A third drum kit …? All of a sudden, tidily stackable WW2 helmets seem quite space saving by comparison…. 🤔😉

Or even not tidily stackable melodeons (4 I think) spread across rooms.5

😂😂 I think you're thinking of harmoniums, @Viking_mfw - we only had 2, and we got rid of one last winter 😂😂 but there are somewhere around 35 guitar-type things of various sorts, and a double bass, and yes, now 3 drum kits, although not all up at the same time.
So @KajiKita I will hear NO complaining about neatly stackable piles of military helmets 😂😂
(Fortunately we do have an allocated music room, although obviously not everything fits in there 😂)
No parking permit today.l, but I do have a nice free parking spot about 20 mins walk away, and it's not raining, so I'm counting that as a win!12 -

Nipped in to see a friend who's been quite ill on the way home, so got to get back on for a couple of hours now, then a restful evening I think.7 -
