I did not notice the passers by and they did not notice me

Frite nite. Hard work to convince the punters ( !) that what I was talking about was not shite. I can't think of any other way to put it. This was a challenging evening. And I am so not an actor. I cannot act. I cannot act, full stop. Saying that, I'm so lucky to have such an amazing job, but we really earn our money.

Good times

Yep, I got the CD and it's brill! Had it playing at work in the tearoom. This is an odd forum to respond to mrs composer but I couldn't get my google account to comply and lets face it, no one else I care about actually reads my blog anyway. (If you do then; No.1 I apologize profusely, and.. No.2 Please make contact! ). Had a lovely weekend day at home for once, sam rather pleased to have his daddy, although he's still full of cold, so abit down this evening. He asked to go to bed at 7-00 which is early for him. Me and my friend rick had a great night yesterday at the beer festival. We sat and played on and off all night inbetween the main entertainer, a lad called Ben, who sang and played guitar. He was very good, but ended up having to finish early having cut his finger quite bad, which was not good for guitar playing! (Not sure how he cut it?...) I even got an applause for banjo strumming!! Deliverance goes down so well EVERY time! All in all a top night, good to see rick enjoying himself, only 6 weeks since having a heart attack and double re-sus, some people are unstoppable, he's an absolute star.

Beer is good and full of cheer and makes you well at this time of the year

Beer festival this week at work, great event but knackering, which explains why I'm sat winding down at this late hour, having finished work at midnight. The site manager at a premier museum is leaving imminently, to who knows where. The same site manager that occasionally crosses my orbit. Like a slightly more regular halleys comet. I think it's heading back out into the dark outer limits, sadly. Time stretches on and on, very strange and difficult to fathom. Kahlil Gibran talks of remembering a past harvest with joy, not guilt or regret. I should keep that at the front of my jumbled thoughts. The red hot chillie peppers sang- you only regret things you didn't do.

basil has run out of thyme

What a title, thanks mrs canadian composer. I so miss our chats, it seems our world is completely out of sync at the moment. I guess all the cogs will realign eventually. I've been having some really odd thoughts and feelings about my own mortality and age lately, feelings of not having accomplished enough, time running out. Perhaps it's an age thing that happens, at this age, no one I know talks about it, most of my friends are significantly older and a few younger than me. Is it a terrible secret?...! Having an overdue holiday was both a good thing and a bad thing. I think I had so long without switching off my mind, when I finally got the chance I didn't enjoy the vacuum and filled it with some very dark matter. Conclusion is switch off regularly for short periods, clear the circuits before they get too clogged.
