A long and difficult day some good some not so, this morning I had to go to our local police "mega nick" to give a witness statement, the incident is not important but it took so long to make the statement that when I was finished and eventually emerged from the depths of the Police Station, Gloria (my van) had a parking ticket, so much for civic duty!
I was so long that I ended up starting work so late that over all I ended up missing one job out all together. However I did get to lift my first early potatoes, not a bad little crop, all clean and totally free from slug damage blight or any other problems - nice.
This evening would have been the golden wedding anniversary of my parents in law and a celebratory dinner had been planned before the death of my father in law last week. It was decided that we would go ahead anyway, and although a little difficult at time it was a good evening with good friends able to remember in a convivial friendly atmosphere.
What should have been an easy day with a bit of spare time ended up being quite stressed and very busy - and still no practise for tomorrows concert. I have to admit I do not feel ready, I know I am good enough to "get away with it" but I don't want to bluff I want to be in a position to make the music work, not be worried about playing the instrument or the notes. Wish us luck!
Well of course I wish you loads of luck although I doubt you really need it. Just go and blow the hell out of that big lump of metal pipe work as though you're trying to blow that parking ticket in to space - oh yes, and have a good time.
