Day 4: formally known as the mother of all headaches

Day 4 of the Eisteddfod and one more full day to go. By 9am I had the mother of all headaches that no amount of panadol, black tea, green tea or coffee was shifting. In spite of this I did spend a very enjoyable session this morning listening to young pianists. Some very impressive 8-12 […]
