Day: March 24, 2026

First real album I ever bought or that I’d admit to having bought 🙂 –

Some great songs –

‘Lovely Rita’ – How come the beatles knew my mother?

‘When I’m sixty four’ – Used to be on the other side of that!

‘Getting better’ – Everytime – Hopefully true – Still trying

‘Strawberry fields for ever’ – Have visited those fields – Lovely

‘With a little help from my friends’ – We all need that

A day in the life – “woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head” – (No point these days) – Made my way downstairs and had a cup and looking up I noticed I was late …” A day in the life!! – James Joyce made a good book about that

We get to that piece of art and the rest of that great song soon

If Murakami can use song lyrics as inspiration then it should be good enough for me too

I do have further comments to make on ‘Does Art help’

There is no doubt here that Art helps – Whether admiring a piece in a gallery or creating oneself. For a while I kept a journal of artistic activities – That could be visit to cinema, gallery, play or creating a piece of pottery – Seems so important to insert these sort of activities into a daily life – Have done some drawing and painting and even pottery classes over last 3 years or more – Time to create some of my own work – Project for summer … if weather would only improve. As the wise one said there is no bad weather only bad equipment – 2 days writing – That’s an artistic endeavour – Will try to keep it all going

That’s for next few days –
