ewtHave been somewhat incommunicado, due to going away without my phone charger, and with very little battery left in my phone. Oops.
Back in Lodnon now. Was thinking of sorting out some of the garden this evening but as it's chucking it down with rain I think I'll try to sort out some of the inside instead.
Music summer school was okay. Nice to play some of the symphonic wind ensemble (or to quote Dr. Tom Staples, "It's a band. folks.") repertory again. Monday evening brought open jazz sessions, so I did some improv - good fun, I'd like to do more of it. Reading off an E-flat part (for the saxes) is quite satisfactory, and the jazzers all seemed to think I'd been playing jazz for years instead of five minutes. Fun. I want to do more of this.
Wrote some more music on the train, go me. Will stick it into a computer when my actual academic work is complete, which is going to be a little closer to the line than I'd like because the library at Trinity has crazy (non-existent) hours for vast swathes of summer. Oops. I should still be able to get everything sorted out though.
Busked this morning. Jubilee line was fucked, as were a few other things, so I didn't make much, but I'm trying to focus on just turning up and not worrying so much about the quality as the quantity. It doesn't have to be perfect. And someone from KornFerry gave me a quid, a business card and an instruction to call him, I'm not sure what for, but I guess there could be a gig in it. If I can find the damned business card, I'll call him. Yeah, I've lost it already. Go me, eh? Maybe it's downstairs in my bag. I know I had it in my pocket earlier but it isn't there now. Arse thorns.
If any of you have a spare Samsung mobile phone charger, let me know? Ta.
Off to make some tasty food of some sort for dinner, and then have a quiet evening in, tidying. I'd really like to make my desk sit-at-able. I've discovered I can fold the futon in on itself to a) make the loft have a bit more useful space, b) stop me from piling so much stuff on the futon when I'm not sleeping in it, and c) keep the sheets clean. Go me.
And then I'm going to have an early night, for tomorrow will be long.
