Bad ADHD day - overwhelmed by to do list - distracted scattered thinking - spinning in ever concentric circles going nowhere
Met my lovely friend @stuart__waters walked back along the beach and later meditated in my garden
When I opened my eyes I swear the world looked and felt different
It was beautiful
I was content
Changing weather

With love, thanks and deep gratitude to @redladderstudio and @rivendellbc
Easing towards Chinese New Year on February 17th. Just realised it's my year - the year of the Fire Horse as it was in 1966
For the 60-year-old Fire Horse, 2026 symbolises “The Great Return" apparently when I feel an inclination to finish something that began in my 20's but was never completed.
Funny that ........ exactly what I am doing - bring it on (although I'm not sure "Death, Divorce and Childbirth" really the best name for an LP)
This is the year 6030
10 songs
5 written when I was 30
Revisited & rearranged 30 yrs later
5 written recently, 3 with @davidcharlesperry
8 solo home demos completed after years of not touching my piano or doing much singing
2 more to finish this weekend
EP/LP to record this year
When it's time it's time
Curious to see who and what Universe offers in terms of collaborators & finance

Grateful to sit here today at the turning of the year with my back to the west
"To earth and chalk. To wayfinding across this realm of forking paths. To deep time, our ancestors and descendants, extinct and returning species.
To those lost in conflict, named and unnamed.
To the young rising, re-imagining, shaping changes to come, forming new worlds.
To all our rememberings, regrets, hopes, joys and dreaming. To this present moment"

Lucky enough to be invited as a guest onto Leading Notes with Melissa Forbes

We discussed:
• The art of establishing trust and safety in challenging spaces
• Why healthcare workers desperately need creative toolkits

#womeninphotography India
Only a tiny proportion of women photographers are recognised in India and their work is beautifully disruptive and highlights inequalities, injustices and resilience.
Brilliant talk last night from curator @niyatee_shinde highlighting the power of creativity to hit where it hurts, to inspire and change thinking.
