Listening to Eddie Vedder - Into the Wild (Rise). Because it's cold and it's work and it's that time...the halfway point between all bills paid and summer, all moneys now will be invested towards the next years expedition, the last before inexplicable wealth and fortune overtake me, the last before I'm faced with the overwhelming responsibility of a lifetime's worth of indolence and free time, and the music, well, it's strangely apt...
It's not just about finding money, wealth, gold, diamonds, it's not at all about that, but it's easy enough to imagine, no, it's about finding peace and yourself...
And to hell with the ending, that's the chance you take, fair enough. But this is prospecting, this is living, this is life...

Rather like this, good prospecting music. And some great lyrics:
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah, and my thoughts they surely were
turned to instinct and obedience to God...

Frantic last minute attempts to find the perfect, unique, one-of-a-kind gifts for Xmas.
Things aren't looking good, the elusive, perfect hand-made gift just isn't falling into my lap.
I hit up the Market Collective - local artisans and craftspeople, ethical gifts, search, search, but there's nothing remotely giftable for those in my small circle.
The arts and crafts, they're good, just nothing that inspires me, nothing that shouts out "this would be perfect for....".
But in the background, on the stage, there's an artist - Amy Wood - and - surprised that nobody's listening - well, she's good. Very good. Big voice, curious lyrics, local, she should be a lot more popular than this...
