Part 18 - Creeping onward

[edz]

Well good afternoon all

And yes its a lovely sunny one here in Dorset today, been busy with work and a few other projects.

So yesterday repaired an old macbook and sourced a Roland Midi input music keyboard from Gumtree for £5 (needed some repair on the USB board but only took 10 minutes) so got the macbook sorted with Garageband and set up in the new office so there's a nice platform to start learning / playing keyboard and sequencing again (another on my little stuff I'd like to do list).

W and S back as expected, some awful driving experienced from fil apparently but a good weekend had otherwise I believe. My joke pressie was laughed about although apparently candles should have been purchased Other than that w was telling me about s and his love of the recliner chairs they had there and his playing minecraft pocket at every opportunity. W said am I taking him swimming (today) said no problem if he's not too tired, w said come and pick him up, I almost always do this so I said well pop him round then I don't need to swing by in rush hour (wont hurt to see the changes in the house - whahahaha evil laugh twirly moustache) so, ahem, yes...

Other than that Ive been having some issues with my hands - think its all the work around the house and swimming (chlorine) but they've been very dry and cracking so got myself some hand repair cream which seems pretty good and isn't fragranced (makes me sneeze and have allergies to some of them).

Had had an awful night on Sunday as I mentioned so was shattered by bedtime and after reading for 10 minutes was out. Really good sleep and although reluctant to get up (and finding a very asleep BFT draped on the bed) dragged myself up and on with the day this morning.

Pushing through the workload (in my new home office which is much much better for my stress levels than the chaos of the makeshift stuff and boxes jammed everywhere) enjoying the sun and the fact whatever was going on with my digestion seems to have passed now.

I'm in my slim fit t shirts now which feels ....odd.... after wearing billowing or "wide" fit tops for years having clothes that are *supposed* to be a little clingy is odd and a little disconcerting.

Got the media player on mix mode and a large glass of water and feeling pretty good today, catch up with everyones sitches later.
