Tuesday

Yesterday turned out to be hot and muggy so I was glad to spent most of the day indoors. It didn't quite go according to plan because I found some vouchers due to expire on the last day of July so I had to fit in a trip to Argos to spend them (see folding table, kitchen compost bin and new steam iron in photo above), and then decided that while I was at that end of town I might at well do the band's banking as well. The heat nearly finished me off!

When I got home I turned on the fans, drank gallons of water and started photographing all the stuff. I did the things taking the most space first and then stopped with the photographing to concentrate on placing the adverts - it will be a lot easier as soon as the 'big' things are gone. After another stop for refreshments I carried on and finished photographing everything else then placed the adverts for most of the rest, and I've emailed a friend to ask about the remainder because I don't really know what any of it is ... just a pile of mystery objects  to my untrained eye. He emailed me back late last night with full descriptions and an indication of value so today I will try to find time to place those adverts as well.

I've also almost completed the draft of the band handbook ready to issue for the first review by the committee. Once I'd got my head around how I wanted it organised it was simple to do. I will finish typing it up later this week and email it out to the others, and in the meantime will start printing the new Christmas music ready to take it to the printer for the bulk copies. 

Today, will be less busy! It's the monthly book group tonight but the rest of the day will be spent indoors ... typing up the handbook, placing adverts, printing music, some personal admin, and playing the piano or tenor horn.
