So... What oiled your gears today? ARCHIVE

[hellkat]

Finally got my lockdown haircut sorted out, at a really nice girlie Saturday-lunchtime hair-do session.

The hairdressery lady said that she had been asked whether she'd had any dodgy lockdown haircuts to sort out, but that until today, she had been able to say "no"

Got the keys to the flat and began the moving process.

I hadn't actually seen inside before, just took a good look at the pictures and did a driveby to make sure it wasn't pikey central - with two bedrooms and a garage, it was always going to be infinitely better than what I've been used to, but it was still a gamble.

Paid off though, I couldn't be happier - slightly quirky, but in a good way, all decent sized rooms and much more storage space than the pictures showed; only slight concern is the garage roof tiles, they look like they might be asbestos.

Got the first couple of van loads done, so all things being equal, tonight should be my last in the plastic prison cell

Just messing about, stumbled on a nice way to play Led Zep's "Kashmir", in D. No idea if it's right (if it sounds good, it is good, right? ), but in that key you can play around with all kinds of ways to play the main theme - holding the D chord (major, root on A) and walking up the bass line on the thick E string (now muting the A), do it with octaves on E and D strings, octaves on D and thin E strings with the open A as a drone, and then on the second part, open D drone with the melody on the G, etc etc. Fun to experiment with, will have to work on that some more tomorrow - plugged in this time! Ooh, wonder what that will sound like with some drive and the flanger?

My Triffids on the boat were having a feast yesterday with mossies, flies and a big fat spider munched.

The Sundew caught a large mossie last night which was still wriggling this morning. Digested alive by a plant.

I'm going to feed my home ones maggots tomorrow, The flytrap will love that.

I'm still in favour of replacing the internal light with a snail horn.

As good as that would be, dog eggs are a stronger message.

Wiring a horn to the internal lights will take ages and we've no idea how near by or far away the owners / users of it are.

I mean, they have put the egg bag on the ground right next to the drivers door. If they didn't want to find it on their seat again then they'd have put it somewhere further away.

Trowel it under the door handles.

But isn't a shitty seat is much worse than a shitty door handle?
