Started this on Wednesday, with a view to adding bass and lead guitar on Sunday; then got an invite to sit in with The Los Dawsons at the Pelton Arms in East Greenwich. And this happened:
Me and Jerry from Ronnie Ripple & The Ripchords, with Glenn Tilbrook from Squeeze on lead guitar (and Gus Glenn and Dana Myzer from the Dawsons out of shot). So that’s a good enough excuse for me.

I’m not wild on the idea of New Year’s resolutions (January is surely the worst time to make radical lifestyle changes, even if you actually wanted to), so here are a few things I’ll be pleased if I achieve in 2013:
– make more photographs, or at least keep up the current splurge of photo-taking activity (plus the digital photographer’s perennial aim: print more of my photos)
– an early return to Wilton’s Music Hall.
– lots of swimming at the lido when it reopens
– the purchase of a bike (and, perhaps more importantly, somewhere dry to keep it), for riding to the lido
– write more for The Charlton Champion
– do more home recording (I have in mind a track a week, though this may be a little ambitious), and even…
– write an actual song, rather than just surf guitar instrumental doodles. This necessitates getting over the horror of writing words, though…
