Day 22 of 100 hour challenge

Howdy

I’m a tad late with this one. I have many many excuses for not ‘blogging’ yesterday, the main one being that Selly Park was again a hotspot for crime. Arson at mine on Friday (now confirmed as arson, rather than accidental!) and yesterday morning a drugs raid. Unbeknownst to me, my neughbours to my left have/had a cannabis farm in their house.

On opening the door at around 9am to my lovely friend Liz M and her gorgeous younger son, Felix, approx 20 police people armed with battering rams etc ran past and battered down the back gate and front door of said neighbour’s house. Neighbours tried to escape round the back….. all very exciting. I saw ‘some’ plants come out about 3 hours later when I left to go to a meeting in town (all the forensic police were in white body suits and the road was taped off!), some being about 5 massive ones, but they were still coming – the whole house must have been full of them.

So – no practice in the morning – oh and my boiler also bust, so had to wait around for the serviceman….. then after work I went to visit the most gorgeous Neil S in Shropshire. We went to a pub in ludlow to watch a band – I studied the bass player who was called Bill – he played a fretless bass, he quite good.

So Day 22 consisted of raids and bust boilers, work, train rides and me studying a player and his style, rather than playing – valid I reckon!
