Welcome to Episode 186 of my podcasts The view from the crow's nest. And it is Monday the 28th of December 2020. I hope you've had a very good day, the bank holiday if you happen to be in the UK and possibly some other countries. Today it was good I got back on with work, which I really needed to start off the day with training with personal trainer and wasn't as lethargic or as, frankly, just splurge the fat lazy, as I thought I'd be after the Christmas munching and had a good session. It was actually dare I say it relatively easy. And I think that means I'm getting fitter, because it probably wasn't that much of an easy session, but that was good way starting off the day, and then had a shower much needed after that session, and did my got back into my sort of daily exercises that I started a few days before Christmas, back into doing Italian and then music theory, all sorts of different music theory exercises from bunch different apps, then I did my drum practice my guitar prep my piano practice. And then had lunch and then was like right must get on with stuff. And so, secluded myself back in the room and started working. I'm actually working. By the time I got to I did a bit of sort of administers. That took a bit of a while but I'm actually focusing on a little bit more and music marketing stuff at the minute for myself. And so coming up with a bit of a plan. So, as of January. In a few days time. I'll have a shedule of content that I'm going to be releasing. So, The first thing is first of January I have a new release on Spotify, which is actually a very old release, but re released. So my first EP I did in 2013. I put it on Spotify. And then I took it down some years later on, probably not even that long later. And then I had lost in 2019 yeah last year, I released one track, I think, a month from eight from that EP until I got about five tracks and then for some reason I didn't finish the sixth track can remember why. So now, the whole EP is going back on Spotify. On the first of June. And then on the, on the first Friday of each month. Subsequent to that I'll be releasing a new track on Spotify starting with my second EP grip the sky. So that will give me six months worth of releases, and by that point, I hope to have, you know, a blind eye to love the first track from that to release and onwards and onwards. So, that will be happening on the first Friday of each month. Then, on probably every Monday. I'm going to release a photo on my portfolio section of our website which is going to be launched next week. And this is because every year I do my calendar of photography, and it comes out of the blue, possibly every year because I haven't really been talking about my photography throughout the year. And so I wanted to make that a bit more of a regular thing that I'm actually doing something about it. And equally releasing photos. So I'll be releasing one every Monday, and that'll be available to buy as prints, or whatever, not the artist, but print prints, and possibly canvases as well, but we shall see. And I don't know where the people will buy them, honestly, people have indicated that they would be interested in buying prints, or having prints, but I don't know whether that will actually come to it, but my intention is particularly in this apartment we're in there's a lot of framed pictures and the pictures are mostly crap. But um, there's lots of frames, so my thought was well let's replace those with photography you know that we can enjoy the places that we've been or seen or whatever. And so I thought, I can kill two birds with one stone. I can buy a print, put it in a frame, put it on display here, enjoy ourselves and if somebody wants to buy it, then I can sell it and put another one in the frame and if they don't want to buy it. Then we've got some nice photography. So we shall see. So that's the plan for Mondays, and then on probably Wednesdays. I'm going to release a for the first time in a long time. I'm
