Back Again

Hello all, its being ages I know and firstly let me apologise about that.
But work and all the things of life caught up with me and side tracked me into forgetting about my blog!

Well enough excuses let me tell you what's been happening.
Christmas was spent in California - AMAZING!
Was there over two weeks and saw about as much as I could, we went from the snow capped mountains down to Joshua Tree, a must for any U2 fan.
While there I had the pleasure to go snowboarding, great fun and I look forward to doing it again.

But I have to say the best part of the trip was the company, I and the lady hit it off and had great fun everyday, pretty much laughed everyday.

I have to say the worst part of the trip was coming home, 6 hours of turbulence!!!! And I was stuck in LA time for weeks after.

I forgot to mention that before Christmas the old band and its new member played one last gig! It was brilliant 'High Voltage' all the way. This has spurred us on to keep going, so we are back playing a few gigs and rehearsing, but I have to say the writing of song's is proving a tad more difficult than last time, onwards and upwards!

So after that the new year was just hell on wheels for work! It raced by.
I could not wait till May for it all to slow down again.
The highlight for me was a trip to Austria and Italy in April/May, a beautiful place, absolutely stunning, I was right up in the mountains. I could live there in a heartbeat.

Well now summers here and I feel like I'm at loose end again.
Well my new hobby is Golf, which is great 4 hours away from it all, but I suddenly have the fear it will not be enough.

PS About 2 days in bed would suit me right down to the ground!
I'm sure I'll think of some more things to say that will prick up your ears, but for the mean time bear with me, till I find my rhythm
And on that note I'll leave you with this gem!

PPS A big thank you to all the readers over the last year and a bit for all your advice and comments.

Days & Counting - Winter & I see my late come shining!

Winter is here and with it is the realism of how cold life can be and those around us. Lavish coats and the best fur hats can't keep out this factor!
I only bring this point up as someone very close to me is troubling me. The fact that they can only see me in a bad light and rarely bring any positives to my table, is seriuosly pissing me off! But I have no wish to argue!
This leads me to believe that this in one unhappy person and no matter what I do to please or avoid them something will always be an issue! So what is a good man to do?

Anywho....................whats been going on in my life of late?
Well I've spent a considerable amount of time in the air flying around europe (not fun) and working hard, trying to keep the beast off my back. The one bonus at the moment is that I have booked myself a great holiday - more details to follow!
And work it is, but I must look beyond it and see it as a means to an end! I must believe that there is something. I must act on my thoughts! I must act on my thoughts!

I have been in close contact with FBI Girl and we had the pleasure to catch the young and gifted Texan Micah P Hinson play there last week, we both agreed it was a great gig, but we we're a tad put off by the idiots in the crowd. Alas I got to meet Micah before the show so I was happy and he was a gentleman, and I wish him him all the success in his career!

So in between writing this I am packing again heading East so I best get some good nights rest (like that's ever gonna happen!)

Hope to talk soon!
So lets finish up with something warm for Winter! Again one of my fav's at the moment
