Oh dear…. That Iain Banks will be upset that his bandmate was misidentified thus!

Well after being unemployed for a wearying length of time (and refusing all offers to return to vetting) I’m now working as a medical secretary for a gastroenterologist. I’m all over the medical terms, but the volume of admin takes some getting used to!

Whew! I can sleep better at night now! (That’d be a first since it’s 4.50 am here) How’s things in the Rebellato household?

Thinking fondly of the wee old Yamaha desks found in the pubs where my friends’ bands played in the 90s. I stood behind them and pretended I was not a rank amateur at mixing! 😁

There’s some belters in the list and some I would t agree with if they held a gun to my head. Luckily (for me) I agree with you on this one.

Forgive the self promotion but a couple of events coming up that I'm taking part in. On Thursday 25th I'm on a panel with Neil Forsyth (Guilt, The Gold) Really looking forward to this....I think it might be full but you might be able to register for the online version if you fancy it.

This is my second event of the week. I'll be at the Byres Rd Book Festival with my friend and collaborator, Aisling Walsh. This one is sold out too but there's a waiting list you can join. Eventbrite events often sell out then folk don't always turn up on the night, so it's definitely worth doing

First day of my new job today. Slight nerves, and excitement. Nercitement Excervous?
More sleep beforehand would have been optimal, but insomnia bows to no woman.

I FINALLY have a permanent part-time job! No more infrequent casual stuff! I can get some routine back in my life other than the gym!

Aww damn, I spent several weeks driving from Lee-on-Solent to Dorking to work on James May’s Lego house! I could have done a more scenic route! Mind you Abinger Hammer is scenic- couldn’t get much more chocolate box-y.

I’m an immigrant to Australia from Aotearoa and an Australian citizen . So are or were my family. We came here to work hard, build a life, contribute to society. We’re lucky we’re white English speakers. I feel so sad for all the other immigrants today. I’m ashamed of the xenophobia and racism today

I’m ashamed of what some racist bigoted arseholes are going to display as being β€œAustralian” tomorrow. It’s straight out of Fartrage’s and tRump’s playbooks. Bunch of mouthbreathing uneducated white (mostly male) people saying it’s β€œtheir country” You’re immigrants too, fuckwits.

So I FINALLY have employment again! Only a casual gig, but hey, ya gotta (re)start somewhere! I’m hoping if I’m not a total muppet they’ll give me more shifts. Clawing back a bit of self-worth.
