Great day yesterday. Up at 6:30 AM buzzing with thoughts about how to record my voice better. Took Miles to RKade skate park for final session. Moving. Been going there 10 years. Integral part of Miles's social contact when being home educated. Visited Mum in afternoon. Small Richmond walk bathed in Autumn sunlight. Mum chirpy and looking well. Took family home. Out swiftly to York for walk and wild country music session at the Community Pub the Golden Ball in Bishophill. Many friends there not seen for 17 years. Known most for 30 . Warm welcome. Right-hand well pumped. Loving thanks to Frank Pallister, Pete James, Harry, Mike, Ken Meadows, the lovely Suzie Mackenzie and partner Dave, Bert, and the big and warm Gill. 2.5 hours of manically incessant country music with no break. Just what I needed. Nearly warmed up at the end of it. Didn't play well at first. Shined eventually. More into harmonica now . Feel less disabled on that instrument. Going to attend Butterknowle music sessions again but using a looper to accompany myself. Back at 12:30 AM Fiona patiently and sleepily listened to my evenings tale! Brilliant wife and friends !
