Monkeys are out there

[woolymonkey]

This is a good week if you want to see/hear monkeys doing stuff.  Put another way, those who'd rather avoid monkey encounters will need to work a little harder than usual.  

For five days only, starting today, Spidermonkey is on work experience at Cambridge Framing Centre. Cambridge people with unframed artworks, you know where to take them.  (While he was there for his interview in March, somebody came in with an original Picasso bullfight picture that had never been framed. I don't suppose it's like that every day though.)

At 12 on Wednesday on Castle Mound, Squirrelmonkey will be playing a solo trumpet fanfare to open Music on the Mound and raise money for Parkinson's disease research and support. I'll be there in the audience with a picnic if anyone wants to join me--probably just for the first bit as Squirrel will need to rush back to school for rehearsals of the Year 7-8 production of Godspell. (The performance of that should be around lunchtime on Friday at Parkside school. Ask me on Thursday if you're interested.)

STOP PRESS
After a phone call from the County Music organiser, it looks as though Music on the Mound will also feature the talents of musique_monkey on accordion duetting with Squirrel (programme tbc when they've found something they can both play).

would love to join you for Weds al-fresco concert!

Cool! I think I'll be meeting Squirrel at Parkside at about 11 and walking up from there. Concert starts--with Squirrel's fanfare--at 12.
Let's be in touch later, or we can just meet there. How long I'll stay depends on when Squirrel needs to be back at school and how much help he needs to get him there.

meeting there makes sense, I'll be heading over from Chesterton

Argh. I have to be elsewhere at noon on Wed (as usual). I hope it goes well.

Thank you. And hopefully see you over some beer on Jesus Green on one of the other days.

The world is full of music scored for accordion and trumpet. I expect to hear it over here in Jetlagland. 4am my time. I'll be up.

If the wind's in the East (it is today--brrrrr!), you may well catch a few bars. I believe they're tossing up between 'Tobago Bound' and 'Shipbuilding', so I'll leave you to work out which they chose.
