Bought a bass guitar, should be here tomorrow.

No, I have NO idea what I’m doing.

Intellectually I knew they made hollow body bass guitars, but I’ve never actually seen one that I can remember. That looks really cool.

Good luck with your musical journey!

Nice one! What’s the first song you want to learn?

Lessons start on Thursday so we’ll see what they have me start with (scales, I’m sure! LOL!).

If I could pull any one song out of the ether and play it perfectly it would be Higher Ground.

Either version :)

Oooh I like it. I’m sure your teacher will cover this, but I’d definitely aim for the Stevie Wonder version first. The slap style that Flea plays is great fun but it’s very hard work on your hands if they’re not used to playing bass

Swimming started 2 months ago and I’m only eating up 30 laps under 30 minutes.

Feeling great as well

I put something big on top of a switch, and two days later the switch started working weirdly. And I spent two days debugging why my internet was getting bad. And it turns out the switch was overheating!!!

Full inspection of all ten hives, plus I used my new battery powered strimmer to clear the long grass from around all the entrances. The bee inspectors are coming tomorrow to check for disease (European foulbrood reported within 3km) but all our colonies look healthy.

I recorded a little bit of music. It’s not an actual full song or anything, it’s just an idea I had that I turned into about 90 seconds of music, but I was stuck in a bit of a rut so it feels good to have made something
