I managed to snap the E string tuning my violin yesterday. No problem I thought to myself, I’ll pop into Egham on Monday and get a new string from the string shop there. Of course, I didn’t check the web site or anything, so rolled up to the shop to find…it doesn’t open on Monday! Oh well, so much for fitting the string today and getting some practice in. Tomorrow’s another day I guess.

Spent the evening playing five-a-side football with work colleagues, followed by snooker with Robin. Whilst my team lost at football by one goal, most likely due to my lack of fitness, I managed to win at snooker with 2-1 frames. Not a bad day.
