Filing, Castle Park Drop

A quieter day yesterday. IU filed some of the Flatspace (and Future Pool and Future Snooker music), with music codes. I also worked out the structure for a new album, and sketched a new song for it, but it will need careful consideration. At the moment it's structured into three groups of four songs. The songs a recently penned, but mostly lyrics only. I now start with lyrics, then add music.

Today, a trip to Castle Park Arts Centre to deliver the paintings for the exhibition. My last exhibition there was 2021; I mainly miss them because it's down to luck if I should see the call-out on social media. I've accidentally missed the Castle Park Open, the Stockport Open, and the Three Counties Open for this reason, and I enter Bickerton and the Grosvenor because of their email call for entries.

It was a lovely trip. We briefly met the nice artist, and always reliable and well organised - which for me (and Deb!) are the highest of compliments - Ann Bonner there. We wandered around a few shops.

Once home, I completed my monthly backups, then sprayed an old frame black, it was brown before. Black on brown works quite well; black paint should have a medium or dark coloured ground to work best, blood red works well as a primer. This is for the Scarecrow painting. Then fitted a new plug to an extension lead, the old one disintegrated!

I need to complete The Candle Burns music, and a few other Fall in Green tracks, but I keep avoiding it. Life is too short for this. I must charge into it, then will upgrade SFXEngine.
