I did  a gig at a village fate at Knebworth which was rather jolly fun with the Sonic Boomers but I am a bit done in at present. It&#8217;s been a very difficult week to be honest.<br>Sometimes you have to let go a little bit. Maybe this week is one of those?I am a bit irritable though as I can&#8217;t seem to cool off. I never used to get this hot to be honest. It&#8217;s funny but music is sort of existential. Gig or die almost for me. Vicky was the same. Maybe that&#8217;s why we worked so well together, because we were obsessed with it. this year I have felt pretty low at times. A lot of pain which is difficult to manage at times, a feeling of very low self worth and generally being past it . I feel like creatively I am just repeating myself a lot. I do wish what I do was a bit more recognised though my music does get played a fair amount. I miss playing gigs regularly. I can&#8217;t deal with the heat now either the way I used to. I am still as bi-polar as I ever was and easily triggered however much I try to manage it.<br><br>Back in the day at the Little Green Dragon:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"604\" height=\"296\" data-attachment-id=\"179082\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/2025\/06\/22\/still-too-hot\/wayback-diana-lgd-2019-06-14\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wayback-Diana-LGD-2019-06-14.png?fit=1920%2C942&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,942\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Wayback Diana LGD 2019-06-14\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wayback-Diana-LGD-2019-06-14.png?fit=604%2C296&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wayback-Diana-LGD-2019-06-14-1024x502.png?resize=604%2C296&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-179082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wayback-Diana-LGD-2019-06-14.png?resize=1024%2C502&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wayback-Diana-LGD-2019-06-14.png?resize=300%2C147&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wayback-Diana-LGD-2019-06-14.png?resize=768%2C377&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wayback-Diana-LGD-2019-06-14.png?resize=1536%2C754&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wayback-Diana-LGD-2019-06-14.png?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wayback-Diana-LGD-2019-06-14.png?w=1208 1208w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Wayback-Diana-LGD-2019-06-14.png?w=1812 1812w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s still to hot for me.
