Don't you be fighting with sub-standard reeds today, sbhoa

oops..... as long as it's only you who noticed that one.

read post no. 1950, this thread

uh-oh....

Happy practising, sbhoa!

Sleeping til 11am , going for lunch with Bag (first time in AGES) , spending Christmas vouchers on food shopping , then playing around on pooter and chatting to my friend Moo on msn .

Gym and a quick trip to Sainsburys. What an exciting afternoon!

Confirming myself on the TYO tour of Barcelona at the end of August. Not entirely sure how I will finance the trip but i got a few months to sort it out!

Watching Question Time on iPlayer - that young chap got owned! He won't live that down for a very long time...

Are you referring to the lad who took on the Daily Mail toady and then backed down? He should have stood his ground.

That quote is from several years ago now, so I'm not sure if it's actually still true. I think that's what Littlejohn was getting at.

As for toady - that's what I thought, Littlejohn has taken on that sort of appearance!

Watching an extremely interesting television programme about global warming in which the theory being put forward was that cosmic activity influences cloud formation which influences climate and that human activity is very secondary. This is not politically correct - but then neither was Gallileo. It appears that the powers that be are trying to stifle this piece of scientific information in case it turns out to be correct.

I was at the cinema seeing Clash of the Titans, now I'm watching Bill Bailey at home

I was in the hot tub!

What powers that be?

Listening to the Radio 3 programme that included an interview about the Llandaff cathedral organ.

chopping back in the garden

(and I did hear some of the Llandaff programme earlier too !)

Just done a bit of clari practice, and now I've turned on Jeff Stelling's Soccer Saturday, to hopefully listen to him say how well Charlton are doing

Oooh, no! All the footie people in our house have gone out (well, I don't count because I only support Watford who're bound to lose, they usually do ) so daughter is about to glue herself to the TV to watch the boat-race. This is the first one that's had real meaning for her, if you see what I mean.

Meanwhile, I've got the problem of who to support - when the OH was the only one interested, out of fairness to the teams I'd support the light blues, but now we've got one real light blue, and one real dark blue. I think I'll go out shopping - we need more milk anyway.

Just had a 2 hour fun clarinet playing session with jan2.

Spending an hour and a half on my Bach fugue. It's getting there!

Well done Cambridge!! My dad would have been proud of you!

Yes - 'twas a good race - plenty of tension, everyone sitting on the edge of their chairs here.

Changing my profile picture

I like that

Me too

Having dinner

Totally Blitzing my lounge. Books and Dvds and cds off the shelves, furniture pulled out etc.... Found three mutes, three instruments, £17 in clubcard vouchers and a tenner!!!

Just back from the 3rd service of the day and having a few minutes with a cuppa and the forum to work up the energy to make the tea.

I'm very tired.

Scoffing down chocolate liqueurs with my sister. The Cointreau ones were my favourites.

Me three

You found three instruments?! Down the back of the sofa? And what were they - a double bass, a tuba and a harp?

Perhaps a Dulcimer, Flageolet and Spinet, if 'twere a DFS sofa!

Wayyy too close, drums, fife but then a coaching horn!!! Lol. The drums and coaching horn were behind the sofa and the fife at the back of the shelf!! Practising takes precidence over housework. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!! Lol

Eating chocolate, drinking tea and wine.

Eating FAR too much but also playing round-the-world ping-pong for over an hour

I was at my sister's place, being made to sit through a chick flick... which wasn't actually too bad, Emma Stone was in it so it was quite bearable..

Feeling sad that nobody bought me the Cadbury's buttons easter egg I was hoping for (hello.. husband!!!) and wishing I'd bought it for myself because they will all be sold out by now.

But pleased because I suppose it saves me eating extra calories


I bought everyone Cadbury bunnies... but there were none for me

Oh well.

(I know Easter is not all about chocolate.. but it helps)

You're clearly no princess then, if you don't even notice that you're sitting on a coaching horn!

Lol, it was behind the sofa not on it!! I think I may well have noticed otherwise Haha! :-)

which chick flick?

I was playing piano and listening to Whitesnake-yes, simulataneously!

I'm surprised you could hear the piano!

Advantages of having a digital piano plus, it was a good chance to work on dynamic control-e.g. fortissimoissimissmo (that's so not a word...)

Perhaps that's why Beethoven went deaf; after all he did have the hair for a head-banger!

Helping my friend build his new Yamaha digital grand piano And of course having a play

But of course

I've never tried one : are they good?

They are. You can't compare them with their acoustic grands but they certainly are better than the uprights, much more responsive and don't let you "get away" with anything like a lot of other digitals. Infact maybe that's a down side!!

Sounds good : I'll have to have a go on one one day.

(hmm...how many sentences have I ever written that have two 'ones' next to each other... )

I do believe you've solved a condundrum there, clavicembalo

Blowing my nose for the nth time and practising my aim with the snotty tissue and a waste-paper basket.

hope you're feeling better soon, Aeolienne
