I am quite pleased with the rough mixes.<\/p>\n<p>I am still feeling pretty rough at times as the bones are creaking and aching a lot, but I am assured that this is all part of the repair process and that apart from excercise and pain killers its just a matter of working through the process, though real ale is very effective in taking the edge off it(it is a muscle relaxant after all ). Its been depressing at times though, without a doubt.<\/p>\n<p>One unexpected side effect that I have started excercises which should help with my posture. I have a life long spine problem,(basically a small hump) and the workout seems to to be helping with some of the postural issues I have. One of the worst things is that I can&#8217;t lift anything too heavy, but I have got a trolley for moving gear around which I should have got a while back but the old one broke and I didn&#8217;t replace it which was a bad move. I need a bit more advice as I may need a back brace of some sort, but I have been waiting for my ribs to fix first.<\/p>\n<p>We did a support slot on Saturday night in Reading for Larry Miller at Reading Arts Center, quite a contrast from just the two of us in our extremely roots incarnation of the Deltas, but it went OK\u00c2\u00a0 phew. Larry is great, but very, very LOUD!<\/p>\n<p>We are back in Reading in a couple of weeks at a little place called the Retreat which strangely enough has a very good selection of real ales. At this point you may be detecting a theme. Actually I am not a huge drinker, usually 2 pints max on an evening out. Rarely I will have a pint at home but mostly not. Next week we should be back in the studio to do more work on the band (elephant Shelf) album, which is nearly cooked now, and we have a couple of localish gigs at the end of the week which should be fun.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Begin Preloved Widget --><br \/>\n\t<script language=\"JavaScript\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.preloved.co.uk\/jswidgets10\/listadverts?memberId=2014017869&#038;format=300box&#038;skin=none&#038;title=I%27m%20currently%20selling&#038;affiliatePartner=Preloved&#038;affiliateId=2014017869\"><\/script><br \/>\n\t<!-- End Preloved Widget --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its been a slightly different start to the month.
