I can understand that. Don't think I've been that low, although last winter was pretty bad and I lost the ability to look after myself at times.

Same here satzy. It's the old OCD at work, I think.

I'm really pleased for you Jackie :l. Hoping to be able to say the same thing myself some time soon.

Being a husband/father and being an alcoholic don't really go together do they?

My Pa was an alcoholic and I adored him. Mind I adored him even more when he stopped drinking.

Right must stick couple of pies in the oven.

Not be long.

No need to overthink this one me luv... you can do whatever you feel like doing. Pretty much what you can do now with your life and career... YOU are in the driving seat. ;o)


So Zenee... I did me race, drove to Glasgow...parked right beside where the rehearsal was to take place and because I was early went for a wander down Kelvinside, getting into the Kevingroove of a Sunday afternoon... and I thought and I thought and I realised I wasn;t going into the rehearsal... 1pm passed...1.30pm...nope, i was late and i wasn't going in.

Is that so bad of me?

The gig's in a month or so. They can re-work it. It's not a contracted thing or anything like that... and as much as I AM interested in different types of live spoken word performance and would like to attend the gig... the writer, the poems were just... i just thought they weren't anything wonderful. Indeed some felt a bit cringey. So i need to email them to say sorry.

It's a hard one to know when you need to do something for yourself (I don;t want to do THIS particular stuff/poetry performance) and that takes priority... or when you should do something because it is the right thing to do despite how it makes you feel. And also (and this was what i was toying with) whether we need to do things as a "way in" ... but then I thought I could still go to the gig and there;s nothing ever stopping me from applying to do an open mic session slot... so, what's this issue there?

Still feel a bit guilty all the same...

Have to make a start on a presentation that I have to do next week. It's to a so-called SIG (special interest group) for the part of the IT industry I mostly operate in. Better make it good - who knows what may come out of it further down the line if I need to start looking for a job.
