Can't believe I had to trawl back to page 3 to find this thread!

Anyhoo, new job for me at work. Assistant manager-type thing, not a lot of cash but very good career wise. Happy bunny here tonight

May have had a beer or two to celebrate

Banged out a new song, chord progression, lyrics and all. I think it's actually quite good.

It's about goils. Well, one particular goil. It's not a happy song. But it is a song, and it's mine, and I like it.

Fuck girls-literally and metaphorically not to sound patronising but chances are you wont give a fuck about her in a month/year/decade sleep around, take drugs, drink to exess (if that's what you want to do) you got a song out of it-the best ones are always out of hardship.angst/depression! Enjoy your youth and don't be afraid of making a cunt out of yourself-did I say sleep around a lot? You're a long time dead and a long time married/off the market so enjoy being single-it's a blessing, as is being in a solid relationship but you've no one to answer to when single...end of drunken rant x

And I've just added a new bit, which is a bit more lighthearted... basically, the song is about what happened between us but also about how I now understand why people write songs about this stuff when it happens, because it's a good way of getting it out of your system. I've added a bridge with loads of references to songs with a similar theme to this one, and concluded it with "I guess you're just the kind of girl that guys write songs about". Quite pleased with it.

well, today I managed a whole hour of acoustic playing, without only discomfort to my damaged finger. Still looks like horrendous (imagine how a beluga whale looks, that's what my finger looks like in profile) but no real pain.

After trying for ages, I've finally got size 34 trousers to fit, without being excessively tight.

Yay.

Nice one! 

I added a few pounds for a few months and now they've gone everything feels much better.  It was "only" about 8 lbs too but it really makes a difference.

New idea for a home-brew guitar, which could be quite cheap and would be FANTASTIC.

my on going project over the last month or so has been to dismantle a large area of decking that the previous owners put in. It used to be the vege patch and it's my plan to return it to this. Pretty much all done as of today, got the last 2 remaining supports out that were in the way (there are others, but they won't be in the way so can stay for a bit). The building who did it didn't skimp on the concrete, the supports were only about 18" high, but the were in holes about 2' deep and about 18" across, filled to the brim with concrete. Got a good workout getting them out. Still, was a pleasure to be outside today, tee shirt weather it was. Finally started digging now, pretty compacted soil there, but deep. Should be all dug by next weekend if I can get a good run at it.

Also, just had a great fiddle day. All my fingers went to exactly the right spots and every note rang sweet and true, think I might like this fiddle lark.

I'm in Germany eating wiener schnitzel and they forgot my beer so they've given me two to say sorry.

WIN!

I was playing guitar with a girl I only met a couple of days ago. The other guitarist in my band knows her and recommended me when he heard she was looking for a guitarist for this gig. This was part of a night they do called Ruby Sings, which is all unsigned artists. It went well!

Little victories - just received an email that went to about 1000 members of staff on Manuel Handling. Nice to know I'm not the only person who doesn't proof read their emails.
