Today was going well then suddenly a panic attack. I haven&#8217;t had one for a while but woosh there it is. I replaced the rude words in my song with some new lyrics and have sent it abroad on the internet to try and find its fame and fortune. Here  is that song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A2185826253&#038;color=%23400e0e&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe><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;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\" title=\"Diana Stones Glasscage\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">Diana Stones Glasscage<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/just-been-thinking-about-what\" title=\"Just Been Thinking About What To Do With You\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\">Just Been Thinking About What To Do With You<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I seem to have a new voice to add to my repertoire. I used to be able to sing in a high range and its come back out of nowhere seemingly. I shall work on that a bit I think. I managed to use that voice on a track a few months back that I recorded that had a lot of plays. I think I may have found my secret weapon. I will try and see if I can extend the top end reliably with a few exercises. I am slightly annoyed to have screwed up my budget this month. Mostly as I should have paid for my car on my credit card, not from my bank account. Whoops. It&#8217;s not a major problem though if I wait a week or so I won&#8217;t need to pick sailors on shore leave or anything. I am a bit out of practice with that sort of thing \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had my 6 monthly check this morning,  All Ok, just a polish. Thank heavens for electric toothbrushes. I always hate going to the dentists due to childhood associations as I had very bad teeth and had to have about 6 teeth out with gas at a dental hospital. Took 3 of them to get me in the chair even with pre-meds. My Dentists is in Midland road (for those that know Bedford), a bit run down and much like my old home in Brixton so it feels comfortable to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of writing I have had a bit of a dip. Perhaps it is just the change of the seasons? Light levels do affect my mood quite a bit I find. <br><br><strong>I hope that the there can be a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine:\u00a0<\/strong><br><br><strong>Isaiah 43:2: \u201c<\/strong>When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Matthew 11:28-30<\/strong>: \u201cCome to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
