Addendum

So last post I was a miserable git, this one I'm happier.
The cat vanished for two days. High angst and wailing with muttering on the side. She was found on the window ledge of the neighbours house. Lots of bonding with people I don't really want to talk to let alone know (the neighbours) ensued. This involved carrying heavy ladders, oh's and ah's as I nearly dropped the beast, and congratulatory comments.
Back to hating them all, Until today when I spent time driving a mini digger (BIG BIG FUN) and 'Doing' the road.
'Doing' the road is a bi-annual occupation. Simon (No.4) plays scoutmaster, and the rest of us are the pack. We buy 20 tonnes of road plannings and spread them as best as we can up the drive (400 metres). What I would dearly love to know is where the last 20 tonnes have gone in the interim? The road doesn't get any bigger, or higher. Perhaps they evaporate. Or get stolen by tarmac loving pixies... It's a point I ponder from time to time.
Anyhow...
I got Jim Tyrrrell's cover in on time, and he seems to like it. Of course then we all got a weeks extention and I'm thinking of re-recording the harmonies and tweaking a bit.
I entered a song for 'Cold Sweat' which has had mixed reviews, though Bolio seems to like it a lot. I have written an entry for 'As icons of my youth fall silent' which I might or might not get finished in time, and might or might not enter under another name...
So all in all I'm in a more positive frame of mind, and, and I haven't taken any mind altering substances to be here.
I'm starting beginning a project with Kapitano called 'The K Twins'. Must get my act together on this, as he's already demo'd one stellar track 'Does She'. His voice is getting better too, so I'll have to be careful or I stand to look at my laurels!
