Better day yesterday - i promised self that if I did a little promotion work in the morning I could treat self to cafe lunch and wander round town. So I wrote some blurb for Songs for Dreamers CD, then did just that - I needed CDrs so there wss a work connection. Lunch and book in the EAT cafe simple pleasure tho it is was very centering. I then wandered round town for the 1st time in maybe a year - I didnlt buy too much as I;d splurged on Amazon the day before but I couldn't resist a Hepburn/Tracey box set reduced to 20quid.

I also promised self that if I didnlt daudle in town I would come back and have a play on my theremin and moogerfooger murf. This was also a treat.

My head feels better for the break and my brain feels comfortably inside my head rather than fighting to get out of it.

I also had nice surprise - my PRS royalty came and was about 280pounds! Thanks to visiting PRS man who saw me play at the Cactus Cafe that time. Foir some reason every tune I logged with him I got 90quid for! PRS royalties are always a mystery. Nice to note tho thet my Rendezvous with Rama got aired in Poland and Bulgaria (for which I got 3 pounds :-) )

In evening - still battling with my laptop - was doing ever so well til I reinstalled my midi keyboard and guess what? Windows now hangs on shutdown again (I;d fixed that last time by using system restore Norton removal tool). Tried to system restore this time to find all my system restore points vanished - neat. I will try uninstalling the midi keyboard software then i think I'll just say that my computer hangs on shutdown and that's just the way it is.
