I would have written sooner but the ink ran out from my ink pot and then my quill decided to disintegrate along the way. Bah!
I have been superbusy since we last corresponded my dears (yes i realise this is a bit of a one way correspondence but please humour me) the album artwork is being finalised (why do these things take so long, WHYYYYYY because i am a fussy so-and-so - that is why! ah you know how we women are, we can barely decide which colour shoes to wear let alone which album pics to use! - This is a more common dilemma than you think)
I have got a new classical guitar and have been playing that, its a strange beast indeed it is so much more sensitive than my steel string i'm not sure if we're going to be good friends yet, only time will tell. I study it warily, it is like a hollow beast mocking me I WILL OVERCOME YOU o nylon-stringed creature even if it takes me the rest of my life....
On the music front am listening to Judy Garland and of course Al Bowlly.
Al is never far from my record player he's my one true dependant that I can rely on when times are low especially now that winter's coming in...Judy Garland's sweet, I was watching The Wizard of Oz yesterday and I had forgotten just what an amazing film that was, the colours are out of this world, they just pop off the screen and the orchestration makes my knees go wobbly. God Bless ya all, the scarecrow's my favourite, although there's something about the lion that makes me want to pick him up and shake him!!!(Please no calling the RSPCA he's not real)
On the book front well, Im reading 3 books by Colin Wilson, who is giving me more of an education than I ever got at school....oh and my Showcase Presents - the House of Secrets.
The book is a compilation of old American horror comics from the 1970s, the illustrations are brilliant and the storytelling is even tighter! If you ever want some tips on writing a short story or a song or something that requires a tight concise narrative with interesting visuals I highly recommend you pick up an old comic book
ENOUGH I have said too much, now you know all my secrets...
