Tuesday Bluesday

As my post heading suggests, today was a bit of a bluesy day. At least it started off that way. Woke up with a killer headache that I just couldn't shake, made worse by the fact that it was a gloomy-looking day outside, and made even worse by the fact I have an assignment due date looming (coupled with zero motivation to do it). To combat my sour mood, I decided to take a couple of nurofen and turn to my dear friend who never fails to boost my mood, 'Mini' (aka my Taylor GS Mini guitar). She and I both wanted to have a go at producing a cover of one of our most loved songs "Skinny Love" by the wonderfilled band, Bon Iver.

After a few (hundred...) takes, we finallly came up with a cover that we were reasonably happy with, and to my amazement I was also headache free! Could be that the nurofen was actually doing its job for once, but I'm putting it down to the healing hands of music.

If you'd like to check it out, you can check it out HERE :) .

So with my improved mood, I then headed to the school to pick up my darling girl, Indi. She was quite chipper; a good sign of a happy day at school. Given that it is a public holiday here tomorrow for Anzac Day, I decided to head to the video shop (do people still call it that? Or am I just old-fashioned?) to see if we can get some movies to get us through the day tomorrow with as little boredom as possible (more rain predicted). So we got some movies and then found ourselves being drawn to the hot chip shop (funny how that happens!). With our hot chippies and movies and knowing I managed to cover a song I really like, I caught Indi's mood and started to feel quite chip-per myself (I refuse to pardon myself for that pun!).

Now we are both sitting on the couch, bellies full of chips and salt, and watching The Grinch (well I'm blogging and watching...women are great multi-taskers!).

I'm going to sign off for now with the hope that you have had a nice Tuesday, however you have spent it.

If you do happen to check out my cover, thank you for watching! Feel free to leave me a comment or subscribe to my channel, or even give it a thumbs up (or down) :)

Until next time,

I wish you peace and music :)
