Delay in Music and Blog Posting for a Long Spell

It has been a very busy June, ever.

1. Flea infestation from a neighbor's Butterfly Bush got all contiguous property owners up in arms and scratching their legs. For over a week no one knew from whence the fleas came, not until my gardener found the source on Friday last. This pest problem is now slowly under control, but still on-going.


2. The power supply on the desktop computer where I did my music and YouTube stuff burnt out. The system is dead. It is not a priority to fix it at this point. Moreover, the reinstalling of the software on the system, when fixed, would be very difficult and resource intensive. At this point, however, I am doing what I can to replicate the music creation stuff on my other computers. It is a slow going process at best, if it could be done at all.

3. On the week of Summer Solstice, I will be heading over to the Republic of Ireland. The first stop will be the town of Shannon in County Clare.


So there you have it.
