Where does the time go! I suppose the myth of “Time flies when you are having fun” really does ring true, doesn’t it?

2022 is the year, I’ve finally shrugged off the shackles and returned to “Figure Skating” after the pandemic stopped me in my tracks, the year I’ve completely overhauled my “Books Project” and the year I began my Podcast to inspire you all, however, I hear you ask, Baldi, you’ve been a little quiet recently, what’s up?

Yes, yes, I have, a few things,

Firstly, I’ve been slightly ill over the last few weeks, nothing serious and thankfully now back on track. I feel my down time has allowed me to catch up with all your messages and with inspiring Television Series like “Shetland” and “Ridley” aired here in the United Kingdom. I’m not sure about you, but I’m very much looking forward to forthcoming Series like “The Suspect”, “Doc Martin” and “The Capture” which all sound exciting, although I’m upset this will be the last “Doc Martin”. What are your thoughts if you are a fan?

Secondly, I feel my down-time has allowed me to rest and take detailed stock of where I am in life,

projects I’m currently working on and where I see my future both as a performer and creator. On the performance side, I’ll be adding something cool to my C.V very soon and look forward to sharing with you when I get my feet under the table so to speak. In terms of Piano performance, life has taken an interesting, however, I believe positive and different direction, certainly one which I am determined to embrace and make the most of.

Thirdly, I am pleased to have resumed a few projects began earlier this year, you know the ones I’ve not quite got around to completing. All I will say is, stay tuned for some exciting developments and announcements. Some of these projects include, my updated C.V, certain aspects of my “Books Project” and working out what to do with the mountains of writing snippets I’ve been collecting these past few years, think I’ve finally worked it out.

Finally, if you are in the Portsmouth, United Kingdom area and fancy Indian, I throughly recommend “Bombay Bay” for tasty, authentic, Indian food at reasonable prices. Their staff are friendly and amenable, although you have to wait, in my experience is a good sign and certainly well worth it.

Be safe, keep inspiring us, and messaging me your thoughts.
