Gill left fairly early to go to the Steiner School Spring Fair with our youngest, who has a stint on the Year 6 Cake Stall and at 1.30, a Maypole Dance Show. Gill took loads of cakes in for the stall, and she'd also volunteered to do some tidying and other things.
Our eldest doesn't like crowds or too much noise so he wasn't going; so I stayed with him at home. At 9.20 I was woken by a phone call from the daughter of a well known local entertainer, who does close-up magic.who had managed to cut the end of his finger off and couldn't therefore work. She was hoping that she'd be able to find a replacement entertainer for tomorrow at 1pm. Well I was very sympathetic but couldn't do the work as I already have a gig tomorrow afternoon. I gave her my agent's number. I also rang my friend Stephen who is a puppeteer and suggested he might contact her.
We had a really good morning, lunch and early afternoon. After lunch we did some shredding together, and after Gill came home and I was cutting the front hedge, one of his friends came round, so he had a good day. I did a load of weeding.... Ground Elder mainly. This doesn't need shredding as it's quite soft, but I collected all the hedge trimmings together in a builders sack and put them through the shredder as many of them were woody, and the shears I use to cut the hedge don't chop the stalks small like some powered hedge trimmers do.
As I was going out with David at 6.30, and it was likely to be a late evening, I had tea before I went out, pasta salad with a leafy coleslaw and two dolmades.
David had booked me to take him to St Michael-le-Belfrey to hear the Yorkshire Bach Choir, so i got changed into some tidy clothes (not shorts!) and cycled down. We set out at about 7 and there was a space for wheelchair users. I chatted to a lovely old lady from Sheffield called Celia who had a great sense of humour, not bad for 81 years old. The choir was good... 44 singing, one on an organ/keyboard, and one playing a theorbo, which I'd not seen before, or at least, never heard the name of it. I really enjoyed the choir.... I liked it that between songs they moved around and changed places, even for one piece three of them went and stood quite a way away from the rest, which made quite a good effect. The only problem was that I understood none of it.... it was, I think, all in Latin.
David enjoyed himself immensely and was very pleased to have been able to attend. We got back to his place just before 10 and I got him some food and sat with him and ha a drink before going... I got home at 11pm.
