Rise at 7:30, and out to The Flea for 8:15. This is always an exercise in discrimination for me, especially this early in the season. I have a natural predilection for collecting, so wandering through rows of other people's stuff pulls me. This time of year there is a pent up supply of castoffs, estate liquidations and tag-sale detritus from the winter. I have a few tactics to manage this (beyond the basic awareness exercises), so I was able to walk away with one small purchase - an unusual, but useful, set of sockets.
After this home to a quick snack, and then to the first farmer's market of the season. As expected, a bit of a madhouse, but we arrived early, so parking and navigating the stalls was pretty straightforward. We had a plan, and pretty much stuck to it. Got a few things for the Wednesday dinner, and studiously avoided the amazingly good anginette tea cookies from Meriano's.
-------------------------------------
Afternoon back at the place with the shipping crates. Someone had already come and broken down the tops of the crates, so all I had left was the last base. Part of me was relieved, as that would have been a lot of work. I now have sufficient wood for at least one potting bench and a woodworking bench. I need to rearrange the garage space so I can store wood there, but in the meantime, things are drying on one of the wood piles.
Garbage and cat litter competed, then to the shower in preparation for evening 2 of prep work with the Circle.
--------------------------------------
Back from the Circle. An hour delay in beginning, as one of the team, coming off a 17 hour work day, overslept. A good 2 hours of work, continuing to audition repertoire, make adjustments, and improve the quality and sense of what will be performed for the taping on the 9th. I have a sense of what I would include in the list, and need to draft a final set list and running order for Victor & Dev, as well as a rough overview of the plan for the day. Things will change in the moment, but I feel that the team is well prepared for this.
Home at 11:30, and to bed. A day off from the guitar.
