Written yesterday

Roughly 30°C and a gorgeous day, and I finally make my way out into the owrld mid-afternoon. I’ve spoilt myself with a café brunch, and sat there over a coffee while working out a shopping list that roughly stays with within the budget I’m going to have to live within this week. Next week’s budget will be even tighter, but the I think of the riches I have at hand, and I really cannot complain (or feel no need to).

Without the distractions of consumption (and how I love consumption, guilty pleasure), I have many things to concentrate on: new songs to learn for singing; new (and old) songs on the guitar, a blues harmonica to begin to learn to play; a recording studio unit to play with (and figure out before next weekend when on eof my singing teacher’s other students may be coming over to record something); a smorgasbord of CDs to listen to (and organise into the new shelves I have for them); a stack of books waiting to be read; editing workbooks to be completed; books on self-esteem to be read, exercises done; cats to be patted; long baths to be had; bike rides to be taken; T-shirt designs to b e thought up; tatoo designs to be researched; ideas for new projects to be written down; posts for the blog to b e thought up; generations of family photos to be scanned; new photographs to be taken; interesting ad hoc song lyrics and guitar tabs to be googled; and a selection of TV programs to be watched.

And in there, I shall fit working on a new assignment for a design studio that I haven’t worked for before. New people, new location, a reasonably long assignment. It is a good time for me to break old habits. I’m looking forward to this week.
