I is for

Ink pen.

A leisurely start to the day, followed by a trip to town for some packing up for tomorrow and fill the car with diesel. A lovely dog walk where the sun shone and Reggie for the first time in weeks didn't need towelling off before getting back home, spring must be on its way.

Then a final rehearsal and pep talk before the contest tomorrow. 12 of the 29 playing tomorrow have never contested before so we were talked through what happens.

Got home had a bit of tea, ironed my trousers whilst mr H polished my (and his) shoes, found my beloved old ink pen, and any minute now am going to turn in as the taxi is picking us up at 0620 in the morning, no cars just in case we do well and have a couple of drinks!
