Morning all, it’s pretty grey here but at least it is dry. We are going to Miss Osc’s for dinner as it is Father’s Day - it will just be herself and Kellie as SIL is bringing Michael and his boy cousins to see the astronaut Chris Hadfield. Michael is not impressed as he is missing darts and golf but I’ve been telling him how interesting Chris Hadfield is so hopefully he will open up his teenage mind and enjoy it!
Edward is selling his pedal steel guitar and we put it on FB Marketplace. Someone is coming to see it today - I think he’ll probably buy it as he is driving up from Wexford and we have confirmed the price. Edward just wants to cover the cost of a new instrument he has bought, an electronic wind instrument - when he was young he played the euphonium, but wasn’t able to play the trumpet or saxophone as he had problems playing a reed instrument. This will allow him to produce the sound of reed instruments. The leader of one of the bands on the ship played one, Edward had a good chat with him about it and has ordered a basic model, it’s coming from Germany and will hopefully be here on Monday. I’ve been assured that he will be able to plug in his headphones when playing

Of course getting the steel guitar ready to go has meant a rearrangement of downstairs and involved cleaning and dusting

All done now, and Michael has just messaged that he is going to pop over and see us (and watch darts with Grandad). I’d better hop in the shower!
