After a flurry of activity on this blog, there has been a couple of things in my world that have sent my words packing.
It feels like a long time since I have blogged, although it has only been a few days. The seeds of partially formed ideas scattered to the four winds.
Sometimes it is best to wait for things to happen, for ideas to form, instead of trying to force words onto the page that you don’t really believe in, or have any great desire to write.
They will come in time. Then again, sometimes you just need to blurt out a stream of consciousness until something starts to take root.
I’m still in the process of minimising. This week I decided to switch back to Apple Music, which I was paying for anyway through Apple One, rolling the money saved into a separate pot for buying CDs.
I also found an app for iOS and iPadOS called Marvis. My biggest issue with Apple Music was that sending my scrobbles to Last.fm was a bind, but Marvis acts as a front-end for Apple Music and handles the scrobbling part for you. Thanks to a Mastodon chum Revival Records for that one.
I also picked up the Lifetime subscription for Plex whilst it was still cheap. It’s a £20 per month saving on both, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but it will add up.
I love Qobuz and will no doubt return to it at some point, but I’m not the only one using my Apple One subscription, so it makes sense to wring its neck for all it is worth.
With that, the words are slowly starting to flow again...
