Many Small Jobs

A busy day, lots done, but sometimes it feels like little progress is made. PC updates took a first hour. I made an enquiry about exhibition terms in the Crewe community space, announced my appearance on 'The Flip Side' video show this Thursday, made a new box for new paints; I store these vertically but my 4x6 box was full so I needed to make a new one.

That took all of the morning. Then, tests in Prometheus of loading and importing older formats, this let to the discovery a bug which took an hour to fix. Then updated my 300+ phone contacts, using my computer. My old phone stored contacts with one name, one number, but my newer one separates first and second names, so it took over an hour to edit them all, in preparation for setting up a yet newer phone.

Then preparations for the live music on Thursday evening. I'd planned on performing 'Robot' and 'American Lawyer', but the latter tune is difficult to play, yet sounds trivial, if not actually boring or easy; this is the worst combination! I thought that 'Style Guru Fashion Queen' is much more fun, so I've created a new sound and backing track for it on my synthesizer.

Tomorrow will be dominated by the evening appearance, and on Friday Deborah and I are off to Chester to see Sabine Kussmaul at her end-of-year degree/doctorate art show.
