Well, I feel like no one reads these entries. Maybe, maybe one or two do. And if you're here then, well, you're going to get a little bonus insight. There's a certain odd little catharsis in revealing something quite intimate…

Somehow in the mind I hadn't realised that it was quite so recently that I finally started playing guitar again. 

I don't remember exactly when I finally took it out of its case, for the first time in many months…

I just thought that title was funny. I don't even know if anyone reads this. Are you reading this? Let me know.

Whatever, it's not important…
