Got up after a bit of a lie in. Made some brunch then began prepping the orange and almond cake for our guests this afternoon. Had to pop out to Waitrose to get some more ingredients. The prep was quite fiddly…had to peel half a dozen clems…Aki did a good job of setting them in concentric circles. Listened to the Sunderland v Newcastle game…rather dull, but exploded into life when Newcastle’s centre forward headed powerfully past his own keeper! People turned up around 1600 for band practice…low turnout today. Only one violin, one accordion, and a flute…the cake went down well. They pushed off around 1730. Aki baked mackerel for dinner, with rice and a vegetable soup. Bob Eaton replied to yesterday’s email saying he would need me in rehearsal first week of March…so I won’t be able to go to see David Byrne with Aki on March 3rd…so we watched a filmed version of his American Utopia show, which we saw at Hammersmith Apollo about five years ago…human, empathetic, intelligent fellow…with some great songs!
