The best curtains of my life and other things
🕑 Added 2025-04-15 15:16:01 +0000 UTCI have been gifted a macbook pro 🥲🥲🥲 I feel so lucky and so grateful. This is a 10 year upgrade on my old laptop and will make the next few months increase in productivity a lot! When something like this happens, any doubts I had of if I should continue, dissappear for a while, and I feel stronger! This also means I don't have to get in debt for a new machine yet, and I only need to save/raise £300 for the DAW (the programme to make music on) and some new leads!
The curtains are important to me as it means I could have natural light back in the room when I'm not streaming, and makes teaching feel more comfortable for myself and my future students to work in this space. Environment is really important to me and so this makes me very happy!
What else can I tell you?
I had an amazing show playing original songs on Friday at The New Women's Songbook alongside some incredible songwriters. It felt great to have a listening crowd, and I got them singing and then in another song they started voluntarily clapping along, which felt immense! It drove home to me how much I need and crave opportunities like these to play my songs and be an artist performing as opposed to the gigging musician earning a crust from playing covers. No shade to that, massive respect for this as a job. But the difference I feel is a lot. I'm hoping and praying for more opportunities like this and that my next album will be good enough to warrant festival bookings galore 😍😍😍
Today, my mood is slightly low, and I'm a bit in sensory overload. I'm about to put on some bright colours and. See how long I can stand it until I have to change into black, and then I'm going to stream some funky improv on Twitch.
To all my patreon crew, thank you so much for being in my corner. If you would like to see more from me, please let me know what kind of posts you might like me to share? Sometimes, I get stuck on what to post.
There are some more youtube videos to come soon.

I'm pretty sure you should be an author or journalist. Thanks Joe for all your treasure you share. I have so many words of encouragement from you to look back on and keep me going through the tough times. Much appreciated ❤️

You’re on Patreon , then? Maybe you don’t receive days of yellow and green and purple , like anything else of value, you have to create them. Maybe all days are black and grey until you paint them. Maybe you are the color . Black is safe . Black is easy. When you are the rainbow everyone looks to you , counts on you. Maybe it’s not fair to count on one person to make the songs and be the light and the color, but it’s you, Mrs. Fair , or not, you’re it. Maybe it’s why Amy crashed out so hard, no one understood her, helped her. I think the major difference with you is that you appreciate small things and moments. Curtains, for example. Be well.
