After last night's frivolities I allowed myself an extra fifteen minutes in bed today. When I got to work at 9:45 Stefano had started transferring the microphone onto the correct accordion (follow on from yesterday) so I gave him a hand. Claudio asked me to check the new accordion (also mentioned in yesterday's blog) and then told me to spend a while playing around with the MIDI system, as I've never had a go at using it before. It was good fun and interesting, but I'm not sure I could use it all the time. The new owner of this accordion came (drove down from Switzerland) and tried it out - he asked me to play it for him, too. Another customer whose new accordion was also finished and ready for collection came and I played that for him as well. With all this excitement and business I got home well after 1 o'clock and had mozzarella on toast for lunch.
After lunch I played did accordion practice and spoke to home on Skype. The connection was terrible but everyone was there - Mum, Dad, Daniel, Sophie, Grandma and Grannie. Later in the evening I spoke to Stephanie on Skype, too, but the connection problems reeked havoc once more. I watched Jason Manford's DVD over a dinner of tomato & basil sauce with pasta, followed by an apple and ice cream.
It's tipped it down with rain almost all day so I've been in my pyjamas since I got back from work with wet clothes on.
