How did that happen! Not something I ever imagined or conceived of really.  I have felt a bit stretched recently, old and worn though so who knows.  So its keep calm and carry on day to day for me as much as possible I guess.  So write and record music learn and  material and practice it for my cover bands I play with. That&#8217;s mostly what I do  these days.  I have been thinking about going into video blogging a bit but wonder if I have really got much to say that others have not already said more eloquently?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My impromptu plumbing (which still has a minor leak) and stuff seems to have messed with my arms and back a bit. I have lost a lot strength. I didn&#8217;t realise quite how much. I might have put a bit too much welly in to it. I need to be a bit careful now I guess. Legs are good, hands are good but my arms just haven&#8217;t got the mojo anymore. I don&#8217;t mind a bit of a chill out as things are. I still feel I am recovering from Christmas. Every year in the run up to my Birthday I tend to hit a low of some sort. It must just be a seasonal thing I guess  and I have a sad lamp which I believe  helps a bit.  I am on a bit of a go slow at present to be honest. I use music notation much more now than I used to for my own material that I develop as it does make life a lot easier to keep track of things especially  when you have other distractions and diversions and concentration is not quite  so focused anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes we did.
