Bugger - I was thinking of a different song (been listening to another one all morning...sad, ain't it?). Yeah, listening to Sunset again I know what you're talking about...so thank you. I spent a while on that one and I'm quite proud of it

Just been for a very nice walk. Old Amersham is such a lovely place.

Old places very often are. It's modern development that spoils the new ones.

Any advisories?

 

I know a bloke who had 5 years of advisories on lower suspension arm bushes worn, the same every year.

I've had 5 years of advisories on top mounts. I'll change them one day.

Aw I'm turning into the procrastinating Emp_Fab

A great weekend in store:

Saturday - Local agriculural show, so lots of old tractors and farm animals, plus falconry and "The Knights of Middle England" jousting. That'll be a great day out with the kids.

Saturday Night - I'm playing in one of my bands for the 50th birthday party for the singer in the other band, should be a great ngiht

Sunday - Cosford Air Show...and the weather forcast is getting better and better (it was looking awful earlier in the week). Second great family day out of the weekend.

I'll be knackered Monday though, so I've booked the day off :-)

Had something amazing happen today (which, sadly, I can't say here...not yet, anyway) which is going to significantly change our lives for the better. After the year we've had, I'd pretty much given up hope.

It's not a lottery win, but it's bloody close

Nice one @digitalscream well deserved.

Now down to the serious business. To whom and where do I address the begging letters?

Although...I need to pay off the generous soul on here and the tax man first, after all the dog-related expenses this year. 

Been talking it over with the wife all night, and I simply can't see a downside to this one.

Another big bonus is that I don't have to sell any of my remaining gear. Quite the opposite, in fact...expect some GAS from me by the end of the year

Awesome

Indeed In fact, in the grand tradition of spending money before I've got it, I've been eyeing up Soldano amps all morning...

Pay your guitar idol to give you guitar lessons! Edit - not saying you especially need them mind, just something nice to do with spare cash!

I'm moving to London next week and starting a new job on Thurs, it's my first time contracting but I've worked for the client before in a similar role so it should be alright. We've found a really nice (albeit not huge) place in the SE that we're aiming to be at for a good few years, until little feet arrive that is.

Ooh, where you going to be living?

I daren't say... it's got a rep still!

Might have sort of just kind of met Guthrie Govan, a bit.

What a nice bloke. This was after a clinic he did in Guildford, which was arranged by Andertons Music and Victory Amps.

Holy fucking Jesus, I have never seen anyone play guitar like that. He is unparalleled.

Cycled to work and back. Lovely sunshine and beat my record.
