Back from Workhouse where work i did!

Workhouse was a lovely festival, dancing to The Don Bradmans, and Kaplick and Kilnaboy was most excellent x That was a good litter picking crew i worked with!

Now I'm back i have mostly been making vast quantities of skipped fruit wine nettle and bramble wine and ginger wine and other wines too random and odd to mention. Interestingly it was mostly made in a bath over an open fire so it should be good!!

Also i have been getting in touch with people Ive lost touch with in the vain hope that
i might salvage the scraps of life not spoilt by my reckless not keeping in touch behaviour.

The Manx national plant is Bollan Bane or mugwort and it grows all round my caravan i even wore some on Tynwald day! Now i want to know what to use it for so I'm going to do some research.

I'm also going to go to coed hills and get my mate Joe to teach me how to make and use a pole lathe.

Also this weekend i may try to delve into my subconscious and get into some dodgy hippy stuff!

I'm very happy because i played the bouzouki loads at workhouse towards the end and people didn't think i was shit even Dr Dave Damage who is a percussionist liked it, so my timing must be getting better. So also i plan to practice that a lot and if the weather is nice we shall have Ladies Dance Club, which men can also attend we just like the name, which is basically us teaching each other all the samba, folk and show dancing we know so we have fun and get some exercise, i cannot wait, if the rain will hold off for a few moments.
