After spending 6 years in the Middle East I spent 2013 back in Australia and had forgotten how high the price of petrol was/is. Headed back to the...

You will love Seoul Lex. I was offered a job there a couple of years ago - almost took it, but like living in the Middle East for now. The trip...

Good stuff Jason. Similar story here. I'm listening to music and podcasts in the mornings, and enjoying them again. I still listen to the T first...

Same here. Hearing is fine. Just need to give my ears a break for a while. Bloody hard though eh? You become 'painfully' aware of what a noisy...

Thanks guys. Yeh! Spike started before the dentist. At home now doing some couch time, watching some brain dead TV - just what I need.

What a day! Serious spike this afternoon, accompanied by a headache, then off to the ENT for him to tell me what I already know. Indeed I was able...

Ah! All sounds like fun. Thanks all - I'll let you know how it goes.

5 hours of uninterrupted sleep for the first time in 4 weeks. T is still there of course but hopeful of a good day ahead.

I use a bit of violin in my songs, generally getting someone who knows what they are doing to play live and in the studio. I scratch out tunes on...

The music is still there Nathalie, and I dearly hope that you can find it again. As I sit here with my T squealing my head off, I am also missing...

Cheers to that Brendan. I started back at my day job today, with the same attitude and was all good until the last half hour where lack of sleep...

OK thanks Ludvik, Hasn't been great since though. I've got 3 flights to take tomorrow. I think it's the fear of what might be that's throwing me...

Can't even look at a guitar or microphone at the moment. Had a New Years Eve gig to do in Dubai, but cancelled- even the slightest noise hurts...
