Hey ,

 

having my gag reflex triggered late on a Tuesday evening was not part of the plan.

 

But my sense of smell was weird. And I knew I had to get a covid test.

 

So there I was sticking my head out of my car window with a masked nurse tickling my tonsils.

 

Not pleasant, but necessary.

 

Then came the waiting game. And it was hard.

 

I had 3 lessons to film on Wednesday. (Beatles, Neil Young and Dust In The Wind) but I had to keep my boys out of nursery until I got my result.

 

I was stuck at home with Jules and Oscar. Finding it hard to make peace doing Daddy day care.

 

But as the day went on I came to thoroughly enjoy my time with them.

 

Music and teaching is my passion. So if I'm kept from that it's going to be tough.

 

But being lucky enough to be a Dad to my boys is just as important. For them and me.

 

I'm not sure what this email has to do with guitar. But perhaps I'm talking about a balance with our time.

 

Time is the only thing given out evenly to us all.

 

We do our best to find time for our guitar, but if life gets in the way then it's important to know that guitar will always be waiting for us.

 

And because we enjoy playing those 6 strings we'll always come back to it eventually.

 

So if you haven't found the time to practice this week, don't worry. It happens to us all.

 

P.S. My results were negative btw! Having read this email back I realised you'd probably want to know.

 

Stay safe :)
