Last weekend was the normal routine of a couple of gigs,(no surprise there!) one in Winchester at a jolly place called the Fountain. We started late so the folks could watch the welsh demonstrating their inherent superiority in the art of Rugby. Then a couple of lively sets, and a very appreciative audience. Also a major outbreak of Dad dancing from some of the folks in attendance. Including some very enthusiastic Polish folks.<\/p>\n<p>Plus it&#8217;s always nice to see a pub security guard with a very decent mohican .<br \/>\nQuality.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday was a bit quieter up in Barnet at &#8220;Ye Olde Mitre&#8221;. yep, it really is called that as there has been a pub on the site since 1600 something. Again a fun gig and some very complimentary words were spoken. Also the guy that runs the place is rather taken with a song of our last album and its one I wrote. We had not done it live, but he asked if we would put in and we did and he was jolly pleased too which was cool.<\/p>\n<p>I got home to bed about 3, which ment on the way home I managed to catch a brief glimpse of the eclipse though I didn&#8217;t bother to stay up for the &#8220;Blood Moon&#8221; effect.<\/p>\n<p>Today (Monday) was mostly the usual stuff at home. A bit of practice and a spot of bill paying and other minor unpleasantness. More disposing of old crap. In other news the back seems to have eased a bit, fingers crossed.<\/p>\n<p>There is always something about the changing of the seasons that makes thing different. Perhaps its deeply routed in our psyche somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Today feels different&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My boredom threshold is quite low recently.
