No matter how we want to rank the important things in our lives (family excluded, of course) sometimes our responsibility for the care of others makes us stop doing what we think we should be doing. My current number one priority (family excluded, of course) is getting the musical performances of endsongs up and running but that task has been little progressed in the last week due to rural responsibilities. There have been additions on the farm. The well being of others is paramount.

The latest (born today) and the last for a few weeks....


Music can wait (it has been waiting for so long that a little longer makes no difference - well, it makes no difference, really, any way!) but the care of others that need immediate attention cannot wait. The bucolic life can be rewarding but it has some responsibilities that cannot be ignored. Some work can be put off (the fertilising can wait for a few weeks, fences can be temporarily mended to last a short time until more time is available, etc) when music needs to be organised but when the lives of others is affected by whether you can be bothered or would rather be practicing guitar then.... there is no choice.

I had to cancel rehearsals earlier in the week but Friday beckons with Mr Bashford...
