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…<\/em><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

But I am.<\/p>\n

And what closing credits!<\/p>\n

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

And it is used to full effect, over the closing credits of Love, Actually.<\/p>\n

Anyway.<\/p>\n

Once again I find myself double-booked on the gig front.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I’m toying with riding the Bandit to work on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The reason for this toying?<\/p>\n

Because the weather forecast for Thursday looks reasonable; no other reason.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

But although my heart was in it, my head wasn’t in the right place.<\/p>\n

I wrote an email this evening.<\/p>\n

Open, honest and straight from the heart.<\/p>\n

If I could, I would recall it.<\/p>\n

Despite the naked honesty the message is wrapped in, I’m a little apprehensive that it might go too far.<\/p>\n

My fingers hurt.<\/p>\n

From guitar lesson.<\/p>\n

There’s probably going to be an Oxford Band Practice next month.<\/p>\n

I can’t find my electronic guitar tuner.<\/p>\n

Have you got it?<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, and the decaf tea thing isn’t working (yet).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
