It really dosent matter how carefully you back up, whenever you change computers, something always goes missing.
In this case, its about 3000 music tracks.
All because iTunes is a pain in the proverbials.
so, its back to square one with iTunes and add each track individually.
I havnt got all day, as there is the small matter of the show to write & the music to burn.
At this rate I will be playing 6 different versions of JOhn Cage's seminal masterpiece, 4'33" of silence...
so, stop on here & get a move on!!!
TTFN!

Here are the Ashes!!!!
Nice one Strauss!!!!
What a muppet.
Cant believe I'm sat here watching this (only until 2am) before I do CBT tomorrow & then a busy Friday as well.
Just had a 20 minute chat with Lee about how awful a start it was and deciding that for the March Rovers V Salford game I will stop over as its a Friday night match, and the possibility of a night out, hotel & then match for the July leg of the triumvirate of matches.
January is a turn up & watch do. not worth messing about.
Now, back to the cricket & Angry Birds!!!!

No, its not "Man Flu", but...
With a bit of persuasion...
Super League fixtures are out and next year see's Mr Massey have the first realistic chance of winning our shirt bet.
For those not sure what one is, two fans of opposing teams in the same league wager on the outcome of the games between the two over the season, the loser has to wear the other teams shirt to a game decided by the winner.
Still not decided where Lee wears the Rovers shirt next season, but might be gentle & make him wear it to the Rovers V Salford friendly on January 30.
Salford actually have what looks on paper a very good side. They have made some very good close season signings, and having seen the academy in action to devastating effect last year, some superb young lads coming through.
Question is, can they play on grass?
We will have Big Willie Mason in the Red & White, so along with other signings, we might be able to hold our own.
Willie certainly can:

Ouch...
Hopefully, he wont spend his time in the sin bin or banned.
Another plus side to the Super League is I get to head to Shedingley in Leeds and if he gets a free moment, catch up with Mr Pete Nuttall, the voice of Rugby League, and all round nice bloke.
Feels time for another lemsip & scotch...but I promise, its not man flu...
now, need to get in touch with my shrink and find out whats taking do long with rearranging my appointment from last week as it clashed with my CBT.
And todays NHS excuse is?????

Finally given in
Not to Facebook, but to dragging the media centre that Robert has has his PC into the living room.
As much as Sue's netbook is a boon due to its lightness & portability, its rather difficult to look at the spec of a potential PC on a 10" screen...and the headache was getting unbearable.
Had my care worker round this morning, (Roberts off with a cold!!!)and it gave us chance to chat. He has played the show I did on Mental health to the others on his team and they all agreed it was excellent!!!
I did say if he felt it was that good, he could nominate it for a Sony award!
We did the usual chatting about how things are going, how am I coping, are Sue & I arguing and that sort of stuff, which I really enjoy.
Must start writing next weeks show, or I'll be up a certain creek missing a paddle.
Thats it for today.

and so the search continues...
Looking at an HP all in one pc. And so far, if I can get the one I am after, its a blinder. Touch screen, and all the bells & whistles. Touch over my budget, but not by too much.
Hopefully back to normal next week. Off to see my care worker in the morning, and then to the tech guru to help her sort out new music for the station.
Happy(ish) days...

living without Facebook and a PC.
Well, no pc for three days now. Motherboard has gone, so I'm looking for a new one. Plenty I can strip and flog from the old one...so far, I've looked at an HP all in one that floats most points I need, but will keep looking..As an aside, a few months ago, this would have sent.me off at the deep end, but the CBT must be working as I've just got on with stuff like visiting my brothers grave today.
Can't believe its been 8 years. There isn't a day goes by I don't think off him at.least once.
Martin, I miss you every day mate. Wish you were still here with us. The worst thing is you missing Josh growing up. Don't worry, we're all trying to keep an eye on him for you.

Mmmmm. 10 days between posts
Not sure how this is going to work.
I dont have a Facebook account for the foreseeable future.
So, how anyone will actually see this...
Not going into the where's & how's, but I had had enough of people expecting the world from me & not reciprocating. Some were Family, others were just obnoxious oiks who were spoilt as kids and seemingly take after their Mother & not Father.
Anyhow, had my 2nd CBT session today, and although its a long (and, I am assured, hard slog ahead), its enjoyable at the same time. My therapist stopped short of the Freudian "Tell me about your Mother", but did say "Tell me about your childhood". I nearly fell off my chair at the cliché.
But, 90 minutes later, I did find that even in these early sessions where its starting, there is something to take away form every session. I have a feeling that homework will also start soon.
BRING IT ON!!!!
She seems to think that most of these problems now actually stem from the strokes and the effect that losing a lump of brain can have, especially as it was the emotional control centre that was struck down.
Still, onwards & Upwards.
She has suggested that aside from just getting out to record the shows, I also put aside time to go out with friends & relax!!!!
Cant wait to see how Mrs R reacts to that news...
Anyhow, thats it for now.
Loving the CBT, hoping to all hopes it actually works.

Why does this illness have no discernible pattern?
I can go from feeling like I can take on the whole world one day, and suicidal the next.
Its annoying as it means there is no way to know how I'm going to be form on week to the next. Last week, I was on quite a high until about thursday when I started with a cold, but still managed to carry on with things as normal, but today, feel like crap and find myself almost at my wits end over every little thing.
I dont really have any money worries other than the usual ones everyone has, my family are all relatively sane & healthy, I have a nice home, nice kids and a loving wife.
I just happen to have a mental illness that makes me irrational at certain points. I just wish I knew when & by how much, because trying to juggle life, university and family is beginning to get a bit much at times.
I think a lot is that I am also becoming disillusioned with the UK as a whole. We have a government run by two parties that have no mandate to rule as they have no majority and a third that cannot offer an alternative to the Con-Dem's as they have elected a leader who looks like he has had a stroke! (not saying that for comic effect. I've had a number of them. Its not nice, but he looks like an idiot, not a future PM). If Harriet Harman had stood & been elected, then the Labour party would now look like a credible alternative.
Every time you turn on the TV, the government has found a new way to keep the wealthy rich and make the poor, poorer.
Normally, its the ginger haired Danny Alexander who is sent out like a lamb to the slaughter to do the treasury's dirty work, because Boy George Osbourne cant be seen to get his hands dirty when the tories have a lib dem to do it for them.
Enough for now. I'm knackered & need a kip.
