Today was a waste of fucking time.
So they organised a rehearsal for 12:30. I didn’t set off until the last minute as usual so was late. As I was driving there I decided out of courtesy to text and let them know I was stuck in traffic. Immediately I received a call back to say “Oh sorry, we’re stuck in traffic too. We’ll be there at 2pm – really sorry, probably best if you go home and then come back.”
Fucking bullshit. Why didn’t she call this morning? Total balls.
So anyway went back and filled up the car for tomorrow’s planned journey back up North. Then went home for a minute and cooked up some beans and headed out again.
When I finally got to the rehearsal studios there was no where to park. Turns out it was all Permit holders only. I had to find a spot on a meter which was miles down the road.
Anyhow to cut a long story short, trombone didn’t turn up, there was no bass, just the guitarist and singer. I was playing a lot of splits and they seemed unimpressed. But they didn’t seem to realise that one trumpet playing horn lines sounds shit anyway.
Anyhow, later on had problems with my car. Was shitting myself. I struggled to park it down this road about 5 times. Nearly reversing it up into trees and onto curbs. Right mess. My legs were shaking. It wouldn’t start, then when it did start it kept revving up on its own! Weird! Managed to get home anyway.
Saw neighbour tonight for the first time in weeks. We had a fairly good interaction so all my worries again proved wrong! Talked about the girl moving out, going out to cinema again, music, jobs, festivals, holidays. He seemed to be bouncing off me more and enjoying my company a bit more. Eye contact issues though.
