Welcome to Episode 173 of my podcast The view from the crow's nest, and it is Wednesday ninth of December 2020. I had a really good sleep last night. And yet, was knackered this morning, and I'm not good now. But the net result of everything was dude training with personal trainer late, like 10 o'clock star. By the time he finished that blahdy blahdy blah it's lunchtime yadda yadda. Yeah. And then I had the same problem that I had last few days, I could not export, my song from Cubase, which in non technical terms means I finished the song, more or less in Cubase the software I used to record my music, and I can save it, like as an mp3, which is right pain in the bum. Because this is I think the fourth yeah the fourth song that's basically now done from the album, still need to do backing tracks, backing vocals for all of them, and they still need mixing, but the work that it's basically done. So, I'm a third of the way there except for the backing vocals. And so I thought you know what if there's one option which is upgrade Cubase to the latest version which is another 100 well I thought 100 quid turns out 85 quid. So I did that but by the time. I then downloaded it, and had to download it and I took hours to download everything so the long the short of it is my whole frickin day was buying the upgrade Cubase downloading it, finding out thankfully that it then would export the track, and able to work again on music, and then that was basically my whole day. It was like dinner time. That's a fast rating. So, that's it, that that was a V for the craziest. However, on the fabulous note. My dad went to hospital today had the, the checks that were needed and got, he has a. He has a problem, but it's a very treatable problem, and is not the, the big see that we thought it might be. So that, you know, obviously trumps everything, so that's that's very good. So yeah, I, I had a good session this morning with Abdel. And then this afternoon. After I think two weeks I haven't left the house. My legs would have been the last few days have been telling me and I've been tingling, and they basically said look, dude, get out and walk somewhere we need to be used. So went out for a kind of half hour 40 minute walk. And it was raining but it was beautiful so nice to walk. And then when I got to the top of my walk I turn around come home and I did some Tai Chi some 24 forms, I kind of rushed it a bit. But it was great movement, it was a lovely waist turn and opening up the hips and growing the quad, as I call it, and stretching the legs out. So, that made me feel really good. So, despite the fact that I didn't basically do pretty much I felt I couldn't do anything today. At least it was some good news and some good things so that was, that's good. And now, this evening we had a video call with some friends of ours. In the UK, and we just finished. It's 20 past midnight. I'm super tired sumana super tired. And I know that tomorrow. It's gonna be like a copy of this morning and last night and today you're going to get out late and blardy blar. But, you know, at least we did a bit of socialising, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I've got my plan for tomorrow. In the morning, I'm going to rearrange furniture. So we've got a table in the lounge, which it just becomes a dumping ground is a big like circular dining table which we don't use as a dining table it is literally just dumping ground. We've tried to sell it, it's I mean new there it's about 100 quid I think it's a very nice table but it's pretty much worthless here we saw an identical one on Facebook marketplace for about 70 euros now wants to buy and. So I'm going to take it apart. And then some of the other stuff that we still need to get rid of, and that all the six chairs from the table, I'm going to put it in the storage room which is currently the music room, and instead I'm going to take out from the music run the piano and the drum kit and I'm going to set them up in the lounge, an
