They’re after my nut’s!

Fantastic week :) the money came back from dolphin, they didn’t tell me it just appeared, I hate it when I have more money in the bank than I think I should have more than not having enough. Not having enough i can cope with. So quick as you like I got a new xio ordered and all is well with it no dodgy keys and I really like the sound it reminds me of a synth I had back in the 80’s (roland alpha juno for the gearheads) nice and bright with some big ole bass on it as well. Ash ended up in the paper as his school gardening club have got through to the final of scarecrow competition, they are being treated to a trip to Hampton Court Palace as well I was asked to go but am working shame I fancied that one.  I am almost at the stage where I can start to work on the running order of the comp I have just about finalised the last few tracks and artists. I had planed on not really looking to my immediate contemporaries but a few conversations I have had this week have realised that this might not have been such a good idea as I was excluding some music that has been quite important to me personally over the last few years. Strange how things take on a energy of their own and a set of boundaries set at the start suddenly become obsolete, just needed a prod to see it. I had a totally amazing experience this morning me and Fern where walking through castle park and as usual there where loads of squirrels about someone had been feeding them so they where quite close. By chance I had got my camera with me as Fern had taken it to her archaeology club this morning so I thought I would try and get a few pic of the squirrels. For those who don’t know I have always really digged squirrels ever since I was a kid. I even wrote to the forestry commission when I was 8 asking them if they find any orphaned baby squirrels could I have them as pet’s. Now I got this really nice letter back stating that they would make bad pets and they consider them to be pests so they would not get that kind of treatment anyway, in so many words. But they did send me a poster all about the woods and do you know what not one bloody squirrel on the whole poster! Anyway back to the story I was trying to take a few pic’s of this squirrel eating it was probably 10 foot away at the time. Well it started getting closer and closer and quite literally ended up in my lap a completely wild squirrel. I managed to take  few pic’s when I had finished I got up and we where surrounded by at least 7 of them all getting really close, a few even followed us as we walked away. It was one of those moments when you feel really honored that they where so comfortable with the contact they where that confident around me and Fern.
