Welcome to Episode 168 of my podcast The view from the crow's nest. It is Thursday third of December 2020 welcome welcome welcome. So further to yesterday's podcast yesterday's thinking about the situation in the house and whatnot. If you want to know more about what I was banging on about then feel free to listen to yesterday, I decided this morning when I woke up after doing the washing up that I was going to. So, bit saw the house a little bit, because we still have remnants of the when we moved in and we put stuff in certain places that really doesn't need to stay there. So, mostly what I did today is just shuffling stuff around, rather than actually getting rid of stuff, which is the next stage, but at least in the shuffling around. We, the Fung Shui of the place is better. There's a bit more space. And just things are a bit more. One organised and or two more ready to get rid of, you know, they're more at a point where psycho got to do this. So, I think that will you know we've had six weeks or so where we haven't really done anything with ours and I think a little boost of getting some stuff done will make us all feel a fair bit better. So that was my morning and very productive when it was and then lunch came around, as it does which is fun, which is nice. And I'm attempting to eat less because I'm doing these training sessions three times a week, but my belly doesn't seem to be contracting our muscles are growing but my belly is not my belly staying the same so I figured out maybe eating a bit too much and I'm also trying to be a bit healthier so this evening was, you know, steamed vegetables first and then something else which I can't remember what it was. But nonetheless, it's a good start, you know that way. And then in the afternoon. I then worked got a client's website up and ready and out to them so that at least we're moving forward with that for audience ninja. And then I focus really the rest of the afternoon was on kind of admin II stuff but admin II stuff with regards to my music so I got a sheduled, a release on Spotify side, years ago I'd released my first EP six songs on Spotify. Then I took them down. Then I released them, bit by bit as singles. The idea being I was gonna release one basic I think one a month, and then start coming into my next tip and then releasing that etc. And then eventually getting to my album a blind eye to love. So that first EP is called they come and go like rain, and I'd released five of those songs and then realise today the last one I released was a year ago in November. So I was like god there's only one more song to release and that's kind of bottlenecking, then releasing grip the sky. The, the last EP I did. So I set that up for release, so they come and go, rain, the full EP will be on Spotify, in a couple of weeks time. And in doing that I also started looking at prs prs is the UK is music copyright collection society. So in theory, if you're owed anything for having your works performed then so long as you've got those works registered with prs which is as a songwriter, not as a performer, Then you get your songwriting royalties which, you know, I probably not do anything, but nonetheless I put, you know, kind of, because I've now got they come and go like rain coming out I wanted to make sure that the, that is connected to my prs works thing. And then I registered. Another 12 or so songs from the blind eye to love. And, and then got six more of them are in grip the sky, kind of ready so that when I release grip the sky that they're connected. And that was just a whole bunch of back and forwards. Yeah, pretty slow system but crossing my T's and dotting my eyes and whatnot. And then there's another society called PP L, which is for performance so if you performed on a recording, or you perform live, then you again might be do some kind of royalty. So I started the process of registering for them, which is just a complete bootleg because it's like the end of it, they're
