    Can you use a Performing Arts library Pyxis and borrow the music? It may be cheaper going forward.

    Never knew there was such a thing!

    Will look into it.

    The problem with just borrowing stuff is the copyright.

    Some of the music I want will be used for performing.

    Copyright is soooooo complicated. :(

    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Most likely - it amazes me how often children do follow into their parents footsteps as far as a career goes.

    OH has same profession as his father, but totally different field within that.

    DS2 now has been offered the opportunity to do a similar qualification through his job, but that is pure coincidence.

    DS2-GF was heading for exactly what her mother does.

    If I may include my dad, a university lecturer, in the category of "teachers" then I'm 4th generation teacher.

    1st gen: my GGM (dad's paternal GM) - not quite sure what sort of teaching she did, so must ask my dad
    2nd gen: both my dad's parents, and his paternal uncle - all school teachers
    3rd gen: my dad - university lecturer
    4th gen: me and my cousin - both school teachers
    5th gen: my nephew (not 5 direct generations since my brother isn't a teacher, although his wife used to be one, so my nephew has teaching in his gene pool on both sides) - just about to come home from a few years teaching English in Prague, and probably going to try his hand at teaching drums next
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Between ISPs at home, am thinking this is not a very safe way to switch if the new supplier fails to install tomorrow as promised. Currently at the stage of 'no one has ever died or hay fever...but perhaps it would be preferable'.
    I think....

    Oh dear michaels :eek: What are you taking for it? I take Cetirizine every day anyway for chronic urticaria, but atm I'm also using Fluticasone spray, 2 sprays in each nostril twice a day. For a while last year I ended up using the spray and also taking loratidine, but thankfully I only needed to do that for a couple of weeks.

    We've just spent a couple of days in the Lincoln area and it definitely got worse while we were there, probably due to the birch trees which abounded alongside the road between our hotel and the city centre.

    If it helps, you will grow out of it.

    Try Benadryl for a quick acting remedy. Once you find something that works keep at it, it's easier to keep the symptoms under control then wait for it to get back.
    Vaseline around your nostrils may help.
