Heh

No deadlines for next week, still some kitchen work but maybe time off to chill and write. Did some today, sanitised up to 1st 35 chapters by now. Making each chapter count, or trim and condense brutally. 37 now, which is later.
Tried to engage a dear old friend in conversation again but failed. Probably tried wrong track but tired of trying, dead horse flogging not my thing. Enjoyed pil on jooz. Back to novel, Pat gone to bed tired. Extra hour in bed, stupid idea...

Yep, Sunday evening now and it's way too dark already. It's like we got kicked into winter before time.

So a weekend off, with beer, chocolate, writing and probably some Game of Thrones later. Bliss. Sorry, nothing exciting to report but here's some pix, each spoilt by something.

Tempus Fugit

It sure does. A month since I remembered I have a blog, must mean something. Naturally I've been busy, have also had a stinking cold that's lasted about 3 weeks, still lingering slightly.

So what's new? Well, I put out a couple of old albums on bandcamp. As usual I was wrong about which one people would like, that award going to Ephemeris rather than Transhuman Express. I thought the first was too gloomy but it turns out the second is too experimental, or disorganised, which is very possibly true. I reorganised the bandcamp page into some kind of order. Keep getting requests for the very early stuff - and by that I mean 1980 onwards. The stuff before then I don't even admit to as the stuff that is known is bad enough. Better to keep the mystery and not put it out, I think, even if I did have a working cassette deck. Yet another person has offered me money for the original tapes, which is like 4 or 5 people now.

I've written a lot lately - well not last week. Plumbers are destroying the house. Today two plasterers really showed the others were playing at it, the place is a total mess now. Novel progressing well, have sanitised first 30 chapters. Each comb through improves it, sharpens, snappifies. More to do as I'm getting down to the details. Could carry on forever, I enjoy this part most of all. Reviews going well, despite some slowness in response here and there.

Bought another new module. Did I tell you my Clouds arrived? Well, I added a Spectral Multiband Resonator and it's awesomely good. And I'm reviewing another I love, so it's getting a bit mad in the eurocrack box.

So anyway, stuff to do, just saying that I'm still alive really.
