Lording it
Learning all about how to be a landlord today, thank God for the Internet. Reading stuff from Government sites, and various Landlord sites, and have clear idea of the things I need to do. One of these was to realise that I needed an Energy Performance Certificate before I could rent the place. Organised this, and am seeing a man called Barry tomorrow morning at the house. Felt a wave of rage at how much personal bandwidth this is taking up.
In other news, however, I began to post the video below, and Matt and I have agreed the CD cover. So, in a few weeks, we will soft-launch the CD, before a big launch around Valentine's day.
Quite surprised to see such an outpouring of sadness about Steve Jobs, the Apple guy. They played a speech he gave about making the most of your life as death is inevitable, which was quite refreshing coming from 'a factory owner' as one acquaintance called him. Jobs was interested in Buddhism and this was reflected in the contents of his speech. What I noticed was how refreshing this element of spiritual self-analysis was among the collective corporate drone, of people saying the same sort of things all the time.
Fun tonight as Beth came home, really good to see her so full of bounce and cheeriness, holding Calliope aloft and singing the song from Lion King, and doing funny impressions of hte pepole on her course. Lorraine tired after another hard slog of a day, but she cooked a delicious peppered beef with rice and slugged about chatting until I forced Lorraine to go to bed.
