Today was spent doing two things I adore; making music and watching Formula 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Morlay & District Concert Band<\/a> played at Dartmouth Park in Morley today. There was a cracking turn out – one band member’s dad counted 102 people listening – and the band played well. There was just one piece of the 19 we played that was in any way dodgy, but nobody seemed to notice too much…<\/p>\n

The last time the band played there it was a very overcast day and the concert was eventually abandoned as the heavens opened with thunder and lightening. That’s not a great feeling when you’re surrounded by metal based instruments in a metal based bandstand… (I am well aware of the Faraday Cage<\/a> however).<\/p>\n

This year, however, the weather was glorious! It took until the second half of the concert for me to feel at ease and begin to enjoy it. I hate being the man in the spotlight. Still, all was well.<\/p>\n

The Belgian<\/a> Grand Prix was ok – not up to its usual high standard of racing – but enjoyable nonetheless. I really must get this site up to date with the stats again – that’s a job for later this week when I’m bored of preparing for work.<\/p>\n

I didn’t find a geocache<\/a> today. Mrs Pitts did to continue our streak. I said the other day that we couldn’t surpass our previous best ever month, but I’d miscalculated and we certainly can. The cache she found was GC4K0B0:\u00a0“Palma’s Suprise #13, Not a ‘Shakin’ one !<\/em>” (The spelling and grammar isn’t mine).<\/p>\n

This was a solo mission for Flash as Grubbly was rather busy today. I got muggled putting it back by the same bloke who was interested the other day. I know this because he asked if I was ‘one of those GPS<\/a> people’. ‘Yes,’ I replied. ‘Thought you must have been with you loitering around there,’ he said. ‘Yes, we do a lot of that…’ I said on my way back to the car. Signed log although it was rather damp. TFTC<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
