Quite reasonable. Stays in tune, makes a reasonable noise (when I get the technique right!
). No idea what make it is. I'm very surprised that the grooves in my left hand fingers aren't all that bad!... I hope to certainly play some 'cello at southern forum events at least...

Palish brown colour body, dark brown pegs. Slight bash mark at the back, but nothing too bad. No stickers on the fingerboard, thank goodness...
Re. my post above, I think if I were to play 'cello in a northern event, I'd have to go to a 'cello as opposed to taking a 'cello with me. Cellos, luggage and trains don't go together well...

Excuses, excuses.
False Harmonic travelled to the Leeds concert with her cello. 
You'd probably want your own cello for a concert because there's sometimes enough variation in size and shape (even within full size instruments) for a strange cello to need your fingers in slightly different places - although this gets easier to adjust to as you get more experienced.
It can be a bit like going from a closed hole flute to an in-line open hole one.

It can be a bit like going from a closed hole flute to an in-line open hole one. I'm hoping that won't be too much of an issue. I'm using iona's spare 'cello in lessons, and haven't noticed a lot of difference between that and the school 'cello...
I'm starting to want a cello now, even though I prefer the violin. 
Alto flute is first on the shopping list when I get a job though.
I really do need to go and get some work done. Bye.

I'll let you have a go at the 'cello if our paths cross and I'm in possession of a 'cello at the time... QUOTE

Just after 12:30pm here. Time to have a jacket potato. *thinks* Cook it properly, or use the microwave...

Thanks for the info about the events barry-clari. I'll definitely convince myself to come along, I had a prospective pupil who asked me to demonstrate, in my defence I was very tired and looked as if someone had recently hit me in the face with a wet kipper. I played like Les Dawson at the first attempt, second attempt was fortunately better!

I played like Les Dawson at the first attempt, second attempt was fortunately better!
No problem Jane
You'll find the atmosphere is very supportive : hope to see you at an event in the future

Giant bee/wasp monster that was buzzing mysteriously all over the place before anyone worked out what/where it was.

Spiders are fine, although I did extract a huge one from the house last week. While they don't bother me, I won't handle them if they are very big in case they bite (I know very few British species are able to pierce the skin, but I'd rather not take any chances).
I always wanted a pet Tarantula actually
Snakes, lizards and amphibians are ace. Frogs are awesome

And is it "Grim up North"? (I'm guessing at least the weather is, although it's the same here).

I am really really petrified of spiders, which can be a nightmare living in the country surrounded by fields, you get some real Aragogs!!! Snakes are fine, a few harmless grass snakes around here too.
Strangely enough I'm fine with tarantulas, they move slower than household spiders, you never know where they've gone

A friend of mine used to keep snakes (rat snakes and corn snakes IIRC). They were really great pets.

They are beautiful creatures
Some species are extremely aggressive, though.As for where the spiders go... you eat them in your sleep... You know when you wake up coughing?
I'm probably in trouble now for giving people nightmares...
I left the piano at home but brought everything else (8 recorders, a violin and a viola) with me. Having seen my room, I don't think I could have fitted the piano in anyway and I don't think I'd have been very popular with whoever ended up carrying it through the narrow corridors and up stairs.
Today was pretty grim weatherwise, which was annoying because I had nothing I was supposed to be doing so would have pottered round town otherwise.

I can't quite remember, but don't you have one of those stage-pianos? Surely that would have fitted in somewhere and wouldn't have been *that* hard to move as it's hardly as heavy as a full blown clav?
I take it there are plenty of pianos around that you can have a play on up there anyhow?
Durham - another one of countless places I've passed through and never stopped in! Let me know if I've missed much!

I dunno, it's pretty heavy - it took me and my dad considerable effort to get it up into my room at home and our stairs are pretty average. The ones here were narrow, pretty steep and turned a corner. I'm not sure what pianos there are around. There was one in the practise room I was in this morning and there's a grand in the hall, although I doubt you're allowed to play that one.
Durham seems much the same as Cambridge really, except that, while Cambridge is mainly horizontal ground, Durham is pretty much vertical. (I came back from my potter yesterday with aching legs.
Admittedly, I did get a bit lost and ended up somewhere on the outskirts of the town then had to walk back a long way round. )

I'm sure a few enquiries will get you some play time! I don't see why they would have reservations about you playing the grand if the hall isn't in use, seeing as you are "qualified" to use it!

Lol, hadn't thought about that.
I have somehow managed to get halfway through freshers week without consuming any alcohol or junk and what with being fed 3 proper meals a day, it's turned into a bit of a detox really.
I'm not sure that's supposed to happen lol. The bright side of it though is that it's meant I've spent barely any money (a grand total of £1.50 on some safety pins
), so am on the way to being able to afford to have a day-trip back to Cambridge some time in November.

Just do whatever you're comfortable with! I don't know how people eat 3 big meals a day...
I might have toast for breakfast infrequently, then I usually eat at about 1pm and that's me done for the day with the odd exception...

Although it would be nice if half the corridors didn't stink of sick. 
The only think I have problems with is dancing, which I hate and cannot/will not do, so that basically rules out most things that are going on at the moment.
I fell in love with Durham when I was up there for an OU summer school. yep you're right, gorgeous grand piano in the hall, plus also some others in the practice rooms dotted around. sure there will be plenty of opportunities to play

I usually skip one of breakfast and lunch then don't eat much for the other, so 3 big meals a day is a bit much really and I feel constantly full. They're all at stupid times too - 6 is about 2 hours too early for dinner!!!
