And so life returns to a more normal pace - with invisible electronic soundtrack
I am gradually coming down off my Ultravox high and depression at its being over is being staved off courtesy of several uploaded YouTube clips of the Olympia show and others. Good to see that Dublin are not the only tuneless crowd out there when it comes to the singing along. I am still smiling more and comfort eating less though than before the gig, when life was looking really very black (may I recommend the cocktail of economic crisis, unemployment and house moving for full appreciation of this damned credit crunch). so, retro-rock as depression lifting cure? discuss?
BB has been not sleeping well though and so much of this week has had that interesting underwater quality. Yesterday I had had about 4 hours sleep so my weekly swim was all rather slow motion. Is sleepy! One night's sleep is not enough to make up for the deficit (in fact I would swear that the first full night's sleep after an extended series of broken nights actually seems to make things worse).
Made very nice chili tonight. Aldi ingredients so far seem to be working out nicely. The sad thing about doing the austerity shop though are the number of places one has to visit. Now I have four lists going - not counting the separate butchers' list for the family butchers up the road. Would wish for a single stop shop to get all my weekly goods in but that is unlikely. Shopping is slightly less boring when it has an Ultravox soundtrack though. Luckily for my hearing the music is all in my imagination.
And might I just say, even though nobody out there gives a rats ass/arse, Radio 4's new website carefully adn methodically sets about sucking the big one. I was so infuriated by it's daft little internal navigation labyrinths today that I actually wrote a complaint(which I then had to navigate another 10 page clickathon to find and another four to post - stupid, stupid BBC creatures!)
