Making the bed
Taking apart a desk and a double bed, carrying them up and down stairs, and dangling pieces over the mezzanine balcony, and then reassembling them with Lorraine and Beth this afternoon. This all curiously quite fun, despite being laborious, with the cats jumping about us while we worked.
Then off to meet Matt in the Basketmakers. There we had a general planning session about our next steps, and there is a lot to do. Talking about taking This concert on the road in the first months of next year, and also to record it. This would both be rather smart. Several other new projects to discuss, and some to get started on early. Greatly looking forward to all this new work. But it was nice mainly just to chat, have a few pints and hear more about his pastoral brass band piece, which sounds excellent, and learn the difference between an Oratorio and a Cantata. I really like knowing people who know things I don't, especially Matt.
In the evening up to Lorraine's old neighbours for yet another birthday get together. Dawn was there, Pat and Angie, JD and Sarah. Angie showing off her new iPad. JD who is a very famous and very modest French rock journalist, mentioned he had 5,000 friends on Facebook. Now that's popular. A perfectly pleasant night, but I felt rather braindead and marginal. A reviving walk home with Lorraine back to my house in the cool night air.
