My last Early Music Shop carrier bag has just given up.
I got one in July 07 when I bought my treble. I then got another one in Nov 07 at the early music festival. One went in to service as 'the carrier bag that lives in my handbag', the other became my work-clothes bag for when cycling to/from work.
And now they have both given up

I suspect that means I need to go shopping

The good news is it's nearly time for Greenwich again......

http://www.earlymusicshop.com/exhib/exstart.html

So you'll be able to get a replacement.....

Can't go this year (clashes with Eccles and the sax day)

Do buy extra recorders for yourselves to make up for the fact I won't be buying any

Hmm, I have just booked the Friday off work. Don't know whether or not I'm actually going to go, the problem will be going and not doing any impulse-purchasing. Still, maybe I could get a bit of music...or a book...or a sopranino to fill in the blatant gap in my collection...or play with a great bass...
I suspect I probably will go, if only to get a new carrier bag

At least she is in the right place, and hopefully they will disperse the clot before it does too much damage. Years can always get worse, but I hope yours shows an upturn very soon.

If those are Barry-type jokes, I can manage a few more!

What do you call a man with a paper bag on his head? Russell.

What do you call a man with a seagull on his head? Cliff.

What do you call a couple of thieves? A pair of (k)nickers.

Hope that helps, DC. I'm so sorry you have such a lot of troubles at the moment.

Did anyone see the new series called Merlin on television recently? It was heavily promoted, and I saw a bit of the first episode but then what happened to it - I never saw it again after that, nor did I see it promoted... was it pulled, and if so, why???

Thank you all very much! They are just the kind of jokes that feed my sense of humour!!

My niece has two clots on her lung and will be in hospital for at least a week. Thay are keeping close observatons on her because she has problems with breathing. My stepdad is home and is going in next week to have a catheter fitted which will be a big help to him, and also to see his Specialist who will be dicussing the pros and cons of starting chemo.

All is calm at the moment...

We all appreciate your good wishes.
