God it’s been a really bleak few weeks, this Gaza business has really taken the wind out of my sails. I’m fortunate enough not to be involved or have anyone I know involved, Israeli or Palestinian, and I would pray for those poor folk if I was a believer, or sing if I was a Belieber. Not sure why I’ve mentioned this really but it really drains one keeping up to date with the horrific events as they unfold, I can’t imagine how awful it must be to be under the threat of seemingly relentless bombardment at any un-given time.Poor people. click… click…click… children and innocents maimed and murdered…click…click…click… Horrifically abhorent.

With these two wars extending protracted without end into the distance both in Ukraine and in Palestine its easy to coast zombified through the dark depressing winter months, light a fire, open a beer and stare at the telly, sleep, work, repeat, again and again until the  mirage of spring shimmers and the smell of the genesis of spring fills our nostrils. But thats a long way off, best knuckle down, ignore the idiots in charge and try not to darken the mood of my millions of fans with my winter woes. 

“We’ve all got fucking problems mate” 

Thankfully mine are minuscule and not on the scale of what really matters. In fact the only issue I’m having right now is what I’m going to cook tonight. Christ I’m lucky.

Love to all the folk having a really tough time.
