March '25 'Whenever' Diary

All I did today was go to the local tip to dump a load of old carpet and put a pile of old metal out front for the scrap man to pick up - all part of the grand clear out plan.... Oh and I found a few more songs that I thought people might enjoy... well I did :) Finally went for a long walk in the dark, seems like my back is better now but no more heavy lifting... Oops apart from lobbing all that carpet into the skip at the tip!

I was just wondering in the middle of the video, what is the difference when pronouncing bass or bass (fish). 🙂

I admit that making that video wasn't easy. Well, the diary has to live on for many more months, so I'm happy to suffer for the diary.

---

Nice clean kitchen Aito, do you keep it that way or is there a Mrs. Aito? I know that if I was living alone I am not sure I would dare to video myself in the kitchen :D

When Mrs. Gee is away for a few days, I need a full working day before she comes back to tidy everything up again - and then the inevitable sentence comes out of her mouth: "why did you not tidy up????!!!!???" :D :D :D

---

There is a Mrs. Aito. (We started dating when I was 14.)
And the kitchen is actually a place I’m not allowed to go if my wife is there. 😁

I dared to shoot a video there when my wife wasn’t home. The kitchen is bright and the phone stays upright on top of the microwave, so it’s a good place to make videos.🙂

Wednesday 13th March

In 2018 I wrote a song called "I'm glad I don't live in the U S of A. It was not the kind of song I'd be allowed to post at wikiloops (too political and controversial) But I listened to it yesterday and I was amazed how the lyrics hadn't dated at all. I re-posted it on the original site and was surprised that it became a featured song - now I'm worried that the CIA might track me down :D :@

The SHAMMY Challenge is still hanging on with a few faithfuls - maybe I was asking too much, it's hard even for me to keep up :(

It's very odd but the bedside clock showed 4.44 yet again - what is it trying to tell me?

After this week I'll get back to some threads that I've neglected..... or will I start something new - I guess I'm a "Threadaholic"

I notice that the grass is going to need mowing for the first time this year but the daffodils are coming up and I don't want to chop their heads off.

Shamika attached the following image:

I love this time of year where I live, the wildflowers are starting to show, pretty soon the hills will come alive in a canvas of different colors, unfortunately though when the weather starts getting hotter everything apart from the trees turn brown so like all good things we enjoy them while we can. :)

Just time for a Thursday Diary entry before closing down. I couldn't sing much or listen to music because there were 2 guys working on the plumbing pipes, I even thought about recording them - driiillll clang clang thud - driiillll clang clang thud - cup of tea,cup of tea!

They'll be back in the morning but I have my next Challenge songs ready. I managed to do a minute of remix on Hartmut's latest, he was asking for ideas.... and I didn't have too many :(

I think there's a Lunar eclipse between 4 and 6am when the Moon disappears in the shadow of the Earth. I'm sure to be up at 4.44 am :) so I might see it.

Did you give them the good biscuits with their tea?

---

I didn't have any cheap biscuits to give them :D Anyway they've finished and gone so hopefully no more leaks.
* I was up early enough to look at the Lunar Eclipse but unfortunately there were too many clouds hiding the Moon.
* I fancy watching a good film tonight but it's so hard to find one these days, either they're full off bad language and talk/action too fast to follow .... or they're the opposite, very arty and slow and usually about someone with a problem or illness..... or they're very 'Hallmark' and the same old story line, people who hate each other at first end up falling in love <3 I quite fancy a bank robbery or a trickster thing or even a modern Western.

– This was a fun day. I had fun with a two good songs that I found on Wikiloops. I played them for 2 hours.

I didn't mix anything though, because I just wanted to have fun. I also wanted to learn how to play the riffs correctly.

- My little English practice paid off. Yesterday I spoke English and I was even understood. That cheered me up,

– The sun was shining today. Even though it was cold, I still smiled.

I'm waiting for the feeling of spring to take away the grayness of my mind. If you've seen cows coming out after a long winter, you know what I'm talking about. Soon I'll be jumping happily in the yard too

---

I made two songs today. One sounds terrible and the other is okay. I'll upload them tomorrow.

I spent the whole day making music, so there's nothing else to tell. I'm just happy that I'll finally get song number 200 tomorrow.

Sunday 16th March

* I've been working on lots of ideas at wikiloops today - it;s near the end of the Challenge Week, the most productive loopers were Gerry and Bradford, I wish it had been busier because it was fun.

* I'm launching JAMZAIR next week but I'm still working out the details in my head. Watch this space!

* Football tonight against TeeGees team, they're not doing so well so it's anyone's game.

* Today has been a good day for French wikiloopers Didier and Jamais... they both did great remixes that I didn't expect at all.

* I know it's St Patrick's day tomorrow but actually I don't have anything that good for the Challenge yet, I'm sure I'll find something by then.

* I must go now because I haven't eaten yet and 'The thing in the attic' is very off-putting as I sit beneath it. Had to more my desk back to this noisy room while the house is an the market. Take care wherever you are :)

-This was a good music day. I finished three songs,but I only uploaded two to the site.

-I didn't go to Ecrima practice today and that was a good decision. I was tired and now I could rest a bit. How good it felt to play bass all day.

-I ate kebab. I haven't had it in a long time.

-Now it's time to go to bed. I'll just watch the NHL game first.

---

Sorry Shamika, I think we were just a bit better on the night. I just hope that you'll keep Ruud as trainer, and hopefully you'll bounce back next year!

---

Thanks TeeGee, I didn't even watch the second half we can't score and we can't defend so what's the pleasure in seeing that every week. :(

I have to keep tidying and cleaning the house a bit more in case someone wants to view/buy it... but no-one seems interested yet, I don't think it's a good time financially to take any buying risks, but I can wait!

---

Because the numbers have dwindled down to maybe 2 regular daily posters, I've changed the title to "Whenever" I think a weekly post to round up your 'doings' is probably enough. I'm very grateful to the faithful few who kept it going for so long. <3 Shammy :)

Spring has sprung, finally...

I'm on holiday in beautiful Albania, therefore not online a lot 😊

---

I'm a little bit sick. A small fever.

I sleep all the time or watch netflix.
