mykonos

friday again and the weekend is almost here and i do need it as its been quite a busy week. we had some issues earlier in the week and i have been on earlies and its just been a bit tiring. looking forward to the weekend and the forecast is for bright weather which means i will be able to cycle to the gym instead of like last week, when i had to take the bus and it took ages. i spent longer getting there and back than i did actually training. 

feeling a little poorer today as the tax year ended for last year and i received some fat bills to pay her majestys revenue and customs. running palaces, bombing poor people, bailing out banks and pay per view porn ain't cheap and we all have to contribute. hadn't paid any tax or national insurance at all for a while and so your bank account starts looking deceptively large. its a few grand lighter today but its ok. its not like you can worm your way out of paying tax, at least not us normal people. the super rich can set up trusts and offshore accounts and various things but us commoners can't really do much. 

anyways, only a few more hours of the day left. today is the first time i have done any clockwatching since i started at this job. i used to look at my watch every 10 minutes when i worked at the bank. 

have a lovely weekend V. 

today i have mostly been listening to fleet foxes - mykonos. saw a documentary on tv a few weeks back about the music scene in los angeles in the late 60's and 70s. aside from the beach boys and the eagles i wasn't aware of much of an LA music scene from that time in history, but the documentary was really good. for me when i think of an LA scene its guns'n'roses and motley crue. anyways this sounds like it could have come out of that scene in laurel canyon in the early 70s. enjoy.
