Nearer and nearer

I mean our conservatory is nearly done. Well, it's up and has windows in. They're using some powerful sealant or glue that's making me quite high.

Turns out I do have a book to read, I bought Wind in the Willows having never read it before. I also have some David Gemmells we got because we lost our old copies.

Unusual for a Friday but at a loose end. I bought an OP-1. A B-stock one, still expensive but something I always thought I might buy one day. Good for Headshock beach sessions and hanging in the conservatory when the studio is too stuffy. I'm making excuses to myself for spending money unnecessarily. Mind you contemplated selling both my Elektrons. Funny how that happens. Now the desire to play live has gone, they seem to merely occupy space and demand too much time to use compared to other, faster gear.

Work continues on 'the book'. Think it'll be launched officially at Synthfest and I'm increasingly optimistic about how it will turn out.
Getting so many Facebook friend requests I'm considering only accepting them from folks who send a photo of them posing with one of my novels. ;)

Right, it's Friday and time to make noises.
Bloody hell, the Synthi is ill! All it will do is scream and get hot. Not something I usually aim for in a synth. Arse! First the Morpheus and now this. At least the Synthi will be fixable.

Saturday morning, listening to a free download from Brendan Pollard. Good Berlin stuff, I should seek out his bandcamp and actually buy some. Oddly enough now I have my USB stick mentality sorted for music it doesn't seem quite so pointless to buy downloads. Who knew? Everyone I guess.

Pat's happy

Did this mostly to try and use the A4/OT and reassure myself it would be daft to just flog cos I'm temporarily fed up. Probably does need a remix but have lots of separate tracks thanks to new mixer.

Just seen Greg Doran on TV, reminded me of choir days.
