On Monday took my Martin acoustic in to have a pickup fitted. Picked up the bunting from Ellie for HCTS. Created a QR cide for the HCTS clashfinder.Did the Castke Tap open mic in the evening. Played HCTS 2026, Love In Vain and Lazy Bones. It was very busy and some great stuff on including Mallow who will be playing at the festival consisting of Eleni and Kia fron The Amzing Tiger Band. Tony came round on Tuesday afternoon for a HCTS rehearsal. Went swimming on Wednesday morning then pucked up my Martin. Tony came round for another rehearsal. In the evening we popped over to The Nags as Joe Doak was having drinks after his PhD graduation. Steve and Lindsey were also there. During the rehearsal on Wednesday I realised I needed an E harmonica and a new guitar tuner so popped into town to pick them up on Thursday along with some jam sugar as M was making plum jam. It was Madeline and Owen's last day at nursery.
