Yeah, it's all go here. After being put off another month before she can see the specialist, Pat has given up on the meds that have been affecting her badly and the mood in the house is already a bit lighter. We walked on Thursday - a shortish one (less than 7 miles) in the sunshine, very much enjoyed by me. Got home to see Anne/Colin/William/Benji waiting - rather touched how much Willliam had been awaiting my arrival.
Friday was a typical one - added a few things to some ideas Tim and I had the other day and did a quick mix. I know I should have been working on Cirklon 2 but the MPC is still not quite in my headspace so I'm concentrating on that for the time being. Anyway, setup 4 is working better than the others - I even used it to record some vocal takes for a chorus of 'Spontaneous Human Combustion', a track I'd written some lyrics for (Don improved them and added the catchy chorus). It's all good!
Saturday now, hoping for more Headshock riches to be unearthed, which is maybe greedy given the vast catalogue of unreleased gems we are hoarding. Aoonish4 was the result - didn't even need more than Tim's initial mix, which was fab.
Tuesday now, everything still relatively sweet, Pat cooked steaks yesterday and we had Margaret round, had a day in which I tried to do something musically but failed. Agreed to do a track for a Tony Sawford tribute, will write some words too. Novel progressed a bit - a section I'd been planning started falling into place, although a couple of details need refining. Anyway, will do some cooking this week even if it's just my basic repertoire. No response from the checkatrade thing trying to get our sewer pipe fixed, which is a pain. Talked to Tony about the MS20 mods and position of jacks/switches. He's gonna have to replace all those DFAM pots, which is bad - I won't do any swaps with that guy again.
I made a chilli which went well but unfortunately Pat ill so threw it all up. Can't help but worry. Walking tomorrow which means I really should crack on with that track - some crappy ideas for a piano piece yesterday not really going where I want. Anyway John says he's doing a piano thing so I'll find something else. Pete meant to be driving by Friday to get his modular case and modules, he wanted me to go up on Saturday and walk with them but as I have quite a long drive tomorrow don't really fancy it, especially the Lakes tend to be rammed at weekends. Really hard to get anything done at the moment as I never seem to quite relax.
