Getting better

Although my cold is at its worst so far I have been in a better frame of mind today. I went for a walk to pay some money into the bank (a good thing in itself.) I took my headphones and listened to Smokin in The Pit while I walked. It sounded like the best music I had ever heard and put a big smile on my face. I also saw one of my favourite people on my way to the bank - the ubiquitous Gap Tooth Smiler!

Gap Tooth Smiler is a chap who I would guess is in his seventies. Whenever I go for a walk this year I always seem to end up seeing him. He is always smiling and looking happy, wearing his hat and more often than not enjoying a cheeky ice cream. Hopefully I will be as active and cheerful as him if I make it to that age!

Shortly after I got home the postman came and delivered the latest issue of Modern Drummer - always the happiest day of my month :)

I'm meeting a friend for a curry tonight. He used to share a house with my brother when they were both medical students in Leeds. We used to play music together from time to time and he's staying in the area every Wednesday at the moment. The plan is to have a nice curry and then possibly call in at a jam session. I'm looking forward to it.
