at Catherine’s birthday bash at The Troubadour was fantastic. I hadn’t performed in a while and was good to play again.
I am currently getting to know Logic Audio Studio 9. It’s a fantastic program and I’m enjoying the learning.
I have some writing, programming, recording and mixing work ahead. Not my own venture, but an exciting collaboration with “Besureis“.
Yes, I have a deadline for my EP too. April 1st. A bit later that I would have liked but better late than never.
Cheers!
I hope you are having a great one so far and that the festive season has been a tremendous end and start to fantastic times.
This year has a lot in store for me. It is good to be able to have this time, this life to experience this journey.
Whatever your journey, I wish you the very best. ‘Today’ is the time that counts. May this day and every ‘today’ be the very best to you.
and eerily quiet flat. The kitchen floor still wet from a mop, but the weekly cleaner nowhere in sight. Nobody is in. They have left for rendezvous without London for the festive season. I am alone.
I love it.
I have no family to visit this Christmas. Usually I do, but this year some relatives are chilling and others in faraway lands where the mighty sun bids a steamy Christmas.
So instead, I am going to celebrate Christmas with some fellow homeless bodies. Bodies with nowhere to go as families are in lands yonder, some asunder.

Well, my Christmas present to myself came early. I went to the Apple Store on 18th December and purchased a 15″ MacBook Pro and Logic Audio Studio. It’s a luxury and a work tool. A luxury to work on, and my studio for writing, producing, recording, and my office. My poor iMac is giving up the ghost. It is complaining, misfiring and generally tired and slow.
So there, that’s me for now. I bid you all a FANTASTIC CHRISTMAS!
is cold. The first of snow has fallen in the swirling of gusty winds. A forecast of sub-zero temperatures for the next 48 hours. Winter has arrived.
I played a gig tonight. It was for the homeless at St. Mungo’s in Covent Garden. It was fantastic. I really enjoyed it. The audience very receptive and appreciative. I declared my love for my mum and dedicated a song to her; “The Queen of Everything” of course!
The Dash kicked up a storm too. As did a favorite of mine, Charlie of “The Coolness“.
The bubble of water in my eye has not receded and I will visit the Western Eye Hospital again tomorrow morning, weather permitting, for a second opinion. I’ve been there before and in reality, this is the fourth diagnosis I am seeking as first I had was in Malaysia, then another from my GP when I arrived back in London, then the Western Eye Hospital. I have tried to research this online and feel it might be some diagnosis other than “water retention”.
Some other things on my list for tomorrow is a visit to the Levi’s store in Regent Street. I seem to have grown out of my desire to have my jeans hanging on my hips that give an illusion of a longer body, to having it slightly higher. I have been wearing this new pair of high waisted jeans this for the last 3 weeks (yes, I have washed them every week) as I can’t bring myself to don my old 507’s.
Another thing on my list is a visit to the Apple Store also in Regent Street to configure my laptop and possibly bring it home tomorrow. I was a bit hesitant as it will cost me around £1500, software included. I do however feel the urge to start remixing, recording, producing, writing and generally being artistically creative.
Today has been a good day. I am grateful.
I must profess my love for “The Cardigans“!
