in the park, but still.... An actual concert, with audience and everything. (We've had an audience the last couple of rehearsals, because when you rehearse in a park there will be an audience.) It went pretty well, considering. J noted picky things, but I'm like "dude, we haven't played together in over a year, and we've had less than 10 hours of rehearsal to work on 75 minutes of concert. Deal". (I was a bit annoyed with him anyway, because he kept telling Mum that he'd record the concert and maybe post a private youtube link so she could see it, and then he showed up two minutes before the concert started. Apparently, running errands with K is more important than being on time for my first concert in over a year and doing things that he volunteered to do for Mum.)
Have begun the actual "poking at cars" step of car shopping. I looked at the Insight and the Accord, and the Camry and a Prius. Esme will probably not fit under the cargo lid of the Prius. She may or may not fit through the trunk opening on the other vehicles. I don't *want* a crossover/SUV, but I may not have a choice -- doesn't matter how big the trunk is if I can't get my gear into it. :(
Woke up this morning to rain and a bit of thunder. Nice of it to hold off until *after* last night's concert. I did some weeding yesterday, and it was a bit of a struggle to get the weeds out of the ground. I was in a garden with lots of plant cover, and I expect that the soil in the front gardens is even drier and harder to weed. This afternoon should be good for weeding unless it gets really hot. OTOH, J is apparently planning on going car shopping this afternoon, which he didn't bother to tell me until late yesterday and it's hard to schedule appointments with not a lot of lead time. I was able to get a hold of one of the people I talked to on Wednesday, but haven't heard from the other. (and of course, he's the one who really pushed making an appointment - that dealership is closer to AA, and they're still running under late pandemic policies, although masks are optional at both.)
