I spent the week leading up to Easter in the Lake District, managed to miss most of the snow and did some good walks. Stayed in Bowness as usual. The Bodega Bar (the only Tapas bar with Theakston's Best Bitter, hand pulled) continues to be my pub of choice on the evenings. We ventured into the Hole In The Wall for one pint, but found the same unwelcoming atmosphere prevailes as has been the case for many a year. A great pub ruined in my opinion.

The Easter weekend was fairly restful, although it's still taken a few days to get back to full power again. I'm back in my practice routine, with so many songs now to choose from I can't wait to get back out playing some solo gigs soon. The recording situation is good too. Every day songs edge closer to being finished, today it was a good vocal session on a new song. The web situation continues to bemuse me slightly, as Facebook changes again and I still yearn for the glory days of Myspace and Soundclick when I could invite a friend without being told off for it.

That's the current situation my friends. Slowly building things up, one piece at a time. Exciting things will follow!
