about

If you liked my previous album Wiltshire then rejoice because this one should be the same idea - but no one liked my Wiltshire album, it got zero downloads, so really for the sake of my music career I should change direction but I am the sort of contrary cuss who does the opposite of the right thing so I shall make albums like this for the next fifty years or until I die, whichever is shorter, which I think will be fifty years.

I haven't even heard this album yet - I just pressed some keys this morning, did the same things that I did yesterday to yesterday's keyboard-pressings, cut the result to length, and here we go - oh I am in a much happier mood today compared to yesterday - yesterday the gasman arrived at 5-40pm and he took over an hour because the flue in the loft was falling over or something and by the time he left it was virtually my bedtime - what a waste of a day - yes I spent most of it lying on my sofa reading, which is the same way I spend almost all of my days, so why did it feel so different ? - it just did - knowing that someone was going to call and take up my headspace and real space and I tried (and succeeded) to be cheerful with him and I tried to get into a friendly chat because he was the first person I'd spoken to all day but he wasn't very forthcoming - I guess he meets lots of people who are wanting a chat and I can't blame him for being a bit fed up with us - all the lonely people.

I mainly forgave him because he seemed to naturally think that I still work and that I was working from home today (yesterday) and I didn't want to tell him that No I am unemployed and unemployable and couldn't bear having a boss and can't be bothered to work for myself and by wanting nearly nothing you can survive on nearly nothing - but that's good, to be incognito - he asked me what I did and not for the first time recently I claimed to be a musician, knowing that he will immediately think of Taylor Swift and people like that, but I told him swift-as-a-taylor that I made music for Open University programmes and he seemed to believe me, and I now don't want to let him down, that is exactly the sort of musician I am going to be, maybe it's the type of musician I have always been - so yesterday ended okay, and oh what a contrast to have a day like today when I don't have to do anything at any time or wait around or be trapped into anything, god every day short of the hospice is going to be even more treasured now.
