Finished the transcript of the Hundred Years centenary booklet!
In time for the Fete and reunion Day of 30th June. Hurrah. And I have an appointment booked with the author of the original edition, 98 year old Miss D. R. Beer next week to present her with a copy. Excellent.
Just a couple of scans to do for the cover and then get it printed.
A has an overwhelming desie to learn kayaking, after her experience at Brownies on Monday night???
It's eyes down here for the Confirmation tomorrow evening. Tx went for a rehearsal last night and is calmly looking forward to it. the other two candidates have said how amazed they are at her composure. In fact, one of them described herself as "bricking it". How lovely…
Listening now as I write to a recently discovered recording made by Louis Gordon just ayear or so after he started working with Foxx. Its called "Movements For No reason" and is easil yth emost Foxx-like/electronica of anything he has done since. Apparently his latest release "Goodbye Walnut Road" is in a similar style, but I haven't 'acquired' a copy of that yet.
I like this early stuff better than "Closed Gone Fishing: at least, which is a bit too nice and Lilac-Time for my rather more hardcore taste.
And speaking of Foxx, good to have a decent catch up with Ris tonight. I hope his inspiration to get on with stuff at the site really does materialise now - he is certainly full of enthusiasm. The man himself just never stops, and has just over the weekend publicly declared his involvement with Art Hurts. I've got an invite to the premier of his installation, at Fulham Palace onJuly 5th which is really exciting. He's going to not only talk about CO for half an hour after the presentation (which is going ot be BIG) but also then perform a unique piece of 'treated piano' music to accompany a reading from The Quiet man. Only 20 of us have been lucky enough to get these invites to what is otherwise a Press and Media event.
If only it were ot on the night before we go on holiday!!!!
That has come round very quickly. I must get round to cadging a roof box this weekend, and sort out a full set of new tyres onthe car.
Baggins has an allergy to somethng or other, and a hot blotchy rash.
Its good to taste Piriton again - I love that stuff!
