AFTER breakfast Margaret takes the car to the garage for an MoT. I hit the office and do some work on the audiopoint info board. Starting to look good now, but full a few more coats of varnish and other finishing stuff to be done.
In the studio I do a little prep gathering tracks for Sunday’s radio show then play some guitar and set up some audio patches for a lesson later on.
The doc calls for my ‘phone appointment’ following up on the fact that the gastro specialists have blown out his referal…it’s taken three weeks to get just this phone appointment (ridiculous, but that’s another story!). He’s at a loss as to what do do…he’ll try another referral and we may consider going private. Overall, though, I’m not sure anything (or a reason) to find so maybe just save to accept the vomitting thing and move on. No point in searching for something that isn’t there.
During the phone call a courier drops off the ‘air ropes’ I ordered online after months of deliberation. I get it app set up and give the first ‘workout’ a whirl. It’s quick but brutal and my arms feel like jelly afterwards!
Back to the studio to work on some sounds and wait for my late afternoon guitar student. He’s usually bang on time but doesn’t show…I message his mum who reminds me he’s away on a school trip this week. I’d messed up putting it in the diary. Doh.
It’s a nice evening and there’s a good breeze to keep the midges away so I take the opportunity to go out for a walk and take the Nakie hammock with me..not had a chance to try it yet and it’s a little too big for the hammock stand in the garden.
I wander through the woods and find a test spot. I have the hammock up in less than a minute and am amazed how comfy it is. Result! Not often a product you discover on social media is so good.
Back home I do some work designing a jig to keep form a batch of paperweight stand for Will (Manson Glass)…always end up burning bushes with the heat gun and fiddle-faddling to get the bends nice and symetrical, so maybe this will help. Not sure if the 3D printer filament I have will stand up to the heat, but worth a try…and if it works I’ll maybe try and find so,e more suitable filament.
Then it’s time to light some charcoal and fire up the grill for some smash burgers.
