Writing and practice tends to be during the day.  Sometimes I wake up with an idea which I always seem to forget though by the time I have had breakfast. That seems to be my particular pattern\/routine though it is not a schedule it seems to have naturally become one in terms of flow?  The earliest time I have ever recorded in &#8220;proper&#8221;studios has around 10.30 am, but nothing useful has occurred until about an hour later on average.  I do often think about what I should be doing as opposed to what I am actually doing and surprisingly there&#8217;s not much in it. I mostly get to do what I want when I want to which is pretty neat really. So my plan such as it is is just to carry on regardless whilst it&#8217;s all still fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I went for a ride in the (Citroen) Picasso for an hour. We both survived and the engine kept going. So looking like light duty&#8217;s from now till next week and if thats OK back to normal service (fates permitting and particularly at this time: If we are spared). Lovely sunny day, cold but very pleasant. At such troubled times as these it feels almost like the Cuban missile crisis again. Or maybe it&#8217;s even worse having just read the news? Will Putin&#8217;s rage send us all to an early grave. Mad Vlad or just bad Vlad? Tomorrow is another country to paraphrase.
