I woke up at my girlfriend's place this morning. In truth I woke up twice, but the first time wasn't late enough to warrant actually getting out of bed, so I slept again. Then I woke up a second time. This second time put me into a state of being a bit later than planned for the meet-up I had in Reading, but a quick text, and the discovery that the person I was meeting had planned to be about that late anyway, soon made the staying in bed seem the perfect choice.

Breakfast was sadly followed by departure. It's always a shame to rush off. I didn't enjoy that bit. I did have a busy day ahead, so I pootled off with a mission. The mission was altered slightly as the person I was meeting had further transport delays and rearrangements, but I filled the extra time that opened with a trip to the supermarket for luncheonings and a trip to Homebase for some vital equipment for a musical instrument I'm building - it's a percussion instrument, so not that complicted a work of engineering from my side.

Then I did an 8 hour recording session with my visitor. It was her music and her choice of what to do with it. I had some say in how to add to the second song we did, and I engineered the recording, which was done with my usual "guessing the technique" system. I taught her a few tricks and she seemed happy with the result, so it was a good day.

Though this will seem self indulgent, I then spent the night time alone with this very blog. I looked over the last six months or so and wondered at the sea change that has occurred in my life. In a month or so more, I think that I almost wouldn't recognise the home and financial situation I hope to find myself in. I should point out that I'm not moving house, just getting somewhere with the one I'm in.

These are exciting times and I feel positive and lucky.
