I woke up at a decent time this morning. Don’t know why as I was up pretty late. Don’t feel too bad either so far. I’ll take that. I’m having a friend round for a BBQ today. He is one of only two other musicians in the place I was working at. Ever since we met, we have discussed the finer points of Heavy Metal and different tunings. It’ll be good to have him round. It’ll also also be a good opportunity to get the garden tidied up. Left it for a bit again. Again. I love entertaining. We always did. It will be the first time we’ve had someone new round in… Well, months, I think.
It made a nice change to feel comfortable enough to really talk freely to someone other than my newly adopted family. I’ve not had that for what feels like forever.
I’m so out of practise with my social skills. I get over excited when I know I’m having people round. A little bit pathetically so sometimes. It still feels weird that after months of lockdown.

Didn’t finish this yesterday so I thought I’d just carry on. Doctors this morning to look at my ear. I hope it’s not permanent… I couldn’t stand having to live with this. I’ll need to plug my left ear when listening to music or playing guitar. It also means I won’t be able to mix my new songs. No stereo… Ugh. Screw this for a game of soldiers. Fingers crossed then…
