4155 - Everything's working again

No plans for the day, then Vee got in touch
So I asked her if she could help me fix
One or two things on my laptop, not much
But I was too lazy, and she knows tricks
So I went round hers, and now it all clicks
Into place. Security, now sorted
Spotify's on phone and laptop, a mix
Of music that needs to be updated
I'll do that shortly. Also, what was hid
From view, files from my old laptop, we poached
From a March 2017 memory stick
And checked the remote hard drive connected
As it should, which it does. My laptop's such
A capable one now. What to do next?

4154 - Not mad on her

A fun day chatting to Jo, then going
For breakfast to Sainsburys, two fried eggs
Each, but no tomatoes, and then walking
To Tony Wilson Place, slightly late. Ed
Glinert had started his music guided
Tour, talking about New Order and Joy
Division, Buzzcocks, Stone Roses, and said
Funny things about them all. And the boy
Product of Madonna and also Guy
Ritchie, called Rocco, he was following
The tour with us. the product of her ex
I made a comment, Jo shushed me, but why?
Cos Rocco was right behind, listening
I don't care. Let him know Madonna sucks!

4153 - Rammed at Old T

A quiet Friday, few people about
In the office, time on my hands. I went
About 3:30, walked back to the flat
Had a quick tea, I didn't have to spend
Money on a takeaway in town. Then
Walked to Piccadilly to collect Jo
Met her just outside of Wilmslow station
We got the train and tram returning to
My flat, then caught a cab - laziness, you
Know - to Old Trafford. I could hardly wait
To see if Derby could cause an upset
On Man United's home turf, but soon, 2-
0 was the final score, and we were out
Of the FA Cup Third Round, all hope spent

4152 - Play for today

Still feeling good after last night's fun show
Got home tonight, a beer and guitar play
It's bloody cold though, so now I won't go
Outside any more tonight, no, no way
It's so bloody cold that I have to say
I'd like to go to bed and lie snuggling
Under the covers, no more work today
Just feeling good and only relaxing
I must admit my mood is now changing
Things seemed bad at New Year not long ago
In terms of my prospects. I couldn't see
Any grounds for hope in my performing
I may have no gigs but now I feel so
Much better in myself than yesterday

4151 - Ace of clubs

A great night at the Carlton Club. I sang
I played the uke, even did a solo
And for the first time, pictures as background
All got laughs, audiences like me, you know
So what if cliques reject me, so it goes
I've done my time in my mind, ready to
Bare my soul, move people, I can disclose
What lies beneath, not rehearsed, now and true
Based on long years, freed from society's glue
I felt at ease both playing and singing
On my own, not a gang of mates, oh no
Purity no-one can deny, some blue
But also plenty of red and yellow
Soon I'll let truth reverberate and ring

4150 - Going nowhere slow

Woke up real early, too tired to say much
Maybe of late these have become boring
Anyway. How can I spice them up, touch
A common nerve rather than just listing
The unimpressive thoughts and deeds going
On in my head and life, going nowhere
While still going places when travelling
But always coming back to this sad lair
Not that I want a partnership to share
Life with, just fun friends will do, when I budge
From the flat, which ain't that often, wanting
Company isn't a major need. Dare
To do what I want, no-one else can judge
They do what they want, so it's the same thing

4149 - New Meh

Fun night last night without drinking at all
Except for tea, that is, which sustained me
Quite satisfactorily til the toll
Of the bell and the fireworks in the sky
Four films watched yesterday, but comedy
Was neglected. Today I tried to put
That right, doing some drawings, now ready
To send to the compere. Hopefully it
Will interest Wednesday's crowd, should make 'em sit
Up a bit and pay attention, a small
Advantage over just speaking, to see
The act can draw as well, and also flirt
With uke and singing songs. Heard the football
Results, now to choose which old film to see...
