Friday 3 March 2006

I took delivery of two Gator cases today: a flightcase for our newly-acquired Ahlborn H6 fake chamber organ, and a trolley case for my Estey harmonium. The case is designed for twin combos, and the harmonium is just a bit too big for it so it goes in happily, but won't come out. As a result I spent some of this morning lying on the hall floor with my legs braced against the case trying to retrieve the Estey from its clutches. It came out eventually. I've since bought some webbing and buckles to wrap round it on the way in for next time - thanks to Alison for that idea ... speaking of whom, I found this picture of us on the web this morning. As you can see, I'd already begun to formulate my policy on shoes.

The weather has alternated snow and beautiful sunshine today: the canal was frozen over with just a light dusting on the top, when all around had melted.

It's my duty as a guardian of culture to point out that there are only two weekends of Dick & Dom in da Bungalow left, and that this weekend's is the last Sunday show. Get yourself to a telly and watch some history being made. No seriously, it's that good. Meanwhile, watch this and this and you'll be none the wiser.
