A slow day. I keep feeling I'm hardly producing anything or anything worthwhile, perhaps this is common. I know I can produce so much so quickly at times.
Today I cut and glued a new frame of the old painting No Good Ideas, the old frame was one of my 'first generation' ones with visible screws and generally not as well finished as I can make now. This uses the last of my wood.
Then, some cover art for the new E.P. which I had the new title idea of 'nightfood' for. Here's one draft cover design:
I also spent some time looking for my original data disks for my Yamaha SY-85 synthesizer, I would like to sell it and get a replacement with more octaves and less weight, for future performances.
Then vocal recording for Dreams Of You. The melody is so slow that the vocals sound rather operatic. I need to get used to them.
The Chinese translation for The Intangible Man & Other Stories has arrived so I'll spend a few days working on that. I also have these painting ideas to draw out.
Bad news about Covid-19 in that the Astra Zeneca vaccine appears to be almost useless against the so-called new variants. This must inevitably mean that the new variants will become dominant, perhaps quickly, and with a population without vaccination, the pandemic will be the same this year as last year, lockdowns will continue for perhaps another 12-months, and that plans for 'opening up' this summer are forlorn. We shall see.
How I miss Deborah.
My Nantwich Museum Exhibition has provisional dates for November to January, all Covid-19 dependent.
I need to make ambitious plans for the coming days, if not months.
