I seem to have been rather busy over the festive season but things are settling down now. Today I spent some time making a vegetable cobbler. I can assure you that it tasted a lot better than it looks here. I think it will take a while to get the blog momentum moving properly, but at least this is a step in the right direction for 2011.
Vegetable cobbler
I was saddened to learn of the death of scum threebeards, the barman at the Ragged Edge venue in Second Life. I shall be playing a gig there tonight, as usual on Thursday, and I shall miss having a chat with him while I set up on stage. Of course, I never knew him in First Life. She-who-must-not-be-mentioned suggested it might be similar to when you feel sad about a character in a novel dying. I suppose there is something in that, although in Second Life you know that there is a real person playing the SL character; in a novel there is no such person in First Life. A slightly closer analogy might be to learn of the death of a stage or screen actor who one only knows through the roles they play. Be that as it may, I shall try and sing a song in his memory tonight. Somehow, I think Rod Stewart’s ‘Sailing‘ might be a good one.
