Sudden trip to Hawick to defeat Captain Paranoia regarding the heating, collect a guitar, and see family.
House was resolutely unchanged. It's a determined bugger, that house.
T.C. Electronics Fireworx arrived just before leaving. It's GOOD. It's Very Good. It's also considerably more than a "reverb and delay" and makes my brain hurt a bit trying to comprehend what I can get out of it.
New guitar = rare. Didn't realise. Godin Freeway EMG, which appears to have been launched in 2006 and already is no longer on their site. No trem, just two EMG pickups and Godin build and design - the sustain is impressive and you can feel the whole guitar vibrate with the notes. That's something I've never noticed before. Pictures when I CBA.
Downstairs = won't be renting it. This house has terrible rising damp problems; the Theatre, condescending & inconsiderate as usual, are going to be doing a load of renovations, appeared completely disinterested in the fact that an existing, paying, NOT trashing the place tenant would like the downstairs too, and I just know there are going to be builders dumping skips near/in the way of the cars and other such shit. So rather than renting the rest, I'm looking for a 4/5 bedroom place of similar cost (or lower) to the two rents combined in "roughly the same area". Bonus points for garage or bloody great big driveway.
I've never felt like we're allowed to feel this is home. The theatre people are just downright rude and inconsiderate. I know other people renting get to feel like their home is THEIR home.
Hopefully we'll find something soon. I think what would really help them with their renovations is losing the rental income entirely; perhaps the next tenant will be treated with more respect.
