Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Hey Phill

I must be getting desperate I've started playing "Stairway to heaven" on my acoustic again...
Hope inspiration bites soon and for you....

Goes the same for me. I find listening to new music helps. Or going and watching live music. Saw The Last to Know last night so feeling a bit inspired

Re: writers bloc

I don't look at them like blocks, I look at them like holidays, but ones that you like to go back to work from.

Doing something different or new will often kick off new stuff for me.

We were out at friends last night for dinner. They had a firepit which he and I stoked up to a blaze. He had a eucalyptus in the garden and a lot of shed bark which we stuck in the fire. We ended up pulling these out of the fire and wandering round the night garden using them as torches. What with that and the sparks flying into the sky, I'm in an Australian, lizard, stone age frame of mind this morning. And reeking of smoke!

Re: writers bloc

Hi,

Yes, it's an irish eucalyptus!

Apparently a previous owner planted it. I'm glad it's in their garden not mine. It seems the roots go straight down, rather than spreading out. They are, therefore. prone to fall over in high winds. This one is twice the size of the house. The house is halfway up Cavehill, here, so I don't understand why the tree is still standing at all.
