Sitting in the living room at Auntie Flori's - we're all here for the funeral which is tomorrow. There's an occasional air of sadness but generally things are okay. Think tomorrow will help give everyone closure and let us move on. Heading straight back home on tues on so it will be straight back to normality.
Trying to keep work and stuff going but struggling. Feeling totally out of the swing of things, and there's still so much to do. Not letting myself stress about it though. I'll do what I need to do, maybe not much more than that but with any luck I'll get through. Missing out on double bass pedal practise which isn't good - been keeping up consistent practice in the hope I can get up to speed for my performance in a couple months. I'll keep up some hand practice on my pad though and spend some time learning the songs. That'll have to do. Also trying to keep up my diet and work outs but that's proving quite hard with everything going on and not being sure of food times. We're only here a couple days though, so I'll just take measures to make sure when we come back over Easter I'll be better prepared to keep everything going.
Had a gig on Friday at the ICE band night which was good fun. Had a few people there to see me - Dan and Linzi (Linzi was singing with Kerry and Gemma Mac too), Chris, Craig, Kiwi, Marc, Scorgie and Gemma and Trolley boy Mark (text if I was out, let him know what was happening ha - why not?). Ske didn't want to attend anything ICE or Kerry related. Fair enough really. I had a good night anyway, and a decent gig. Did a cover of Many of Horror by Biffy and forgot my words at one point which wasn't cool. Wasn't the words I had trouble with really, wasn't confident with the chords, and was focusing too much on remembering them.
Watched beat Swansea 2-0 away yesterday. Good game for us. It's been an awful season though. Still a few points behind Chelsea and Spurs in 3rd and 4th, need them to slip up. Went out the Champs League to Bayern, losing 3-1 at home then winning 2-0 away and going out on away goals. Frustrating. Just not playing consistently up to our potential.
Mentioned the other day that I'd had a brief stint on Champ Man, turned out to be a bit more than that. Continued with my Rangers game, won the Champs League and stuff which was cool. Got a quality team. Then started a new game with Arsenal which was probably a mistake. Don't know if I'll keep playing it or not, there's a part of me wanting to but I really should be getting on with work.
About to go and get started on my project written piece. Still not entirely sure of what I should be doing for it but gonna go with the stuff Laurie's talked to me about to do with sight reading on tuned percussion. Also took some videos of me playing grade 3 pieces, in the process of uploading them. Will be glad when this is all over. (I know I've said that a million times...)
