Monday 4th December 2023

Got up a bit later than planned, feeling very weary. Porridged. Did a little work at the computer, then headed out on inspections in Kilburn, Brondesbury Park, and West Hampstead. Returned home for a late lunch, and did another hour at the computer. Rehearsed my guitar parts ahead of this evening's rehearsal at the Tower Theatre. Cooked ravioli for dinner, with chilli pesto and peas. Drove over to Stoke Newington for band rehearsal. Worked with Zelia on Nat King Cole's "Christmas Song". Chaachi sounded good too...don't think my guitar playing adds much, but will keep practising. Enjoyed Vyvian's rendition of "The Usherette's Blues", a cleverly wrought comic song in which an usherette bemoans the fact that her job means she never gets to see the end of any of the films that are on when she's doing her shift.
