Been a weird day.

Been a weird day. Works been weird, been working on tech - shaders etc. Coming home I found a big chuffin’ monster truck outside the house, and I mean OUTSIDE the house - right underneath our bedroom window - with a security guard on his mobile.

Spoke to said Guard, turns out its not a truck but a very large Electricity generator.
The Generator that sits normally silent to the side of the house is to be replaced and upgraded, meanwhile we have a chugging diesel spitting monster which is supplying power to the whole block. it’s a monster truck. CHUGGGGGGGGGGGGG….Did a say LOUD…HUH?

And its not going to stop for the next 3 days apparently.

Oh - Audrey looks like a pirate at the moment too - she some how managed to get something in here eye from the aircon in the car on the way down the motorway to the Gold Coast for a meeting. She thought little of it, but the pain got worse until she couldn’t see and had to drive BACK form the Gold coast with one eye and the other taped shut. Poor girl.

The other thing is, I’ve started singing again. I’ve been having vocal lessons to build up my voice and extend my range. It’s early days and the lessons are fun but just a bit short. I was asked immediately however to perform at a club, so I had a band rehearsal on the weekend - but somehow it left me feeling miffed. I don’t feel rehearsed at all. I have the song down pat for a performance in a club in town and now, having just had a very short rehearsal with them, which they all said sounded great - I felt - like, I really didn’t WANT to do it. Probably to do with the fact that this is a backing band and I’m just a number. However this should be fun right?

I’ve sang with a mates band in the UK once or twice - hullo to crush (available for weddings etc) - and it always felt good, a privilege. But not on this occasion. I’m wrestling with pulling out or staying in of the Christmas gig. I’m unsure why its bothering me.

On a plus side - Jack seems to have learned to swim Doggy Paddle in the pool at school. I haven't seen evidence of this yet and he's not always the most reliable when it comes to facts. But I think its cool if he has. Nice one laddie.
