Up early for a quick local TV appearance promoting the panto. I know the station and the team well, and the host, Sophie, was utterly lovely but I wasn't on great form. Just a little tired, the subject matter (the stuff I'm doing for charity) was nice but a little close to the bone...talking about why I'm doing so much for charity just 2 weeks after dad passed on is fine, but perhaps not on the telly.
Still, the station are keen on producing 6 episodes of the music quiz, so will get onto that for January. Next year is starting to fill up nicely, but it does seem like there's a real tussle for my time at the moment...it should be a good thing, all of these bands/venues needing me, but it's not, it just means I have to apologise a lot.
Went to the office for a bit but they sent me home after 2 hours because we literally had nothing to do. That's not a great sign.
Got back, had a cat nap and then started sending short stories to loads of magazines...could be the future?
Evening recording with the Dowsing band...long session in great company, complex and slightly unrehearsed material, but everything nailed as a full band within 4 takes. I don't feel great at the moment - Mum is getting really upset a lot (mostly because the hospital called asking to speak to my dad) and in return I'm getting very down about stuff, but I'm still drumming like a fucking legend.
