8 August 2013 (Day 220) – Shuffle Session 4, Tracks 160 – 232

My recovery is gathering steam but I’m not out of the woods yet.  I decide to take it easy over the coming weekend, just to be sure, even forsaking another Bulldogs match.  Interestingly they seem to have rallied since I got ill and seem to be delivering on their promise. 

But that’s still two days away.  Today involves hard slogging work at my desk but with the compensation of a greater amount of listening.  The quality has improved too; I’ve purchased another boombox to replace the dud one I got earlier in the year.  It’s CD function had broken down and so rather than repair it, figured I get a better one with a couple of more fundamental features that the original lacked.  This one has an iPod  dock AND, more importantly, can take headphones!  Glory days indeed.

7 July 2013 (Day 219) – Shuffle Session 4, Tracks 134 – 159

Finally, I start to feel as though I’m turning the corner.  It’s now taking longer until I hit the wall, meaning I can stay at work until my normal departure time.  This makes “M” extremely happy as she was starting to feeling like an abandoned wife on the Melbourne evening rush hour.

It’s been a busy day with a few meetings and such and so the shuffle doesn’t last long.  Why didn’t I think of this as the idea for the blog?  It sure beats having to think about things to write about.

5 August 2013 – Shuffle Session 4 Tracks 51-71

It’s the day of my presentation at an all day seminar.  “M” has a rostered day off and so kisses me goodbye as I leave and, for the first time this year, take public transport into work. 

I’m up in the morning session and follow an exceptional speaker.  Just my luck!  Then after I’ve been introduced, we can’t find the PowerPoint presentation on the computer.  After a delay, its found and I proceed.  Incredibly, I finish with enough time for questions.

After lunch, I last through another couple of speakers, before calling time and staggering back to the train for the return trip home.  Speaking had really hurt my vocal cords and the warm venue hasn’t done my recovery from bronchitis any favours.  But at least I’ve met the commitment.

As you can image there was little chance for playing much music today.  The shuffle takes in my listening on the train to and from the venue.

52.          Two Timin’ Woman – Jack Scott (Good Rockin’ Tonight.  Red Hot Rockabilly*)
