Manic Monday!

Woke up this morning with the old Mama’s and Papas tune in my head, Monday Monday. Frustrating as I only know the first to words of the song and it starts to grate after a while, singing the same two words over.

So much happening at the moment. Friends got married at the weekend and we played there, same day as my daughter birthday which included a bowling trip with a bunch of 12 year olds the day before and a sleepover at ours on the night.  That coinciding with booking flights to Hong Kong, sorting dates with Gareth, swotting up on songs for the ATF Sunday morning, booking shows, calls from the BBC about some TV work, talking to production companies about the documentary, sorting the USA trip, radio stations in London wanting to interview and the possibility of me having my own show on a new local station – this week I have vowed to have a day off.

I’m gonna head to the hills somewhere. There’s a bit of a buzz around at the moment about making space for God in your life – very much needed. It’s a tough one where you know you need to give 110 percent to make it all work while at the same time keep sane, enjoy friends, love family and be at the core of it all the husband, father and friend I’m meant to be.

I have to keep checking myself and my motivations for doing this – keep it in it’s place.

So glad everyday isn’t a Monday

    Hello Rob

    Hope you got your peace and quiet this weekend. Know what you mean about the buzz and making time for God. You may not remember me, my daughter and I have met you at a couple of lounge gigs recently; a couple of weeks ago at Andy and Carolyn’s induction service. As you know, Hannah and I are both fans of your music and writing.

    I had a thought a couple of weeks ago and meant to mention it, so seeing your links with the BBC etc. and with Children in Need coming up, I thought “Where sweeter rains fall” and “See the Beauty” will make amazing songs for this event. I don’t know how you would go about suggesting their usage, but just wanted to share the thought.

    Blessings,
