This city has me beat
And it’s you, not me
We’re not like we used to be
I used to love this dirty street 
Where I could run free
From mountain to sea
Seems it’s been too long
Between drinks for you and me
And what we used to be
Now everything feels wrong
And once again I’ll flee
From the concrete to the tree

Today I’m feeling:

A bit more lively. Slept at about 1 am when I actually felt sleepy for a change. Woke up a few times to pee and then my neck was uncomfortable so got up at 8.30 am. I need to get back to exercise and routine when back home to Thailand.

Today I’m grateful for:

The Mediterranean breakfast that I had for lunch. I haven’t eaten halloumi and hommus for a long time and it was a good affirmation that they still taste good to me.

The best thing about today was:

Catching up with Jochen and Sabina again, enjoying a great meal of Indian food and then Jochen and I checked out Batpiss and Deafcult at the Red Rattler. The show had an odd vibe but I enjoyed the music, especially having not been around really loud guitar bands for so long.

Something I learned today?

I learned how to get to the Tramsheds and also saw the new buildings that have gone up replacing the old Harris Park stadium.

What is something I’m getting better at doing?

I suppose as I get older I’m getting worse at doing physical things but getting better at mental and emotional things. I get better at the things I practice; language, guitar, self-control.
