I went back to the computer course today, late as usual.  It was a recap of what we had done before today, so it was a bit boring I guess as I have done this many times.  I maybe on the wrong course I guess as it seems geared for beginners, I am not going to learn a lot but I suppose it gets me out of the house but I probably need to be doing something else I guess. The wind is very cold today does not feel like spring at all I am sure it will chanbge quite soon.  I haven't seen the painter yet he is suppose to be coming back and finishing the wall he didn't do the last time he was here. I am still struggling to understand the form of the music I am trying to make which I suppose until I do I am not going to progress.

I have started giving things to recycling site, as I have a bit of stuff I don't need.  I decided to give away a mixer and audio mixer which I was having difficulty using as I was struggling with understanding how it worked, also the plug had broken one of the pins had snapped off.  I advertised it on the site called freegle. Eventually I got a response from a chap who lived locally and he came to get it a few days later.  He said he would fix it he took a couple of other things I was giving away too. I was glad to get rid of them I am not a fan of clutter, I have some stuff in the shed which I need to get rid of I have failed to get rid of it on the recycling site so its going to end up in the bin I guess. I think my bvother is coming round to pick it up this week some time, like I say I have tried to give it away but no luck. Anyway, going back to the chap who picked up the mixer. I got a message through facebook the other day from a lady who said the chap had passe...

Well my visit to the swimming pool went smoothly today, no being locked out of the pool and having to get dressed again like last week and nearly falling out with the receptionist.  It was also empty which was nice so no obsturctions swimming all over the place. The smell of paint is still here and there are a few failings in the job but in general its ok.  I have patched up a bit of it, I guess it gives me a job to do.   There was a chap here earlier who said he was here about the cladding job on the house, which to my stupidity I said I knew nothing about and he checked it out and it was a mistake I wish I had shut my mouth and then I would have got some new insulation, I guess that's how it goes. I will get new fittings and things around the house outside.  I think they were only done a year or two ago oh well its up to them it does seem a waste of money which is what these public sector set ups are good at doing I guess wasting money, as its not there's I sup...

Well I have got that superfast so called broadband today as it will be the same price as the old so called slow one due to a deal and to the fact that the other one is going up, well that's what I was told and that's what I believed which I am more inclined to do these days and it has nothing to do with me being more trusting I am sorry to say.   Well it is faster like they say it would be I guess you need a new comp to get the real benefit of the thing. I have also had the house painted too just to brighten the place up a bit as it can be a bit gloomy in here especailly with the fact that the place gets alot mould due to it being damp and colds here a lot the time, I don't know how long the place will stay this bright but I guess all I can do is hope and try to keep it clean kind of thing. I just wish I could move my health situation forward as easely as I have been able to do the above things. Well I am going to have a rant now about bad people skills there are a ...

The local Co-op sells things off cheap most days due to use by dates etc.  I saw this pasta sauce there today and it was cheaper than its usual price, I did not check the date I assumed it was in date as it was on the shelf, I was wrong, it was out of date.  They said they could not sell it to me as it was a day out of date.  So I am presuming that that it will get chucked out now as its not possible to sell it.  Maybe they could give it ot the local foodbank or something, I still would have eaten it even it was out of date it was only a day out of date.  There must be so much food wasted due to regulations or rules or whatever they called like this.

Well I am very happy with the guitar I bought the other day, which came through the post, It is a bit risky buying a guitar from the Internet as, basically I haven't tried it out, I am buying blind kind of thing, I did see it on youtube and I have been looking for a dreadnought for a long time, and it seemed to be recommended by the guy who was playing it, but he wasn't a salesman.  Anyway luckily is has worked out ok. It is a lot easier to play than the last one I bought, which was also done through the net, I live in place where guitar shops are very few and far between.  I was hoping if I threw a few more quid at the problem it would be better and it has proved to bed that way.  The action is great, this one also seemed to have a fast attack, it hit the tone very quickly this was pointed out to me by a friend I had never thought of looking for a guitar in relation to the attack, so I have recently learn ed something new, I think it must be something to do with woo...

Seem to have a bad belching problem, apparently it can be caused by anxiety.  The anxiety might have been caused by the dog's dinner of a gig last night. It took place with a dreaded PA system again, they are not easy things to use I find, the sound is all over the place.  Anyway we were not being paid for the thing so it wasn't that a big a deal.  We all seemed to be struggling, a lot might be down to a lack of rehearsing I guess. and inexperience with using a PA.  My mistake was a bit basic though I played the wrong chords in one song, I think the noise of the PA got to me and it was just a din, I was a bit confused why my guitar was sounding wrong then I worked out half way through the song that I was playing wrong chords as someone said, it was a bit avant garde.  It did say on the instructions it was in D not G but I guess I am used to playing it in G I am not a fan of the song really I think it fails to work, but what do I know I guess, maybe I am getting ...
