mad day, taking roughly a fivers worth of copper coins to the sainsburies in angel to pour them into that machine which gives you money for the money (minus their cut)... going into two useless lloyds banks before the one in angel with a very helpful manager... gradually sorting out my finances in this temporary way...
then on to a meeting at work, apprentice issues... lost one a couple of weeks back, now i'm gaining several...
and tonight M came round, M who teaches with G who records me, he had a look at my fender rhodes (beautiful, old, analogue, electric piano... heaven when it's working) he found a problem or two, did a bit of soldering, tweaked a few places, showed the old beast some love and it responded by being restored to it's natural volume - which is massively loud...
it's amazing how playing it at it's tiny volume just misses out on the truly great sound it has... such a difference emotionally to play it and hear it's fullness, not that i'm playing on ten, four is a little too loud...
played cards with G just now, carried on drinking after sharing a glass or two with M (basking in the glory of the restored fender rhodes), spanish M & edge off to barcelona tomorrow, the house will be so quiet with just me, T & G... although Gr is coming to stay in edges room... that man can can make a noise... and then irish G is back on friday...
so now to bed, no work tomorrow so i'll be playing this beautiful rhodes all day, meeting felinity in the evening...

happy day
