Things are grim at work. Grimmer this morning than last night.
I got back late last night, trashed by a stressful day to find the nipper demonstrating his new talent. He has finally learned how to play his Jambone moothy and is … not bad at it. (Video to follow).
The best thing about giving a 15 [...]
I am whacked. Yoda is sick AGAIN. Vomiting this time and coughing like a smoker. Poor lamb. So our weekend trip the The Smoke is cancelled. We were to do a grand tour of various people including a 40th birthday bash but that is all out the window now. Instead this will be DIY weekend.

I managed to duck out last night for a folky session in Cherry Hinton. I stopped going to this session a while ago due to the noisy drunks in the pub and the persistent smoking of other performers who always insisted on sitting next to me. Now with the smoking ban is in place and [...]

I confess I’ve done it again. On the way home from work last night I stopped at the music shop on Mill Road to stock up on guitar strings and walked out with a major diatonic key of C Lee Oskar harmonica. Around £20! I thought moothies were about £3. I’ve since learned that [...]
