A Busy Week - Sunday June 18th 2023

There had been a slight infection risk with Edith so they did some blood tests and she got the all clear to go home on Monday. This is how she took the news.
On the trivial front a man came to look at the oven, my new bike tyres arrived so fitted them and did my Playhatch loop to test them out. 


On the way home.

At home

Poppy isn't too sure. On Tuesday she met her first set of grandparents.
Meanwhile I cycled out to Britwell cum Sotwell with Kelvin. Apparently Boris has moved there and Kelvin wanted to check out where he lives. Had a pint in the Coach and Horses on the green back in Wallingford. A very nice pub that I've never been in before. M was out at BRO. In the evening I went up to London to see Kurt Vile at Koko supported by King Hannah. I went in for them and as it was still quite empty I got near the front and decided to stay there for the main event even though it meant not having another pint. Both bands were excellent. Kurt Played for about an hour and 45 mins. I did move to the back for the encores so I could get a quick get away. The sound was better there I would say. Did a bit of exploring too, up to the galleries and the smoking balcony. Really nice venue. On Wednesday Edith met the second set of grandparents.

Went over to RSAC on Thursday to take some of the crappy old music equipment down the tip. Then spent some time trying to fix broken mike stands. Edith has had her 5 day health check and everything's OK. She's lost 1% of her birth weight but up to 5% is fine. The big news from this end is that M has handed in chapter 7 of her thesis. That's the last one apart from the conclusion. She needs to go though it all again though and will need to cut some out to get it under 90,000 words. On Friday morning a man came to fix the oven (the fan is on all the time and it needed a new part). Then we popped out to a the Playhatch garden centre. M went to Fiona's in the evening so I went to the Retreat with Coxy and Kelvin. Simon and Hilary were also there. On Saturday got this picture on Edith. The first one with her eyes open. She's being held by Josh buy I've cut him out.
Went to pick up a table chairs M had seen advertised.
There are 4 chairs. I did the sound at RSAC the evening for the Artists Link Up showcase. A series of different hip hop singers all performing to backing tracks they had produced except for one who accompanied herself on guitar and piano. Here are some links Only Adz, K.Kayne, Big ZeCarbon Alexander, Mack23, DeltaGrimm Dreamurr, RJIzzy Evans .All pretty good but maybe a bit samey and nothing much to see apart from the singer. I did the sound with Erin who hadn't done it before but certainly knows his way around a mixing desk and if you follow the links here you'll see why. Meanwhile Edith was being shown London.
Got a call from JAM on Sunday. Madeline had been doing guitar practice. I hadn't realised it was father's day. Tom was enjoying his first one.
A lot of the artists on Saturday had linktree accounts. Hadn't heard of it before so set one up for myself.
