Groundhog Day! (sortov)

this is just one big brain dump to hopefully help me sleep, even though there are a lot of things on my mind right now…

I’m not altogether too sure why, at 11.45pm on a Tuesday night, I’m sitting here watching the closing credits of Love, Actually.

But I am.

And what closing credits!

The Beach Boys ‘God Only Knows (What I’d Be Without You)’ is such a deliciously awesome piece of harmonised vocal.

And it is used to full effect, over the closing credits of Love, Actually.

Anyway.

Once again I find myself double-booked on the gig front.

This Thursday evening there’s a gig in Witney, and another gig in Bicester, and yes, of course, I would like to go to both.

I’m toying with riding the Bandit to work on Thursday.

The reason for this toying?

Because the weather forecast for Thursday looks reasonable; no other reason.

I went to my weekly guitar lesson this evening but, because my head was all over the place, and also, because I am shattered, it wasn’t exactly brilliant.

Pentatonic scales, chord/melody combination exercises and a big-up finish on Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish You Were Here’.

But although my heart was in it, my head wasn’t in the right place.

I wrote an email this evening.

Open, honest and straight from the heart.

If I could, I would recall it.

Despite the naked honesty the message is wrapped in, I’m a little apprehensive that it might go too far.

My fingers hurt.

From guitar lesson.

There’s probably going to be an Oxford Band Practice next month.

I can’t find my electronic guitar tuner.

Have you got it?

Oh yeah, and the decaf tea thing isn’t working (yet).
