Term ended last week and since then I was supposed to do 4 days of work, unfortunately I wasn’t very well during the week so I missed two days. Thankfully I’m feeling much better now having had a few days to rest and recover.
Yesterday I went to see my Grandparents in Melton, we sat in their lounge for the afternoon chatting about all sorts of things which is always rather good fun! We had lunch and tea there before heading up to Nottingham for about 6pm. Today we went to the farmers market in the morning and I bought Chris his birthday present (only a month late!), which consisted of a tea egg and two types of tea, some russian caravan and some green tea which looked interesting. We also picked up some blue cheese, some fair trade olive oil, a selection of fancy olives and 6 duck eggs. The farmers market in West Bridgford is very posh!
After the market I went into town with my Mum and we spent a little while looking at guitars. Initially I wasn’t planning on buying one at easter, this was just a chance to go and try some out and get some idea of prices and all that jazz. What happened though was we went to a shop called The Music Inn and there was a very helpful guy in there who told me a little about the guitars they had and pointed me to some good ones to try. I played a couple and we decided that one of them was really good, but the guy told us to sit down, relax, and play lots of them and generally take our time. We spent probably half an hour just messing around on all sorts of guitars from all price ranges (I even played on one worth over £1000) and decided that the one I had liked initially was the best. It was so good in fact that I bought it, so now I own a really nice guitar! Because I love big willy so much, and he has named his guitar Jade, I feel I must also give me guitar an appropriately obvious name, and so I shall refer to it as Faith from now on. It even has it’s name emblazoned on the head so I won’t forget!
Now I can finally give Jon his guitar back, and I suppose I ought to start learning to play some sensible music instead of just messing around like I normally do.
