Went for a swim on Monday but just me as M still has a bit of a cold. I discovered on Sunday that I had a broken reed in my D harmonica so went to Hickies to buy a new one. I got a Marine Band instead of a Blues Harp as the chap said they were pretty much the same but better quality. Did some googling when I got back though and found out there are some subtle differences so took it back and ordered a Blues Harp from amazon. Joined the goolie zoom in the evening. On Tuesday I picked up the bad monitor from RSAC and took it round to Bob Noyse to see if he could find out what's wrong and fix it. The woofer did breifly stop working but from then on it was OK so left it with him to see if he could replicate. The tree men came to prune the judas and hawthorn. My Blues Harp turned up. Went to the Boileroom in Guildford in the evening with Steve to see bdrmm supported by bloody/bath. Excellent venue, neither of us had been before. Not sure if it was deliberate but the sound seemed a bit off for bdrmm. No kick drum or bass. Probably had a pint too many hence a lazy day on Wednesday. M went up to London for a talk at the Institute of Historical Research. Did my 5 hills ride on Thurs morning. I designed a fair process for band song selection on the way round and wrote it up after. Ordered a metal kazoo on Thurs as Cracking Up are planning to use them in a version of Stop The Cavalry and my cheap plastic ones don't seem to be up to the job. Went for a swim on Friday. My kazoo turned up but apart from the fact its metal it seems just a flimsy as the plastic ones. Madeline can walk up stairs. Did the sound at RSAC for The May, Holy SMS and Boredoms in the Bathroom. OK but a bit too knob twiddly for me. Madeline gave us a tour of the flat on Sunday.And its official. Reading is now part of London as we got one of these.
