Welcome to Episode 130 of my podcast. The view from the crow's nest. It is Tuesday the 30th of October 2020, and hopefully you're doing fabulously so yeah today. I mean Groundhog Day at the moment. Well, ish. So it's just, I wanted to get up I wanted to get stuff done I wanted to get cracking I wanted to be productive. And I guess we achieve some things today but it's just never enough. I'm particularly wanted to do music and I basically didn't. So I did clear out the storeroom here or the smallest little room nurse in this apartment, which was like the last thing that needed really clearing and tidying it was basically a dumping ground for by the previous owner my wife's art now deceased It was a dumping ground for her stuff so it was just a complete mess in there. But we cleared it out, and now the complete mess is in our lounge instead. Similarly, cleaned the bejesus out of that room, and now potentially well not potentially now it's going to be our music room when our stuff comes over from the UK, and by music room, we may be able to fit well we will be able to fit the drum kit in there, like the electronic drum kit, we may be able to fit the piano in there and that will be it. Pretty much, so it's very small, but if we can get that in and there'll be school sort of very excited about our kids, we're very excited about that and you know that's the last of phase one phase one with this apartment is cleaning it. Phase Two is getting rid of stuff. Phase Three is getting all our stuff in, and putting it in place, and then phase four is resuming some semblance of normal life. So, that took the morning, and then start even know what did the rest of what I did I do know that I worked on the calendar. I've selected a bunch of shots and my 2021 calendar and started editing the photos. So I've done maybe about half of them actually so I'm not too far off, finishing the photos for the Canon serchio was quite a chunk, then organise some stuff with my mum and dad for the removal guys picking everything up in the UK on either Thursday or Friday this week. And then we bought a couple of bikes secondhand in Castro victory. We had delivered Leonardo's first by Hitler balanced bike, and we've potentially found by which we can look at tomorrow for Mina. So actually, that has been quite, I guess quite a lot being done it just doesn't feel like it doesn't feel like it doesn't feel like it's anywhere near enough. And then I actually Well sort of accidentally wrote a song in 10 minutes. Same as putting the kids to bed I just finished in I picked up the guitar straightaway my fingers went to something I don't know what, and then I came up with a song so that was really cool. Got the melody got the chords first and chorus, have no lyrics but that's fine. So, so I guess it was a bit of music in there but I'm feeling. I'm feeling so for one a better word musical at the moment like I really feel like I could create song after song after song I just want to focus on music. I spend a little bit of time on audience ninja client stuff today and trying to get a team doing stuff. While not trying to get into stuff that I do stuff but I mean trying to get stuff done. But my heart's not in it at all at the minute I can't get my head in it. I just want to be creating music. So, if I could, I'd wave a wand and just do music the whole time. Unfortunately, I can't. So I'm gonna have to find a way around that at some point. And then there was one other thing which I've subsequently forgotten. Although if you think last couple of days I've been listening to Richie kotzen, who I amazingly had never heard of up until a few years ago about four four years ago I get some of that. And I went see him in concert not knowing really anything about him just somebody said it's good. And it's one of the best gigs I've ever seen and I was like this dude is like a cross between Prince and Chris Cornell, like he's got the voice and the look. But, Chris Cornell had. But he's a vi
