Yello y'all.
vblog no.3
The third one's up. Took ages for me to upload it from out here amongst the old trees and fluffy rabbits.
Hope you enjoy it. I'm hearing you about more footage of house etc. In a couple of weeks we'll start to do that a bit more.
I'm still playing catch up on the vblogs as you can see about me talking about the iTunes gig.
Speaking of which...I've heard the recordings of that show and am pretty happy with them. I may even go all out and put the unedited, false starts and all up there. It was such a nice intimate evening and I'd like the whole feeling of the gig to go up. Not sure how we're going to work that as that makes it super long and some people may just want to buy the odd track...but hey.
Jogging...today. First time in far far too long. It coincides with sun filled skies and not fitting into clothes I did last summer. I ran out of the house and as soon as I did, I just found myself actually enjoying it. Why do we put these things off? In fact I got so excited about enjoying it that I was smiling and running which always raises a few eyebrows. Found a lake at the bottom of the park, some fantastic views of london and lots of little paths through the woody bits that I'd never gone down as a kid coz all I wanted to do (not an overstatement) is play the piano. I had NO interest in anything else whatsoever when I lived here as a kid....anyway....half an hour a day, that's all I'm doing. I don't know what's going to happen when it starts to rain but hopefully by then I'll be eating power bars, sporting leotards being so into it that, not going out in the pouring rain for my daily job would be deserving of a stint in the village stocks (which are still there).
Studio's you know...coming along. Not much to report there really. Just got to keep chipping (literally) away. The end of August goal is now looking to be in the other field and more likely to be mid sept before I can get my gnashers stuck in to any noise making. Has to be right though that's what I keep telling myself. This is the studio for life.
Spiders...there are so many of them here. Last night me and the largest house spider I have so far encountered were having stand off in the kitchen by the fridge. Well...it was by the fridge and I wanted to get into it... thankfully my arms are longm like the rest of me, so there was enough room to feel safe that It couldn't crawl up me as I leant across the floor with a bowlfull of leftover salad. Though... this one looked like it could have jumped no problem. It had special powers. So I was talking on the phone while this was going on and then...all of a sudden, with the blink of an eye, there were two the double equally as large. I thought I'd maybe had too much wine until they actually started to fight each other! Crikey. That made me shriek. Then one of them... squeezed itself under the skirting. It was so big that it really had to squish it's way under and seemed to go body first, legs second. I'm sure I can still see one of it's legs there now. Waiting to pounce. I know it's really silly to be afraid of english house spiders. They couldn't hurt anything but a fly. I can't even imagine it hurting me coz I know it's just a spindly leggy arachnid, which what makes it even more unreasonable. Anyway....
Next time...i'll get a little closer and a little closer until soon enough, me and my 8 legged friends will be going for jogs together in the park and joking at the dinner table.
Love fluv.
