I cannot believe Christmas is in so few days. I don’t have the Christmas tree up yet, I haven’t started Christmas shopping, in fact I don’t even have ideas for presents. I have been so busy I haven’t noticed it sneak up. Well this week I shall make the most of it. Spend too much time at the mall getting sick of Christmas carols in the shops. Spend too much money so I wish Christmas never came and spend all my time being festive and merry. Then at least come 26th December, I shall be happy Christmas came and went, and happy it will be 364 days until it happens again.On the music front, in the last few days have sent a piece in to a workshop and an application in to write a new orchestral piece. So more information on these as it arises.Bye for now, Ryan
