We have two Holly Bushes’ outside the mansion now. It seems appropriate sort of. Low key and restrained but sufficiently noticeable I think. I quite like shades of darker green. Calming and soothing. Winter is a mixed bag.
A Darker Green
End of the Year Round Up
Well it’s been both very productive and also slightly frustrating in equal measure. My original music that I have been writing and recording has fared quite well this year. So on one level a productive and creative time for which I am very grateful. My health has been as you would expect mostly though I did manage to get Covid again. I have also had a few live gigs with the Sonic Boomers and Orchard, and John Bickleys Invisible Folk Club Band. So I have not done too badly considering. I have even made a few dollars more. Go me 🙂
At this time of year it’s not always easy for a lot of folks. Sometimes we crave company but its not quite the sort we were hoping for when we are expectantly waiting for Santa to come down our chimney with his magic sack full of joy?
My Christmas message to you all is ….

Jingly Nerves, Jingle All The Way
Hey it’s Christmas jumpy time. Jingle Bells or what!
A pleasant afternoon playing two Christmas shows at Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital and at the Danesbury Neurological Center. On the way there though I bagged a Pigeon on the A1. Car 1 Pidgeon 0. What is wrong with these self sacrificing suicidal avions? I seem to be the f**king vegetarian reaper!!! Hospital’s and institutions are not my normal habitat tis true (they have slightly bad associations). Endless trips to the Child Guidance Clinic. X rays for the TB and so forth… Some of the punters were listening and tapping their feet. We did 2 one hour shows one in the hospital day room and one in the care home day room. Went Ok, mostly women there. Don’t think I will be making a career of it. We are doing a summer show there as the trio though. Very positive feedback from staff and punters. A few aches and pains this am after yesterday’s gig, it was good but needed a lot of concentration so although I played OK I was slightly less relaxed than normal. maybe a bit of additional muscle tension? A lot of material to learn in a short time might have made it a bit more tiring.
