The offer turned out to be for this year though, so we have a few weeks to go from a relaxed ‘we have a year to sort this all out’ to being ready to go!

He’s applied for his room in Halls and his student loan. Today he’s sorting out which computer to take. It looks like we may loose the Eee Box. :)

Mike from their band is clearly and understandably in two minds. First and foremost  he is genuinely pleased for Steven, but with lots of bookings looming he’s also wondering how to keep the band going. Anyone know a good Bass player available for the odd gig? ;)

The lack of notice forced upon us is not good, but such is life. Looks like I’ll be driving the 280 miles round trip a few times in the future. :)

We got to meet lots of friends and family. The music provided by the The Gophers and Cuttin Edge was superb. The food… well the food was even better. Too much of it, but that’s never a bad thing.

Roll August 2010 when our David hits 18! ;)

He needs to have it for the 7th February, the day of his party, because his band are playing for us.

So he is now the proud owner of a Fender 70′s Jazz Bass.
