July 11th - Day 84

One of the features of this project that I have been impressing upon willing listeners is that most music I have seen has been free. Over the 84 days negotiated thus far, I have coughed up compulsary money only ten times. This free-ness, however, is an illusion. Today my children and I went to The Goose Green Primary and Nursery School Summer Carnival and watched a few pupils drumming. That was free. What wasn't free were the Thomas The Tank Engine ride, the bouncy castle, the ice creams, the other Thomas The Tank Engine ride, the jerk pork and the other things that cost money. Our forty minutes of Carnival fun costed me twenty quid. But we did have fun. And I bumped into some friends I hadn't seen in a while. And I saw some drumming.
