Cutting a wooden disc and sewing a coat

I've been helping Matt take his new coat in. It's Aquascutum.

He's cut me a little plywood disc to carve and print.

It's been a DIY day.

Also Richard Tyrone Jones has been staying with me. He's a very welcome house guest. He's out walking Solly at the moment and is posting a letter. He's keeping himself busy.

We have been trying to help him learn to use computer music software. But we don't really know ourselves.

Now Matt and I are listening to the Hammond organ, as recorded on Simon King's Tandberg tape machine. It's a funny old machine, says Matt. He's right. How the motor whirrs.

Eugene Chadbourne at Club Integral

Rolled onto see Eugene play his banjo at the George Tavern after Monteverdi rehearsal. Russell made me feel bad about not knowing the Vespers as well as I should. I have vowed to listen and sing along this week.

Club Integral was fun, lots of folk I hadn't seen for ages, particularly wonderful Simon King, who I was at Community Music with about twenty years ago. He doesn't look any different. I've grown my hair.
