A busy Sunday. Too busy? Too busy.

Four private lessons (first one: annoyed me, because the student is so awesome - she's so young, so talented, responds so well and did amazingly today but her parents didn't care and wouldn't watch her perform the song she learnt and she was upset and I agree, I was upset too - every child yearns the respect of their parents and it's gutting when they're 'too busy' to care. She'll do well, though, she'll be somebody amazing, Second lesson: fine. Third lesson: kid getting a bit stroppy but we got there in the end. Fourth lesson: brilliant and challenging) and then off to look at the venue where we'll be getting married next year. Looks nice enough. All wedding venues look roughly the same.

Got back, started work on episode 4 of the radio sitcom, wasn't great, will start again tomorrow.

The show in which I meet all the footballers has been thrown a bit by the fact that one of them died yesterday. Which explains why NR wasn't keen to meet me, even if he was so apologetic about it. Doesn't feel right doing that show now, despite the (bit of) work that's gone into it. My venue person has let me change it, so I'll do a stand-up gig in that slot instead.

Evening had another performance of HG, around Phill's house. He had a lot of really lovely people over; performance was so sloppy for the first ten minutes, but got better. Audience got into it about 20 minutes in and everyone seemed happy at the end. This show is so intense, though, you could just feel it in the room. I enjoyed that a lot.
