic and dangerous. So don’t always believe what you see.

• Altered United States?
  There is so much weird stuff going on now that it might be worth getting a lottery ticket as the odds of infinite improbability increase exponentially, or something like that.You know what I am getting at of course. I have seen this film before and I know how it ends. Diana Stones Glasscage · Seen This Film Before Keir Starmer seems to me to be a fairly conservative talking suit that is either not in anyway in charge or simply does not grasp the difference between right and wrong on many … Continue reading Altered United States? →

  Another Cunning Plan Possibly
  A few reasonable nights sleep recently, sleeping right through sometimes. That’s not happened for a couple of years. Maybe related to herbal meds helping or not who knows. A little bit weary with the state of things still though. I am a bit anxious about doing stuff generally at the moment though. I am not sure why though, maybe its just the hostile vibe generally. I am trying to find a better way to record violin as I am not getting the tone I want a lot of the time. Sometimes … Continue reading Another Cunning Plan Possibly →

  September rain
  It’s been a wet start to this month so far. I have spent too much time staring at screens this past couple of days, drives you mad I think…Having a brief fraying around the edges moment I think. Today I am a bit listless. I can’t commence on the headlight restoration today as its been to wet. Done a lot of music related stuff last few days so I am at a temporary saturation point with all that guff. I might carry on with more video editing I think. I am … Continue reading September rain →

  A tiny drop of empathy can spread along way if you let it.
  Diana Stones Glasscage · Its Just A Dream Gone Bad Today I have a headache (dodgy sinuses and a lifelong issue). It’s not helped by reading about the madness going on generally both at home in the UK and outside it.So I am not going to mention any particular things that are bugging me as it is a very long list. Rather in particular one thing which seems to be very clear from public discourse at present is the total lack of empathy generally. I am getting way too much deja … Continue reading A tiny drop of empathy can spread along way if you let it. →

  It’s amazing what you can insert yourself into they say, but can you get out again?
  To honest I wouldn’t know about all that but hey whatever. I am still limping along, but with a few more music projects in the go now, plus my new non-music project. “Can I get my old car through the MOT cheaply” A plan has been drawn up and will commence shortly. I think it is unlikely to work but one never knows unless one tries of course. Go me hopefully. I always wondered why the ancient greeks never got started with steam power. Heron, the great inventor of Alexandria, described … Continue reading It’s amazing what you can insert yourself into they say, but can you get out again? →
