Woke up to a message from YouTube saying that our gig video can't be used due to copyright issues with two of the songs. They're drum covers, we're not claiming to own the songs, we're making money for charity but still - rules are rules, I guess. Cut those songs from the video and then had to frantically film all of my links again, at 7.30am, high on black coffee, to get it uploaded in time. It was actually all uploaded by 1pm, 6 hours ahead of broadcast, but it was still more stressful than it needed to be.
A year ago today I proposed to A, by far the happiest moment of my life. Who knows what will happen to our wedding? Nobody could have predicted this onslaught of shittyness that has happened this year. We're still really, really keen, even if our dream, lavish wedding, the day we feel we deserve, will be replaced by five people in a deserted church, somewhere. It's all quite upsetting, really.
Five lessons today, all really strong - A, who is a proper teacher by trade, was listening in to one of them and was full of praise, and she doesn't always give it. I know deep down I'm actually quite good at this, not just the teaching of the subject but the versatility to switch the lesson around depending not the confidence levels of the student.
Got sent over Greg's new album, which I drummed on way back in last August, and it's an amazing thing. Possibly a career highlight? It's so good. So, so good. Honoured to be on all 12 tracks, I remember the two sessions being stressful but it's totally worth it.
Evening, we got a takeaway, got drunk and fell asleep. I then woke up and did some more work on my novel.
