Me at age 3 or so.
My son's now that old. 3 and 4 months to be precise.
A bit smashed. Oh well.
Had rehearsals today which kicked arse. We, or rather I, had a plan which involved recording and doing some new stuff as well as the set, but which didn't quite come off. We did the set though, or at least did every song at least twice plus a few more and a few bits and pieces we had to work on. All good in the end except maybe the vocals. Have to do some recording next week and see what it sounds like, but we sussed out all the arrangements today, so a good day indeed.
Listening to a bizarre set of tunes on shuffle from one of my Youtube playlists. Well they're (mostly) not bizarre songs, but a weird mix. You can see what I was doing on any given night when I was downloading them.
Only a few more weeks til the baby comes along. Due on 8 December - but Blondie and The Pretenders are due on 7 December ! As I said to my beloved, "RPA isn't that far from the Enmore". I sat out of arms' reach at this point in time.
Took Chairman Stormy Jr to swimming lessons this morning. Since this term started with 8AM lessons, this has been "Jack and Daddy Time", which is great. He's much better at swimming than he used to be, he behaves himself now (and is toilet trained!) and his swimming teachers have all been attractive - and nice- young women. The current one is Ella and she's excellent. She's really good with kids and Jack loves her, plus he's going really well with her.
After swimming we have breakfast in the cafe, which consists of me having a coffee and a blueberry muffin, and him having a 'cake' - these chocolate gluten free muffiny sort of things, with large coloured sprinkles on top. Now that it's nice weather we sit up on the deck and watch the races in the big pool. Jack loves the whistle (to get ready) and the hooter (to start the race). Every time one or the other goes off we have to have a discussion about it...the same discussion usually :-)
This is all very homely, isn't it.
Oh well I am a homebody now. No more 5AM nights out, getting home and sitting on the front fence smoking cigarettes til the sun comes up. Probably just as well !
I did get to play in a rock band today and drink a few beers and hang out with my brother and mates so it's not all bad I guess.
Just heard "Girl Of My Dreams" by Bram Tchaikovsky. One of the great power pop tunes every. Now onto "Another Day In The Sun" by The Moffs, a great piece of 80s Australian underground guitarama. If anyone ever reads this go and Youtube them.
