Lots of running round today. Went round Knowle Green Bottoms, been some years since I went down there. Noticed that Bridge House is directly downhill from Myers Farm, not sure I'd seen that before.

Then had to go to hospital to pick up Nellie. Betty from across the road not expected to live long, saw her briefly and she did look poorly. One of her brothers was drunk so unable to go, the other in bed ill after a fall. Don't get old!

Then took car for MOT and walked back with Jasper from Leyland. Now it's evening and I've some studio work to do. Have sketched some ideas for series of articles for mag, not sure it's substantial enough though. Could be a real monster but dunno how to play it, especially as I am rather busy and expect other review stuff to come along also. Hopefully the MOTU thing before not too long.

Synthi calling but I must resist and knuckle down. Hey ho.

Later. Confess I am rather enjoying writing music for other people. Too long writing just for yourself is not healthy because, deep down, you know it's pointless - rendered even more ephemeral if it's your only output. Funny old business. Should've done this years ago.

Right, completed all of the underscore/stinger and 30" edits for all 10 tracks submitted. One or two are a little boundary-pushing in that they have partial melodies low in the mix cos otherwise some parts would be just kickless percussion and thus rather dull.
