I love it.

It's from the Muppet Wiki. She's called Prairie Dawn, and she played the piano in Sesame Street

Phew thank goodness for that. My rage may not have been held back otherwise

Missypiano, behave

And muppets are great anyway, so that's fine

Very good, Katie

I see from your picture that you've become a posh telly Barry

ahhhhh feeling happy

Is that because you've managed to make 170 posts in three days?!

Look out Solari / Barry-Clari!

haha Czerny, i think i have gone slightly post crazy. As you may have read, i've been working till 9pm at the office, so while its been quiet i've been taking advantage

Post crazy is goooooood!

woop woop for crazy posting!!

Someone is setting fireworks off Am I missing something?

A firework party?

fireworks? at this time of year?? lou i think im missing something too!

I looked up February 24th on wikipedia for anniversaries...best I can find is the 85th birthday of Jean Alexander (who was Hilda Ogden in Corrie), does she live near you???

haha that was so random barry!

We had fireworks the other day. Can't have been anything special because they didn't last long

Car Expert

Couldn't find anything better...

Not that I know of

Wrong side of the hill really, isn't it?

Ermmmm, yep

Either that or Coronation Street is very long. And hilly.

I'm going to ask my flute teacher about flute teaching tomorrow...

yay!!!!!!!!!!

While practicing some Chopin with some big jumps, managed to hit a spurious button on the piano and switched the sound to... bass + cymbals. Gave myself a right fright

Go for it nicki!!!



I do this to pupils who aren't paying attention in lessons... lol...

LOL! What a brilliant "punishment"

Go for it.

...urgh... hangover. What a silly idea that was on a school night!

Morning Solari, I know how you feel. I's shattered this morning!

I've been shattered all week.. so why it seemed like a good idea to go out last night, I don't know!

I'm going to put a big sign on the inside of my front door saying "Don't go to the pub, do more practice instead. You'll only feel like **** in the morning anyway!"

At least it's almost the weekend!

Tell me about it! This week seems to have really dragged! But as you say, at least its almost the weekend!

Have you got any nice plans for the weekend??

Sleep! Lots of sleep... Tired, stressed, need some R&R Lots of practice as well I think. You?

This is, of course, assuming that I get this stuff fixed today and don't end up working another weekend...

pretty much the same as you! sleep in tomorrow morning, then my clari is off for repair (other half left the heating on so i now have a clari with locked joints) then planty of practice for me

I'm hungry and thus, I'm cranky. Just saying.

thats not good NMilton, go grab yourself some food im the same, im just evil if im hungry haha

* Make appointment at opticians for eye test and almost inevitably new glasses (expensive; but will be nice to see properly again!!) Possibly same day if they have space or a cancellation.
* Go to garden centre and buy lots of seed and a few plants. If the weather is amenable, re-pot patio apple trees in to larger pots, chop down/dig up small front hedge.
* Get large chunk of 2,000 word essay on Ovid's Metamorphoses written.
* Introduce little new ratlet to existing rats.
* Possibly go to visit somebody in the next town who needs to rehome his rats and take two little girlies off of his hands
* Find time to play through my exam pieces which are definitely getting to the 'driving me nuts' stage (5 weeks a 3 days, that's all I have to put up with them for...!)
* Do general weekend stuff like paying bills, changing bedding (for humans and rats; but absolutely not for the cat, unless you want Serious Sulking)
* And hopefully get a nice lot of relaxing sleep at some point as it's been a bit lacking this week

Weekends I look forward to, but when I list the things I want/need to do, Monday starts to look relaxing (until the minute I'm at work - at which point it's dull, dull, dull, as I'd rather be practising even those darn annoying pieces or out on my bike or in my garden or pretty much anything other than being at work!)

This isn't very random, is it?

Oooooohhh!!! Do you know Britten's 6 Metamophoses after Ovid? http://www.oboeclassics.com/Britten.htm

Consoling myself with a packet of Randoms.

And why does my computer seem to be picking up some background interference? Sounds like it's getting snatches from a radio station or something.

I have rotting rodents in my kitchen ceiling. The critters got in from next door (which has been empty for 3 months) and set up snugly in the joint roof space in our parallel extensions Builder put poison down and now I have an aroma to die for (no pun intended). Alpha Male Jazz Cat came over and put his snoz up one of the light fitting holes and nearly fell off the ladder I now have to have my kitchen ceiling dismantled
