My mum has dementia and I took my son to lunch with my dad and then we all went to visit her at the care home. My son noticed a yamaha digital piano and played some stuff. Most jazz / swing versions of other stuff, plus his own compositions. Hearing him play, lost woods from ocarina of time in a swing style and all the residents and visitors asking him to play it louder and humming along.... Good Times

Took Harry to the cinema for the first time yesterday. Odeon kids club showing of Toy Story 4.
We both loved it! Considering he hasn't seen 1 - 3 I'd say that's a win for Pixar.

And as weird as it is, I'm kind of enjoying them.

But then this was a kid who had an imaginary friend called Jones who lived in the wall and had no skin.

Was watching the Rogue Traders bit of Watchdog Live and heard this vintage electro song in the background, I could've *sworn* it was an old early 80s Depeche track I'd never heard, deffo Dave Gahan singing, deffo Depeche funky synthy 80s beats.
Wrote the chorus lyrics down ("you've got to work hard, you've got to work hard..."), Googled "Depeche work hard"...
...and, YEAH, an old, NEW Depeche Mode song from 1983. "Work Hard". Apparently the B-side to "Everything Counts".
Such a smile. And song is fonky in that early Vincey Clarkey style of their very early 80s stuff. This is 1983. Might be Gore. Wilder, even. Who cares.
Think I'm getting my mojo for music back. Only taken me about six years. Aaaaaah, Depeche...

Pulled a sickie for the first time in ten months.
Never pull sickies normally but they've tried to pull a sh*tty trick on me so I'm doing the same back to them but the best thing is I'm off for legitimate reasons which they already know of.
Gaming time, resting time, healing time. You can shove next week's night shifts right up your arse, pencil pushers, I'll be chillin' at the crib.
