We haven’t heard from either Andy or the person who’s organizing the music.

I’ve set Andrea on chasing down the latter … We really, really need to know who’s coming, when they’re coming and what they need in the way of power cables, tables, chairs, refreshments …

Gretchen, meantime, is engaged in twitching-at-a-distance. She’s with her younger daughter for the week over the other side of the Pennines, near Newark.

I suppose I could always emigrate … but I’d need to go further than Newark.

I hear New Zealand’s very nice this time of year.
