Well how about everything. To start with there is the environment. I have an old diesel it does about 55mpg. I only use it when necessary these days, though sometimes that includes keeping sane \ud83d\ude09 I can\u2019t really afford to replace it when it goes to meet the great mechanic in the sky. Its main function used to be to transport the Delta ladies and their instruments and sundry doodads to gigs. Last year since Vicky moved on down the road apiece much has changed.  I am just about getting my head back together now and waking to reality sort of. It may be though that the band wagon is not necessary in the longer term.  

I still cannot get my head around leaving the EU, I cannot see any possible advantages and it has adversely affected many people I know. I am not going to discuss it further here though. I await the promised sunny uplands, but I am extremely doubtful. It has depressed me a lot though.

Without doubt I am concerned about the direction the current government is taking in many matters, and to say it is unsettling is very much an understatement. It\u2019s not quite giving me nightmares yet but it\u2019s getting there. It ideologically unsound. Populism gave you Hitler and Mussolini\u2019s as an end product.  Yes we should be worried.  Why? Because everything is now so polarised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, I am troubled frankly by the thoughts in my head. The difference between what I desire and what would be good for me as they quite different things.  It\u2019s a very slippery slope and I could easily fall and then where would I be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today has been difficult, the world is mostly shades of grey and even food tastes of nothing. There are days like this and the thing to do is mostly try to keep plodding on as best as one can.
 I have been working on something in the studio room for a while. It needs a vocal next. That will be the difficult part through the lyric does not scan too well but needs to work with the tune. Will it work?  Stay tuned to find out.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I should be feeling a bit more positive as a new creative project has popped up that should be very enjoyable later this month.

Today though I am mostly alone with my thoughts. Even when there is someone else around it is possible to be alone or feel isolated. 
At these times irrational thoughts flood my mind. There is no quick fix that I know of.

Maybe tomorrow will be different?
