Shane McGuigan Dot Com Reloaded

Eagerly awaiting the results of today's by-elections. Hopefully the tories will get absolutely fucked... 

Had a fun day today. Did some artwork for Mervin, some music with Ray, and a fantastic Kung Fu session with Wayne and Cleve. Currently having beans on toast with Bets. 

 

I suffered a pretty nasty elbow injury about a week and a half ago, but I saw my osteopath, the lovely Luke, yesterday and he says I'm okay to resume some light training. Very much looking forward to tonight's Kung Fu with my brothers, even though I won't be able to go too hard. Had a good demo session in the studio with Ray yesterday, and band practice is on for tomorrow night. Evenings of hanging out with my friends and doing what I love - I'm feeling blessed. 

I can't believe it's 2023 already. Year has gotten off to a good start though, with lots of training done and also plenty of work. Looking forward to resuming out band rehearsals after my next week if leave. 

We've had something of a cold snap here in London. Hopefully it's going to thaw out a little by tomorrow. At work now, planning to do some training when I get home, and then chill out with the cats in front of the fire. 

Today I woke up feeling well rested after a wonderful eleven hours in bed. It's not often I get to sleep that long, but after the week I've had, I really needed it. Even the cats knew that I was best left alone, and didn't hassle me for breakfast until I got up of my own volition. Collected Raymond and headed down to the studio for a rehearsal with the band, which was great fun. It's all coming together quite nicely, and everyone seems to be enjoying it. We've been very consistent for a while now, and it's paying off.  After that, quick lunch and into work. I chatted to a colleague I haven't seen for ages while I hitched a ride with him. Sometimes my colleagues talk about football, politics or work, but today we talked about gratitude and Buddhism. I left feeling refreshed.  Hoping to get out of here soon, I have training in the morning.
