Quick look around

Hi, just a quick post to let you all know I’m still around. Just. Hoping to post more after December – well depends on whether I have work or not. It has been looking bleak in the contract market. but there has been the odd glimmer of something lately. Fingers crossed…

Apart from that, nothing really exciting has happened to me. I enjoyed a night in the Irish pub last week (excellent live music). Oh, and I bought myself a winter coat last week. For years I’ve survived winter in jackets, so it feels really extravagant to wear a coat.  It feels nice and cosy!

A lifetime’s search is over..

No jibes about after-shave, please! There is a piece of music, used often in film scores (eg Excalibur) that really annoyed me, as I could never find out where it came from. Today I found out who had wrote it. The piece of music is called Carmina Burana, and it was written by Carl Orff. Interesting article on him in wikipedia too – was he a Nazi, or someone who actually took part in the White Rose resistance movement? Never mind, it’s a piece of music I’ve always loved hearing. I suppose that means I have nothing to live for now? Strange old world…
