Things I did from February 3rd through 6th:

• Had a surprise lunch thrown for me by Clare
• Drank too much imported beer out of a very large glass
• Caught up with some family I hadn’t seen for years
• Had a surprise trip away organised for me by Clare
• Took a ferry trip (twice)
• Went kayaking (twice)
• Had Oysters for dinner (twice)
• Read a goodly portion of Nick Hornby’s 31 Songs (on which more at a later date – or possibly not, depending on inclination. I am notoriously fickle)
• Drank moderate to excessive amounts of wine
• Was molested overnight by relentless, aerogard resistant, kamikaze (when I got a good shot in) mosquitos

Things I did not do from February 3rd through 6th:

• Write any songs
• Record any songs

It’s ok, it’s only the 6th… I’ve got time. No worries.

That’s how old I’m turning tomorrow

I wrote some solo-project music yesterday – a sort of folk meets baroque thing (I wonder if i can call it “foque”? ), but I’m afraid the well is dry for now – and I’m taking a break over the weekend to celebrate the ravages of time.

Hopefully I’ll be able to write more next week, once I have the perspective of old age from which to look back.

Ok, I’m done with that line now
