Trying to play Gymnopedie no1...this time its the multiple ledger lines that's scaring me. Again it's a lovely piece that's worth having in any repertoire.

Wife crying again (probably because there's a Y in the day again) so to cheer myself up and stop myself from going down the same path I'm downloading some more Programme Music library tracks from the fileshares.

Thank you Nicki. The David Snell harp tracks are fantastic. It's not 'cerdd dant' neither is it Mary O'Hara!
Grade 3 before the end of 2012 is reachable for me...not least as I know of no better way to kick this deep depression right in its cobblers!

Failed - I dozed off at 5, phone started ringing at 5.45 and it took a number of rings for me to work out where I was, where the phone was etc. I've now put some goulash in the oven to cook so hopefully I won't fall asleep again (mind you, it'll take an hour or so, so there's always a chance....)

Cup of tea after a fit of wild enthusiasm means that one of the front lawns has had its first hair cut of the season (that's quite early for round here - when I lived in Cheshire (on very light soil) I used to start mid-Feb).
There's a large circular bed in the middle of the lawn (about 10 ft diam), which was tidied up in the autumn - but it's full of weeds

So I've been on hands and knees clearing them out and a trip to buy 240 litres of bark chippings which I've now put down as a mulch so hopefully the weeds will be somewhat more reluctant to appear....
That's enough enthusiasm until June!
Trouble is, I've got another two lawns and a border in the back that was not sorted out in the autumn....
(Problem here is it usually suddenly gets too wet to work the ground)
