Monstera magique! Less than three weeks between photos 1 and 2/3 in this little series. Amazing plant, my absolute fave. Tim bought a Monstera Variegata leaf off the internet and rooted it in water for about two months, then planted it and BOOM.

A fine day's work, writing lyrics and demoing a new song called "Seventeen". I always sort of know what a song is going to be about, and usually write the main melodies while I'm coming up with the chords and arrangement, so I sit at my typewriter and tap a stream of consciousness, trying not to think too much. I keep going for at least one side of A4 usually one and a half to two, then I highlight any good phrases and get my guitar out to play around the song and see what takes shape. It's like putting a puzzle together. Or sculpting sound out of thin air. It's weird and magical but also entirely possible and needs time and work - if I don't sit and try to write the song, the song doesn't get written. So, if you'd like to write one, sit and try, and keep trying, and keep trying more after that, and keep going, and at some point you can sit back and you'll have made something that didn't exist before, and that's beautiful whatever shape it takes.
