Week Four – First unknown album

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Al got the choice of album for the night and went for Yes – Close to the Edge.

I wasn’t surprised by the choice and had always been put off by descriptions of what sounded like three hour keyboard solos and Bill Bailey’s tribute to Prog Rock.  But I quite liked it.

Sounded a bit rough at first and wasn’t sure how much I’d get into it and admittedly the first track is 17 minutes long…  I enjoyed it though (especially Siberian Khatru) and might even listen to some more but I don’t think I’ll ever be a prog rock fan.

Week Three – Activity

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Right.

This week’s challenge is to fulfill a promise you’ve made to someone – do something that you told someone you’d do and haven’t actually done yet.  Sound fair?

I am constantly promising people I’ll do things for them and regularly forget all about it.  And when I remember I get all embarrassed and/or ashamed.  And then I just hope that they’ve forgotten too.

My lovely friend Lorna is going to go and do some mission work with students in Malta and needs to get some funds raised.  She has asked me to do a painting for her to auction off.  So I’m going to.  I already have the canvas (although I might be a bit short of paint, as usual…) and plenty of inspiration – I don’t expect to finish it this week, but I want to be a good way into it by next Monday.

As usual, if you are joining in, let me know and I’ll let everyone know how you got on.
