A sense of calm. Knowing where you are going to be..or more to the point...where you are not going to be.
Plan ahead and move ahead.
I spent this morning moving stuff from the spare room to my room in anticipation of the tradesmen going in to decorate...which I still need to arrange....slowly and surely...all that is left from Fife is being repacked and redirected until what I have is almost ready to put to storage...a long term financial committment I have now...I guess dad didn't realise this was what would happen. I am happy with it though. Sad?....more melancholy as I see what is left after so much material...but at least I can see an end in sight.
Tomorrow, we work on the flat...I continue the clear up and sorting...Stewart will be doing the wood work...and then all will be fine. Well...still need to plaster, paint and cover the floor of the spare room...then furniture...something on the horizon potentialy..so I will keep on that one.
But...no rush and no hassle. How nice it was today to simply chill...after the work...to watch tv..to text chat...to sleep...and then up again. A blessing indeed.
It seems I have a day off next week....being a bank holiday...what to do..?...garden?...that would be nice.
And no show tomorrow either...since last Sunday was the finish...a relief...a block of time that is mine to do as I please....again...a blessing.
I feel calm...but I am not overly healthy...I need to switch from jacuzzi to gym or swim...no more excuses really...today I went to the pub and had only 2 pints of Tenants...veering away from Stella...and no Stella at home....just Tenants...small measures....but at least I am trying.

Fog
Good grief....very foggy today...waiting on washing (I know...totally rock and roll!!!) to finish and then down town to pick up train tickets and my camera which has been repaired...or it had better!!
Listening to LTJ Bukem...from ages ago....think this was Frances that turned me on to him all those years ago..poo poo'd it and then tried it...hate to say it...but she was right...damn...that took 10 years to admit...well done me!!!...but it is nice and low key drum and bass...excellent for a foggy Saturday morning.
So much has been going on and so much to decide over the next seven days. I think the decision will be the most significant in my adult life and my professional life. Details not necessary just now for a whole number of reasons but a lot hinges on this week. Travelled to Edinburgh on Wednesday for an important meeting...I had seen reports of the farce the trams have become...jings...glad I don't have to commute through that every day...total disruption and chaos...all the buses are off. Huge cranes with drill bits at the most hectic part of town..Haymarket....mess and stoor everywhere...can't quite describe it....and to think it is like that all the way from the airport to Leith...I don't think any of it has been really completed...lots of workies standing around as well..sure there was a good reason for it though....yeah right!!!
In all my time in Edinburgh...whether living near Napier, with Frances or down in Ferry Road...10 years...I have never been as close to Tynecastle Stadium in all mu life!!!..and there I was right next to it....damn...didn't like it...amone the Hibees!!!
A suit is an unforgiving thing....specially when you haven't worn one for a while and have obviously not been exercising....could hardly sit down for a bit but managed after a while...and the heat...just as well I chose a white shirt....bloody hell...long day...hot day...a good day.
Was thinning out some storage stuff..again!!!...and came across a whole load of documents from dad's death...and the house...that was difficult...still smelling of fags though...but they are now gone and I have a stack of my documents to file...I am going to have to knuckle down and move the stuff in the spare room into mine and put up with it to let the decorators in to plaster, paint and electrify the room...can't keep on messing about....managed to save some money now so should be able to do it...once done....can look to furnishing and then possibly renting..although I can manage financially to date...the money would be good though. And the garden...having a push on tomorrow....remove all the cut grass and (actually, I don't know what it is) the pile of stuff from the previous owner...then the tarp and corrugated iron can go...and the tufts are ready for strimming...but not tomorrow.
Then my last show...with Grace guesting....looking forward to not having my Sundays cut in half and feeling crap on a Monday....but more...it feels right....I feel something will happen now this time is free....strange that really...but my gut says to do it...so I shall.

Must do better
going to the jacuzzi/steam room/sauna does not constitute exercise...more is the pity...but then if it is all i feel like doing then that is all i will do damn it!!!
Really enjoying coming back to my space and nesting....got the tunes on most of the time...trying to eat healthy as well.
3 shows to go and looking forward to it...what to do with that time...a full Sunday...not worrying about where to go or not and the implications therein. Hurrah!!!..just hope Steve can be persuaded to come on up...you know...I have been doing this for almost 8 years...here and at Pitlochry...and some of that was when I was at Strathyre...crazy when you think about it...but then....maybe it was more easy to hide in a studio for a whole day than it was to be around people...hey ho...I did it...I enjoyed it...now it is time to move on to something else....hhmmm..but what?
Been offered a whole DJ rig....good quality by the looks of it...and from other's opinions....but where to store it....how to move to a gig...is there a demand for my type of music..and...having just given up Sunday gigs at SHMU...why bother doing that if you are going to take on similar responsibility with later finishes and a lot more involved...hhmmm...mibbe leave for the noo.

Foggy
Well...here I am up and ready to go to work...and it is cold and foggy!!
Ah well, should be fun. A small group expected and a nice wee job to do as well....and I think we will be firing up the storm kettle as well.
Not that many shows to go on SHMU but I do have some guests lined up...Louise from CSO...Simon form the team....Grace the vol and one other.....was hoping it was Steve but I don't think that is going to happen...which is a shame..but it does seem like work and personal life seems to be unravelling around him...damn.
Waiting waiting waiting...for that letter to come through the letterbox...hey ho....keep calm and carry on.
