The problem with making your own pesto is that you utterly ruin yourself for the supermarket stuff which you will never want to eat again but which was so reasonable and convenient. Pesto recipes never mention this. I blame Big Pesto Recipe.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... It's about context. With the World Cup happening, if a random pub has England flags flying, it doesn't bother me, it just means that Sport is likely to be happening there, and all is well. In the absence of anything like that, the same flag (x10 or more, in particular) on a random pub is a clear sign that I will probably not be welcome there for looking a bit foreign.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... It's a thought, yes. Would need to get my ducks in a row quite a bit more than they currently are, so this August is a def no but maybe next year? Never actually got booked to play myself, but played with others who were booked several times. Having a suitable van, as I believe you now do (yes?), is definitely the Sensible Thing. Do send my love to Cornelius if you run into him :)

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Played there a few times* over the years, and no, it's not something you do for money, but the vibe always was exactly as you describe, and glad to hear you've found it, @nprofile1q..., def one for you. Glad they are still going and doing well. Lovely folk.

*I *think* I might even have played at the very first one but absolutely no-one can remember quite what happened... :)

Violin friends!

Stupid newbie (<3yrs in) violin question.

When my violin goes out of tune, I have noticed that the E string usually goes out of tune in the other direction to the A, D and G strings. If the E is sharp, then A, D and G tend to be flat, and vice versa.

Not what happens on other stringed instruments I play - eg w/ guitar etc, everything goes flat or sharp according to weather. Could sth bad be up with my bridge? Or is this normal, just another Weird Thing Violins do?

I have a guitar question. Is it normal to have to retune your guitar every time you put a capo on and take it off? I'm not talking like the 8th fret, I'm talking like the 3rd fret. Does this mean m...

@nprofile1q... Depends on the guitar. My Ovation is mostly ok with tuning / capo shenanigans, but my Ibanez Artcore jazz guitar - which tbf also goes out of tune if you look at it funny or pick it up wrong - not so much. Most of my capo usage was on a gig where I was required to a) use the Artcore and b) use capo a lot, so in the end I had to just suck it up and pretend it was a banjo.

I'll be playing a solo set of songs tomorrow evening at 8pm UK time as part of #RFFF25 over at https://party.radiofreefedi.net/ so I've made a small picture to celebrate.

If you can't make it tomorrow, there's a series of live streams happening over there until the end of the month (details in link) all of which are highly recommended.

Hope to see you at one or more of them.
