Well, I nearly learned how to use my new coffee machine today anyway, by watching youtube videos. It's well complicated and needs quite a bit of setting up, but I figure out some things I was doing wrong already. The coffee has been good though, it's fresh ground beans making a good smell which makes you think you're having great coffee, even if I have got the measurements and timings wrong. It's up up up from here it definitely won't be a nine days wonder. I will convince Clare that this new machine can be promoted from the basement to the kitchen.
One of my earliest recorded gigs thirty one years ago today, Cropdusters in Southampton, but we went along for the Senseless Things. I sold t-shirts to get in free (or more likely stood uselessly near a folding table where other people sold the t-shirts) and also got a t-shirt in payment. I might still have it in the loft but I can't be sure.
Last day here today, off to the Inn Doors in a bit then back in time for dinner. Then a lot of christmas eve driving tomorrow. Apparently the roads are quieter than usual.

Coronavirus weekly death graph for USA + Brazil + India + Russia + Mexico
Estimated 4 cups of coffee from my espresso machine1 probably comes to £175.64 a cup (including actual coffee and now servicing1 so not the 'leccy).
