Grey and wet, rain forecast all day. Maximum temperature of 9°C, feeling cooler due to the wind.
Don't think I'll be doing much today.

One of the great stories about the Selmer MKVI saxophones is that they sounded so good because the brass used came from unused artillery shells from WW2. This brass itself originated from melted down church bells the Germans had stolen.
Great story, but completely untrue!

Good grief, Jamie is doing a gig in Asda, Keighley, 08:00 this morning. A gig is a gig, and nobody can question his work ethic!
Good on you, Jamie!

Rain forecast for today, temperatures between 10-14°c, though it feels cooler than that.
That's a Crow flying by.
I could really do with some sleep!

A wet morning, temperatures 10-12° and dropping to 6° tonight.
Feels like 5° now due to the wind.
Knees are in a bad way this morning, even more so than the hip. This arthritis is no fun.

That’s it done, 3 years of studying Jazz Performance at Leeds Conservatoire, and graduated today, with a 1st Class Honours.
Proud Dad.

Off to Leeds later, ready for Jamies graduation tomorrow, which is at The Leeds Armouries. Sam will be meeting us there, it'll be good to be with them both again.
Just the one bus, and two trains to negotiate!
