I went to Cambridge yesterday.

I didn't go to Brian Jordan, as I can't leave that shop without music in my hand, and I need to play some of the music I have rather than buy more.

I did browse in Miller's, a shop that is usually busy enough that I don't feel any guilt if I leave without a purchase. Nothing too exciting there.

Yet somehow I managed to come out with Musicianship in Practice Vol 1. G1-3.

These fun thoughts about G1 Prac Mus are all back again :eep:

(I just can't wait to take the day off work. People ask me why I take the day off, or 'are you doing anything nice?' - when I have OU exams I don't usually say, but it makes me smile to myself inside when I know I'm doing something completely insane [by their standards] with my day off!)

I love beetroot. I can buy locally grown organic ones too with the most glorious flavour.

Roasted in a dab of olive oil, or shredded in salad.

I worry about turning pink at this time of year laugh.gif

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 sad.gif

I suspect that means I need to go shopping biggrin.gif

(In case you are interested, the carrier in my handbag is now Lindisfarne Mead, and my cycling bag is appropriately Ben Hayward Cycles [Cambridge]. I went through our drawer of nice carriers, and they were the best I could find...)

A HUGE spider just landed on the wall beside my desk. I screamed slightly and a male came running to help me. laugh.gif

(Shame he lost the spider and the thing is probably still lurking under one of my books, waiting to pounce.)

tongue.gif and far be it from me to suggest that it was a tactic to "lose" the spider in the hope that he'd be called back again rolleyes.gif

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 laugh.gif

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 biggrin.gif

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. smile.gif
