After days of rain and humid weather the garden has gone a little crazy, and none more so than the roses which are looking spectacular. I have at least five rose plants, but this gorgeous red one is my favourite. Because I leave early for work and get home late in the week, I don’t always get to check the garden. If it has been raining I know watering isn’t required, so I tend to stay indoors. More fool me when you see the garden coming into bloom at this time of the year. Anyway, I spent time cutting the grass tonight, and really enjoyed just being in my garden. Note to myself… Must do this more often!
Carrying on the garden theme, I took my recently framed photos of Mike Peters of The Alarm using my guitar at the recent gig at the O2 Oxford Academy. I haven’t got round to hanging it up in my living room yet, so on a nice Spring evening I thought a photo in the garden would be a good idea. Mike Peters, who has lived with leukaemia for over 20 years is currently recovering from a bout of severe pneumonia, which for any cancer patient is potentially very serious. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and hopefully it won’t be too long until Mike is back on stage doing what he does so well x
Vinyl album update. Pre-sales of my debut Fields of Dawn album are now at 8. This leaves another 42 for the magic 50. Once the final track is finished along with the artwork for the cover, I will be ordering 50 (more if required). The more of these 50 that I can sell, the less of a financial hit I will end up taking, so all support is greatly appreciated. All profits from every sale will be donated to Bowel Cancer UK, Love Hope Strength and The Bowel Movement. I do have some really exciting news about the final track, but I will wait until the track is finished before spilling the beans on that.
I do have some things that I want to say about friendships, but I think I will save them for a later date as I am currently experiencing some conflicting feelings at the moment. It wasn’t too long ago when this would have caused heightened anxiety and been a big trigger for me, especially when it comes to feelings of loneliness. The progress I have made has put me in a much more robust place to cope with this. I try not to dwell on the things in my life that I have no control over. So I’m all good š
One final thought today… It’s about 19 months since I had my last alcoholic drink (there is still so much I have to write about my relationship with alcohol). I have been thinking recently about when to have that first drink, and perhaps that time is not too far off now. However, after going so long without having a drink, I would like the first drink to be on a special occasion. So I am open to ideas and offers! š¤£ Until tomorrow x
