"You'll never find rainbows if you're looking down."

Howdy. (That's my new welcome.....for this week at least.) Gonna be quite a short blog today as I haven't actually got much to write about.


Little explanation for the quote in the title. I was looking back at the previous blog and thought that it looked a bit anti-love and quite negative. So this time around I thought I'd use a nice quote in the title. So I went with this beauty by Charlie Chaplin, the comedy legend of the early 20th Century and another member of my growing list of heroes. The quote itself pretty self-explanatory. If you're feeling down and all you want is to be happy again (in the quotes case if you want to look for a rainbow) then being down's not going to help. In all I think the quote is trying to say that if you want to get over whatever is getting you down then just stay positive (don't keep looking down).


So how has my weekend been? Quite boring. Saturday consisted of me cleaning up around the house in preparation for a BBQ the next day and then discovering and instantly falling in love with the genius that is Black Books. Seriously good comedy, check it out. Then Sunday was said BBQ. It was actually quite fun. Highlight of the BBQ was starting fires, putting stuff in the fires (including Lego, paper plates, plastic knives/spoons/ forks, etc.), lighting sparklers and then making some great photos with the sparklers (thanks to the camera wizard that is my cousin). Then Monday was spent cleaning the remains of the fire from the previous night and plenty of sitting around. Not much going on this week, except for Wednesday. Wednesday sees the first meeting of the still-unnamed band. It is very exciting. See what everyone's like. Then hopefully try out some songs together for the very first time! I'm really looking forward to it. It's gonna be awesome.


Well that is it for now. Next blog is on Saturday, as you should know. So for now I'll leave you with two music videos. The first video I love because it has a fight in it......involving clowns. The video is of course, Fluorescent Adolescent by the Arctic Monkeys. The second video is a song that I love and can very much relate to. It might also be practiced by the band which should be very good. The song is She Hates Me by Puddle of Mudd. Enjoy.

So till Saturday. Have a great week. Stay Safe. And I'll see you next time around.
This is me, Edward Thompson, signing off.
Much Love
