Didn’t have time to write for the last few days. You’ve not missed a massive amount. The Royal Mail shares I was seconds from buying at £750 are now worth £1100, but I’m not going to cry into my keyboard over it – might play along the next time a decent opportunity comes along, but I actually find the whole IPO thing a bit risky and distasteful. Free money, however, I’ve never had a problem with.
You may have noticed that the second epic essay in the 50/5000 series is a little on the tardy side – again, this is down not necessarily to a lack of time, but more likely a lack of planning and scheduling prowess on my part. I’ve set aside Thursday night to knock this off – T has to go to Bristol for work on Friday so is quite rightly staying at her mum’s over the weekend. Let’s see just how much creative-type stuff I can get through while I’ve got no distractions, eh?
Important music-geekery news! I’ve FINALLY managed to isolate the problem with Logic around monitoring of output /and/ recorded tracks, and can now record multiple tracks of guitar/vox/whatever over previous ones, studio style. This paves the way for ridiculously precise, complex and layered guitar pieces, similar to the ones I’ve had wandering around my head for the last few months. Quite how they’ll fare on the vocals front is another matter entirely, but with enough scotch and an empty house, I may even give it a whirl.
Work is fine – I have a few case study visits to do end of this week/beginning of next, which will see me wandering distractedly around post offices and a big hole in the ground they call Crossrail. Could theoretically prove interesting I suppose. Things on the escape front are looking more promising, with a contractor of ours talking quite seriously about offering me a job in Bristol/London/home-based (and fully commutable from Plymouth). It would be a hike in salary from here, but I’m ready for that. Inertia doesn’t suit me, frankly.
On that subject, I have a bunch of shit to organise, so had better skidaddle. England-based flutters are placed for tonight (four easy ones, a total of £4, nice and easy). I also have another small flutter linked to the success of the first one but including Bayern Munich’s walk-in-the-park in the Champions’ League the following week for another £10
