Just call me 'Sticks'

For better or worse I’ve said I’ll do the drumming for Hannah’s Christmas thing. Why would I say no? I’ve been saying for years I’d like to play with other musicians and this is an opportunity. The shows are about what’s happening on stage rather than what’s happening in the orchestra pit so there won’t be too much pressure on us. It’s not like people are paying twenty quid each to come and see us in a stadium is it? Plus we’re being put together just for this show, so once the three performances are over we can go our separate ways and never work again if we choose not to. That suits me fine. I can deal with people for a couple of months as long as I know it’s a temporary arrangement, even if they’re complete arseholes. This is going to provoke me to practice more, as well. I love drumming and I love to try and get better at it, but I’m also a lazy sod so by the time I’ve got in from work and had some food I find it hard to drag myself out into the garage. I’d rather cuddle up with Philippa and have her repel my sexual advances. Now the nights are getting rapidly darker and longer it’ll give me something to do in the evenings besides sitting around moaning about the fact that I can’t go cycling. (I may not have mentioned this before, but I struggle somewhat through Winter….)
