…just for my darling Daddy P. I’ve knocked off a few lumpy bits and polished some of the rust off…. D-trip take 2. If you want any more done to it – do it yourself – I have a roof to build (take 3 at the weekend probably). I didn’t surf today. There aren’t enough [...]

Introducing the Green Bullet…
January 28, 2008 – 8:53 pm
…not a grass hued, speed orientated doer of daring deeds but my new harmonica microphone. Coupled with my new Fender ’59 Bassman valve amp simulation pedal I can now sound like a genuine bluesy type person wah wahing my way into the night…. I’ve posted another audible offering for your aural delectation. It’s my first [...]
All it takes…

…is a little bit of motivation. It’s very easy to spend your life looking down, focusing on your work, your home or the tiny things that fill your day.

I’ll make more of an effort to be miserable today… I probably won’t surf today…. *sniff*

Complaints department…

There are several reasons for this gradual slide into blogging obscurity and none of them warrant an apology, retraction or excuse of any kind. I believe [...]
Serious Sunday…
January 13, 2008 – 5:50 pm
…taking a page from my father’s book (mostly so that he doesn’t get a chance to scribble any more festering drivel) I shall be taking a more spiritual path today… I feel that it’s time to expose my innermost core to my brethren out there in the blogiverse. A chance to expand and enlighten – [...]
