Did a spot of housework on Wednesday followed by a walk to the Tesco's by the Thames, about 5 miles. James had been working in Scotland for 3 days and came back just after 5 so I picked him up from the station and they all came round for dinner. Went swimming on Thursday morning and out to see TV Smith at the Facebar in the evening. He played for 2 hours non-stop, some good songs. Tony came round on Friday afternoon for a rehearsal as we a planning to do 4 Marianne Faithful songs at the Castle Tap open mic on Monday. James and Amy were away at PJ's wedding for the weekend so we picked up the kids from nursery and stayed over at no 81. All went pretty smoothly through the night. They both went to bed OK. Owen woke up a couple of times but went straight off again after some milk. Madeline came into our bed at some point but was fine. On Saturday morning we took them to the park in Recreation Rd. In the afternoon we got the bus into town and spent an hour or so in the museum which they really enjoyed. Madeline then had a couple of goes on the carousel in Broad St. A similar night to Friday except this time Madeline didn't join us. Went to the softplay at the Meadway on Sunday morning which they really enjoyed. Its not a permanent softplay area they just put a lot of stuff out on soft mats and have a bouncy castle. Really good for kids of their age. James and Amy got back about 3 30. Did the sound for Reinis Jaunais and The Flamenco Thief at RSAC in the evening. Flamenco Thief is Craig Sutton and guess what he plays? Reinis plays a steel string acoustic. There's lots of looping going on and using the guitars percussively. Reinis quite often frets with both hands. Very good. They've got loads of effects etc. What I really liked is that they sorted out their own EQ on the desk. Nice guys. About a dozen paying customers which is OK when its seated. The prospects for the centre don't look good though after the death of Felix. There will be no refurb.
