Are we finally seeing the light or is there some sting in the tail?&nbsp; I seriously do wonder.<br \/>\nWe are now very close to the turn of the year again.&nbsp; I wonder whats coming next, but I shall try not to think too much about that. I find winter difficult in terms of keeping&nbsp; positive now.&nbsp; When I was out regularly gigging that helped keep my mood lifted but without that its very hard going. However I am attempting to travel hopefully as it were. In a sense from here onward&#8217;s its all down to health in the main. Everything else is sorted pretty much if that holds out. I have a one or two projects in line for 2022, so I have&nbsp; a bit of a plan.&nbsp; I have things to do, but they will be pretty much carrying on as normal. I am not expecting to to do anything radically different now. Old dog, new tricks and all that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1130586055&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=true&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=false&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\">\n<p class=\"mod-reset\"><a style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Diana Stones Glasscage\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Diana Stones Glasscage<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00b7<\/p>\n<p class=\"mod-reset\"><a style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Take Anything You Want From Me\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/take-anything-you-want-from-me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Take Anything You Want From Me<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &#8220;For last year`s words belong to last year`s language and next year`s words await another voice.
