At last, the sun appeared again this morning. Arriving at work, Claudio & I worked together to fix an air leak on an accordion, before Stefano and I were tasked with working on a diatonic accordion. While I demoted the reeds - thankfully only screws involved, no wax - Stefano set about replacing the key felts. He cut them out of a large piece of felt - they were a funny shape so that wasn't easy.
At lunch time I walked home and had the same lunch as yesterday. I've decided I need to do some exercise out here, so today I bit the bullet and went for a run. Stupidly I went in the heat of the day and too soon after lunch, so it didn't last long! And by golly, do my legs hurt now! It's been a while...
Back to work at 3 and I took photos of a shabbily built diatonic accordion, before I was asked to glue Stefano's key felts on the other diatonic accordion. Some of the new felts were too small but we made new ones. Suddenly Claudio got very excited and told me to get in the car. I had no idea where we were going until we got there. It turned out to be the local DIY shop, where we bought a small metal shelving unit for the shop. We were back by 6 and I now had to remove old fabric gauze from the body of the diatonic accordion with a portable sander, before Claudio showed me a couple of jobs I have to do tomorrow.
We went home just after 6:30 and I put my dinner on straight away because my tummy was rumbling - the leftovers of my sauce from yesterday with pasta. I ate it while talking to Stephanie on Skype before heading next door to watch the football and eat chocolate.
I'm absolutely shattered, so it's bed time for me now.
Ciao x
