Bolognese sauce is cooking for later. Pears are poaching in red wine in the oven.

Someone's coming oveer later who I think I'm going to have to teach some music theory to. Probably some general music making and then said Bolognese with some pasta and followed by the pears accompanied by vanilla marscapone cream - which I need to make...hastens to kitchen

practise or is it practice? smile.gif

In British English - it's "-ise" for the verb and "-ice" for the noun. There are legitimate cases where is could be "-ize" in lieu of "-ise" but not in this case. The easiest way to remember is with advise and advice where the two are pronounced differently, unlike practice/practise or license/licence which aren't.

Anyway, that was a sideline - off to physio shortly for my regular back twisting session. When I get back I'll have a look at the Gershwin before tomorrow's rehearsal. That's the one that needs C#, D and E the octave above middle C. I'll need a map to get there!
