OK so I have done Strange.. Strange to think that it has taken so long to get this far.. a slow process full of pitfalls which really didn’t need to be there, but hey ho.. I will be glad to complete it!

How I did it: One day I just went along and I got up. Oh shit! I have never been so nervous. I don't play guitar, I play keys.. bad choice in these situations as though there might be a keyboard it may be particularly difficult to get used to a different touch, height, sound etc.. I needed an octave transpose and while I was figuring that out my adrenaline must have been flowing freely as when I started to play, my hands didn't quite want to do what … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went on a tedious three week course.. but I could touch type at the end. We had tapes which increased in difficulty, when we finished a tape, we brought our typing to be checked. If it was ok, we'd progress, if not we'd have to do it again. Aargh.. but as I say, once it was over I could do it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: So from humble beginnings - not being able to play a single thing by memory I realised that this goal of playing tunes suitable for the Majical youth Theatre Play in a Day had been met. now that's not that it can't be bettered - more awareness of harmony would be a good thing for example but I reckon I have credited myself pretty well now and that makes me very pleased..

OK days one and two nothing much to report but by Wednesday feeling double shit.. Here I am Thu and it’s been plain sailing. Had to refuse a couple of very tempting moments: at the service station, at the gig (cappucino) and a delicious cuppa made by Aditya.. but so far so good.
I lov e nothing mor ethat a nice cup of coffee made in the mug and … oh lovely.. BUT I am pretty sure that coffee and to a lesser extent tea are doing me in!! This is day one of reducing the caffeine: going to not drink coffee today, but will allow myself tea.. I’ve just read that caffeiene cold turkey is not good!! So it seems this is a good way to go by reducing rather than stopping all together. But I will try a month however as part of the whole plan to rid my life of horrendous mood swings associated with PMS (when premenstrual I seem to hit the coffee big time)
