Also, I was still very upset about something a friend had done and I needed to process those feelings. So I did what I usually do when I need to think - jumped into Moon Palace on a whim and went off for a couple of days!
I went to a small campsite near a bird reserve which I love called Slimbridge.
On Monday, I sat and wrote a song about my feelings (I've posted the words already in my parallel blog here Song Lyrics - see link on right) and worked out how to play it. I hear the songs in my head first then have to find the notes and chords on the guitar or piano.
On Tuesday, I spent a few hours at the bird sanctuary until the tipping rain forced me to leave!
This was the biggest swan I've ever seen - this doesn't convey it's size but it seemed nearly as tall as me!
On Wednesday, I went to songwriting group as usual and had a band practice in the evening. It was good to start working on some new tunes. Tonight I have a meeting with a successful Bristol singer and she's going to give me some much-needed advice about getting tracks played on radio etc.
Amazingly, this week I've slept like the dead - this morning I woke 10am - absolutely unheard of for me so I must be much more tired than I realise! Usually I sleep maybe 6 hours if I'm lucky and this week I've been sleeping about 8 hours every night - weird!
Anyway - I've sold quite a few CDs and it's exciting sending them out to different destinations round the planet!

So - have a happy weekend whatever you're doing - I'll be going to some gigs etc as usual and hopefully trying to organise some new smaller gigs to keep the momentum going.
Bye for now xx

You have a wonderful week-end yourself. I plan on going to visit my Mom tomorrow and have lunch with her.
It sounds like you just had the let down blues after all the preparing and work you had to do to be ready for the gig and all of your family and friends. It happens to all of us now and then.
