to be or not

Having made the decision not to play last night, I went to put the car away.

I went back to my house, comforted in the knowledge that I would just sit and do nothing all night, resting my glowing cold sore and try and figure out why I keep getting them.

It was then that the old conscience started to click in.

I suddenly realised, that our usual 3rd player was not playing and had booked a dep. This would mean the guest player would automatically be put on second, because I was not there.
Now this isn't really fair when he was not used to playing so high?

So I went and got the car out again.!!!!

At this point, feeling exhausted anyway, I thought to myself that the promotion would be a good experience for him and I should let him do it. anyway?

So I put the car away again.

Five minutes later, I thought, hang on, this isn't fair on him or the lead player as the section will be unstable.

So got the car out again!!!

I did in fact go and play in the end

I am glad I did, as I don't want to let this control my life, although it certainly interrupts the flow of things playing wise.

As it was, it was not a good night Band wise and the tuning in certain sections was shocking to say the least, which really wound up our lead player. So much so, that he stated that he could quite easily pack it all in.
I replied that if he did, I would have to walk with him, as there was no way I was sitting back in his seat.
The case continues

I also had a run in with an idiot in the car park ,that did not understand the meaning of parking within the white lines. Giving me a dirty look because I tried to squeeze my little car in the small space he had left in the next Bay.
He went off muttering into the Bar and I then had to ask the vocalist, if he would keep an eye on my motor, in case this muppet decided to let my tyres down!

Oh for stress free life!!

Sad to report. That Derek, the Elephant Trainer was buried today.
Well, he should not have stood so close behind the Elephant!!!
(Ok I am not up to form....yet!!)
