It’s been a while since my last post, primarily because of the Christmas holiday. This seems ridiculous but I think I lost a month or maybe a bit more due to that, and a variety of family events and circumstances. Which is fine, of course, but it does then take me another couple of weeks to get into the swing of things, and I don’t think I’m there yet.
I do need to have a sort out in the studio before I start working in earnest though, as all I’ve done is pick up stuff and dump stuff. The floor and the table need clearing before I can start working on anything. My main focus has to be my exhibition at RBSA. I want this to be an exhibition of current work, but also of work that can be sold, that will hang together as a coherent body. If I concentrate on sticks and stones there’s plenty to choose from. I will probably end up taking everything and seeing what works in the space.
I’m currently hampered by suffering a stinking cold, and could quite frankly do without it. It has sapped all my energy. So much so I have had to cancel a band rehearsal today. I love rehearsal time. And we have an in-store gig at HMV coming up soon. This will be a set of about an hour, so I definitely need the practice!
Like many people, I don’t do well in the dark wintery months. I know of quite a few people struggling to drag themselves into the light. As I get older it seems like a tougher task every year. Especially as over the last year my mobility has got rapidly worse. A knee replacement is on the close horizon for spring, so I am hoping for a speedy recovery so I can cope with rest of the year. It’s all a bit unknown and a bit scary…
But anyway… today I just have to think about today… I need to keep warm, rest, and drink plenty of water…
