Gigged on Saturday night with the 'Wedding Band' at St George's Hill, Weybridge. A 50th Birthday party. I'm sooo out of condition. First set was about 90 minutes. Halfway through the second set my left hand started cramping. And we still had to play 'Beat It' complete with Eddie Van solo. I don't know how I managed to fake it, but I'm glad no-one noticed the odd dropped note or two.

This past few years, since Dad's illness, I haven't had a guitar in my hand for three or four hours a day every day. Some days I don't play at all. Last week I picked up a guitar for a total of about 4 hours before the gig. Oveseeing the redecorating of the flat and the move into SWMBO's house has left me with little time to play. This has to change.

On Sunday, Milady and I went into town to pick up paint and then went home to clear the house in preparation for the shelves to be installed for my books. Whilst moving stuff I managed to drop a bed on my foot. I don't think it's broken, but it bloody hurts.

Soddit.

May all be well with all of you. Do good things and strive for excellence. As for me, I'll take a few painkillers and follow my own advice.
