August 25, 201014 yr Why week 4! What's he doing....or not doing? Arghhh it's bank holiday weekend! Make sure he sorts it out before he takes his break.
August 25, 201014 yr Author I'd hate to be without a bath - although we did manage without one for a few weeks when we first moved here. We also didn't have a shower or a sink that emptied. Makes you appreciate it more when you do.
August 26, 201014 yr Why week 4! What's he doing....or not doing? Arghhh it's bank holiday weekend! Make sure he sorts it out before he takes his break. Working very slowly and very carefully. Can't fault his work, it's just the speed of things that's driving me mad!! Can't bear to think we might not have a shower or bath over the bank holiday. Sue
August 27, 201014 yr Just looked at the BBC 5 day weather forecast for Crewe. Heavy rain shower, 63' F. Hope there is a good turn-out for D.
August 27, 201014 yr Author As long as they can record it and he gets a good reception. BBC weather was always wrong when we could get to his gigs, so we can hope it is this time.

August 27, 201014 yr As long as they can record it and he gets a good reception. BBC weather was always wrong when we could get to his gigs, so we can hope it is this time. I've found the BBC's forecast to be wrong more than they are right especially for local weather. Clear skies at night invariably means I'll have 90 to 100% cloud cover, which isn't great for astronomy :angry: Let's hope they keep to their usual standard and that we get a lovely clear night in Crewe. I had borrowed my neice's compact camera to shoot video, but I daren't risk it if it's possible it might be wet, so I might have to get out my weather sealed DSLR. It means I won't be able to get video though, but that shouldn't matter now as he's appearing online :) Got a busy day tomorrow, up at six to get my stuff together and go setup for the busk from 9am until 2pm, then it's home, shower and change and off to Crewe for D's gig. Had a poor rehearsal this afternoon and my mood wasn't helped when I discovered the local paper had printed a snippet about our venture, and that I had aged 2 years according to them :o Really hope we don't stink tomorrow, especially as our big boss is supposed to live in the town we're performing in and will be in attendance. My friend, who's been in his own band and has busked many times before hasn't as much as batted an eyelid about tomorrow. Wish I could be so nonchalant about the whole thing :unsure: Even if I do poorly, the charity will be receiving a decent amount of money, as our firm and one or two others are making contributions, as well as what we collect on the day, so I guess I can put up with the hassle for a good cause and it could even turn out to be a wonderful experience, fingers crossed :) Edited August 27, 201014 yr by B.P.
August 28, 201014 yr That's quite a good sign, poor last rehearsal. Enjoy it Paul, will be with you in spirit :) any problems you can blame on your older brother....you were in Crewe all day :lol:
August 28, 201014 yr Talking about Crewe, hope the weather holds and you have a great night Be with you there in spirit too :D
August 28, 201014 yr Author I hope it's going Ok for Paul. However it goes, it'll be a real success. It's always great to go and do something to help others. And appreciated too. I hope it goes well for Darius as well. I bet he isn't wearing the neck brace. Still worries me.
August 28, 201014 yr Just back from the busk and it went very well :) Remarkably, it was my experienced friend who was nervous for the first half hour, and it was me who started well and wasn't nervous at all :o I know we've collected quite a bit for charity too, there were some lovely and very generous people, so should be good all round :) Right, it's off for a shower and then shoot over to Crewe. Really hope I don't miss D's performance, but I shouldn't if I have no travel issues. Not sure how close I'll get either, but I'll do my best for pics and we'll have to watch the videos on the site as above.
August 28, 201014 yr I am so glad the busk went well Paul - you're very brave!! I hope you have a good evening at Crewe - can't wait to hear if he sings any more new songs!! :D Julie
