Landed in new territory. fast first base established. old friends greeted. now back to work! :) if you pass by, please pause to say hi! keep the ki flowing!

so ... today there is plenty of work to be done but it is a beautiful day here, it has been a busy week and it is Friday. Time for the art of distraction ... and this site ticks the necessary boxes! So easy to come here and see what my friends are doing, try out the various new options available ... spend some pleasant time out. but then I hear that voice at the back of my head saying, 'Dave, this is not getting your work done, you will get behind, miss deadlines ... end up on the streets!' :) So back to work for this Friday slacker!

One of the aspects of this new venue that is really appealing to me is the ability to share music as easily as visual images. In the end much of what I have created or photographed comes down to trying to capture those elusive feelings, to generate an aide memoire for emotional or psychological states ... maps to find my way when I am lost or to guide others to places that I have enjoyed and want to share. Music has always been that for me ... a lodestone, a comforter, a stimulant ... a melt down and get yummy thing too. I hope some of you check out my offerings ... I will certainly be checking out yours!

Beijos, baisos, baises, kussen, bacios etc etc

Always after one of those falling headlong through work weeks the weekend arrives as though emerging through a singularity portal. One moment its stress and hassle, the next its wow where did that week go? Saturday morning ... I have lain in, broken my fast in a leisurely manner, done a little housework (I now live in a converted studio of compact proportions - so this is not too onerous!) and now checking out what is happening out there in vurt. I feel a second coffee coming on ... this week its Java! :)

Watched 'Breakfast of Champions' again on DVD this week. As Vonnegut's legendary sci-fi writer reads, 'Until you die, it's all life'. Which is simple, amusing and true. So, as I sit here in my little studio looking out at the garden, the late summer sun, washing blowing on the line (oh, the rewards of domestic industry),  I reflect on this. Fuelled only by  a mug  of industrial strength java and the certainty that  today  requires no  professional work (hey, it's a Bank Holiday weekend!)  I have the synaptic processing speed  and the free  memory to cope with these apropos de nada speculations.  Beyond distraction, a pause for thought.  Free fall  breezes from  the now.

Time to open up a new bag of Rio River Valleys to hit that mellow vibe. Happy Sundays to any and all!

Beijos!
