Blog: Action Packed Weekend Of Action

Phew! I had a busy old weekend this week. The Items On My List was away for most of it, so i decided to THROW myself into Administrative Duties in order to keep myself occupied, and also to start getting myself sorted out and back to normal again. The trip to Australia was SUCH a big deal that it rather pushed everything else to one side for quite a while, and then when I got back i was COMPLETELY KNACKERED, so I hadn't really got round to getting going again. Now, I felt, it was time to BEGIN.

THUS I had a frenzied fly into town for various purposes, not least to lay some groundwork for CHRISTMAS. When i got home I had a MASSIVE sort out of paperwork, Personal Filing, and ROCK stuff. I began my glittering career in academia as a secretary, many many years ago, and though I pride myself STILL on my audio-typing and Professional Telephone Manner I do have to admit that filing is NOT my strong point. INDEED i sometimes wonder whether my first boss was SO good about getting me to learn Databases and that BECAUSE he wanted to get somebody else to do the filing. Still, I got it done and felt GOOD to have sorted it out.

Next day I did the Tesco Shopping, and again it felt GOOD. Sometimes it's only when things HAVEN'T been normal for a while that you really appreciate how GRATE your own personal normal really can be, and i LOVE my normal life. Oh, the carefree joy of going OFF-LIST and getting a bit of posh bread for tea!

BUOYED UP by this I spent most of the rest of the day working on the Multimedia Aspect for the next single, which all worked out surprisingly easily. As well as all the usual lyrics and annotations it's also going to have the video for The Gay Train, a LIVE CONCERT, and - at last - the demo version of Hey Hey 64K, the sequel to Hey Hey 16K which I wrote earlier on in the year and then abandoned. I listened to it again last night, and was Fairly Chuffed with it.

So yeah, it was all PRETTY DARNED GOOD and I'm feeling pretty NIFTY - and tonight I'm off for a pint with a Legend Of Indie! It's GRATE to be back!
