exciting plumbing stuff
The plumber rang on Tues! He is supposedly turning up tomorrow morning to actually start work! Cross your fingers for me that he actually turns up, does the stuff he was asked to do, in a reasonable timeframe. Oh and doesn't find anything disasterous in the process (touch wood)
Oh my life is so exciting. I was vastly amused today, I went a bought a toilet. I have a toilet in my car, weird. Not often one has a toilet in one's car.
PF was much fun.
-There were two overseas groups that were FAB and I have never seen before, score two completely new recordings, yay.
-There were 3 (? at least) known, favourite and fabulous Aussie groups that I was delighted to hear. Two of which have new CDs!
-Also a couple of other Aussie acts that were good enough to buy CDs of. Hoorah, experiments
-lots of other acts, some great but not to my taste, some only at 60-80% of fab for various reasons. One or two that I really didn't like and many more that I didn't even get to see.
Did you pick that I was really keen to aquire some new music? My collection has been going round and round and getting a bit tired.
Had a great time with my travelling companions. We were together for some of the time but wandered off at others in various combinations. Little C (4yrs) was truly delightful, most of the time.
I came home with three souvenirs other than CDs.
-a half size french market basket, lovely
-a Howard Showers woolen argyle vest, at about 40% of original price
-a mother-of-pearl heart shaped broach
Not very folky eh? I managed to avoid all the crystals, badly made clothing, weird cheap cast jewellery. Even managed to avoid buying more knitting wool which usually happens at PF. No musical instruments made it home with me either after last year's penny whistle did not get played. I need another lifetime to take up all the stuff I am interested in, really.
It was massively hot on Sun, 39C. Strangely it didn't bother me like it usually would. I was so focussed on the music that I wasn't paying much attention. That is after having taken the usual precautions so I also did not get burnt or anything. Did get temporarily poisoned by the takeaway food a bit though. Better now. I actually enjoyed sleeping in my little tent too. All good. J even fixed my front door after we got home. A great relief to have it close properly again.
I could go on making random comments but I should go get ready for bed instead. I need to be up and decent before the plumber arrives!

You sound like you got some nice loot. Amazing heat, huh? We had that in SA as well. Yukky.
If the plumber does a good job, would you mind giving me their details? I need to install a new loo.

I will let you know how the plumber goes. Happy to give you his contacts, don't know if he works out of this area (he is based only a few streets away) but one can always ask.
