Balance through distraction and experimentation

Another day where, due to the horrors of politics, I have little to do and little sign of change in the three weeks left in my current post. (It could be worse, by rights it should have been 3 months) Thoughts of the new job fountain up occasionally only to be obscured by what seems like an intolerable and ever extending wait for March to arrive.

Still, I've been able to find some balance, at least for today, by indulging in a few background tasks to make things decidedly more interesting.

Firstly, I actually may have found a piano. I've been looking for a week or two now, but started with little clue of what I actually wanted in the scheme of things, so I'm half playing catch up. Indeed, I seem to have missed one particular opportunity that would have been utterly perfect for me. But c'est la vie. Last night though I went and saw a piano that, whilst not perfect and in need of a tune, had a voice and a form that I very much liked. I'm going to have to ponder hard on this one before I decide whether its right, but at present I'm rather liking the idea, and I would love to be able to put my piano fund to good and proper use, given the loving way it was bestowed. So stay tuned on that one, I may well put up some pics soon.

The second element today is that in an effort to curb my own waste and waistline, I'm planning out some meals for the next little while, which will allow me to indulge in some brand new (and healthy) recipes. Cooking is something I just can't get enough of, and half the fun is in the planning and anticipation.

So there we are, an otherwise shoddy day made better by piano, the anticipation of good food, and the ability to prattle on about it all on a blog. You can expect some pics, some recipes and a much happier man now that the weekend is here.
