(no subject)

My recorders arrived today.

YAY. Descant, tenor and treble :)

( Reasons to play recorder 1,2,3 & 4 )

So yeah, it may be a sucky school instrument with virtually zero kudos, but if I can make nice noises - who the fuck cares?  Once they have finished filming a Hovis advert in the street outside (no, really they are, there are people in period costume marching up and down the street, we get a couple of film crews a year) I'm going into town to try and find some appropriate music to get back into this.

And a vacuum cleaner and some step ladders. But that's not connected.

Heh- 2 days ago I was miserable as sin. Today I'm full of motivation to tidy stuff up and learn to play again.  My head- it worries me sometimes.

Ungh......

Funny how motivation wears off after trailing round town (largely fruitlessly) in this humidity.

No music to be had. Well, that's to say, if I wanted grading peices, movie themes or school recorder books I'd have been fine. But as I don't, the walk from one end of town to t'other and back was distinctly frustrating. I don't think I'll learn well playing "frere jaques", being the 'learn by doing something I want to'  person. I shall have to be buying from the internet.

Well, actually, probably not, having now expended my spare money on a vacuum cleaner.  I was originally going to buy a cheaper vacuum cleaner and a step ladder, as 50 quid seemed a fair price for both objects- enabling me to begin the Grand Tidying Plan. As it is, I now have a 50 quid vacuum cleaner (which I'm sure is very effective), but very little to vacuum with it because I can't complete step one.
