It’s been a long time since I’ve done a non-music or photographs post. But nothing triggered it, I meant to do this one a while ago, it was part of the originally intended ones, or close to anyway. I was hoping to write it earlier in the summer, while there was no gigs and not …
Silence (22/09/2024) – originally ‘Silence is a killer’ Read More »
Well, the anniversary was on 24/4/2024, I think, but I’ve had a few hectic/difficult days since, so only finding the time and energy to write this now. It will be very short though, as I’m not sure there’s much to add to what, I believe, has been written elsewhere. Anyway, according to some notes (I …
I registered for the half-marathon on 12/9. It seemed like a gamble at the time, when I’d only done four times over 10k over the previous month (none for the previous 18 years…), the longest being a 13.4km run at the end of August at a leisurely 5’43/km pace. But I was getting faster. However, …
I have kept a sort of training diary that I will publish next, it was written ‘live’, and is mostly just the training routines and minute observations about every single niggle, pain, injury and doubts as they happened during the 19 proper weeks of training (you could argue I started a little earlier, but those …
It’s a nice sunny-ish day, mild-ish for the season (8°C right now at 2.35pm), though the mornings are still cold. The climate’s going mad as you might have noticed. Mostly going hotter, but sometimes there are some very cold episodes. Like about a week or two ago. Although, having said that, it wasn’t that cold …
I was initially intending to put some/most of this (there might be a bit of it still) in the now traditional (who am I kidding, since the other ones were all written early this year, it’s actually going to be the first music round-up that is made ‘live’ for the end of the year) ‘Year …
Well, if I didn’t know where to start/end the previous page, or what to put in it, I think I know even less for this one. Why? Because the first crisis was very personal, with no real outside human trigger, whereas the second was a lot more complex and long-drawn, less rapid in its fall, …
Right, I have decided that I should be able to open up about most shit that is now in the past. Personal shit, that may worry/scare or make people wonder, but that I own as my history. Whichever way, I think I’ve gone out of it not too badly. I’m not sure where I will …
“Armadillos are independent creatures, roaming around looking at the world, exploring and enjoying themselves. They have almost no predators, and when they are threatened, they just roll into a ball till the threat passes. They know they are protected from tooth and nail by their own armor so they have little worry. When the danger …
I think I have about three planned/half-planned posts. This one wasn’t part of the initial plan, but the idea came about later during the year. Mind you, I say ‘the idea’, but there is none as I am writing this introduction before writing the article not after. So I might touch on a few things, …
