    Thanks all, belatedly! The 'do' went well, everyone seemed to get on well with everyone else - never a bad thing. Highlight was about 8 of us trying to do paradiddles with hands and feet at once!  (A paradiddle is a drum exercise R = Right hand, L = left hand so. holding a steady rhythm it's L R L L R L R R.  Now try with the feet - go on, you know you want to! Now the tricky bit - do the feet at double the speed of hands - then the other way round! If you can do that, you deserve a drink!).

    6/30 and back on track!

  • Happy belated birthday marahouti, I also recently had a dry birthday (albeit it wasn’t a significant number or anything and no real reason or pressure on me to celebrate with drinks). 

    6/28 please cathybird, thank you.

    Oh joy. My brain says "Wakey wakey!". So you have to!

    7/30 so emojiday! Can't complain there.  Rehearsal with a band I'm standing in for at a birthday 'do' tonight so a little 'brushing up' on the set required today.
