in hand

 The doctor is fast and awfully efficient, he leaves this patient feeling as a side of pork would feel if it could feel at all. The operation was a success, but it did not have the positive results that were wanted.

Too bad is that.

Now there will be more tests and more examinations. Who knows what on earth will happen now, who knows what will be discovered now. It is all a bit worrying.

Spent the rest of the morning sorting things and cleaning things and making longer telephone calls about the unhappiness with the first attempt by the designer. It is too smart by far.

Repair the record player and revel in the splendid sound that this old machine can produce. The high end from a past era. Resolve to try to buy some records at the next possible flea market. Records are long gone really, and now they are returning. 

After a cup of coffee in the café try to find the stall that had the records. This was a special thing outside the music shop. The stall is not there today-

Sad.

Go home and spend the whole evening trying to make a mock up for the artists. It is easier to talk when there is something in hand.
