Hi All after enforced absence (net cafes being shifty and snooper-replete hereabouts).Congrats to Increp on 4 vols, looks like Folio Society job to me, and to Tinners besuited and the happy couple.. I look forward to catching up and pitching in betimes.
Nick Nacker Knock to the tropic of Dagenham yesterday, and the Iceland car park where met an excellent IT bloke, who sold me a recondition Dell laptop for 99 quid, after 45 mins of going through all he did to it and ensuring everything was compatible. It works a treat and am girding myself up to hook up some amazingly cheap Behringer studio gear to it this afternoon. Very very odd everything being a lot easier after several months of limbo (as taxing on a sunday morning as Nick Nacker Knock)
re:piano recitals, tennis and vocal effects I saw a button accordion in a rucksack in Edmuntun Innit yesterday, the owner taking an enormous cultural risk, (by representing culture) and which seemed small enough to introduce into mixed doubles. A combo of grunting and light wheezing with perhaps a Liszt Beethoven arangement. Could this work this as a telegenic tie-breaker in next years YMOY?

Someone who knows about these things It dooo beee the curse of not hearing enough music of the medium that I play. But I'd much rather be as I am. There are students (or so I hear) who have interest purely in piano music, and listen to nothing else. Bad. I'm happy because I've finished constructing transport plans for ma Welsh trip. |

De-grump. The thingies I was expecting from New York somehow turned up in the middle of the night. That's last week's work finished at last.  |

That has reminded me of a pianist friend at school who arranged his records under the headings: 'Piano Solo', 'Piano Duet', 'Piano Concertos', 'Miscellaneous Piano', 'Other'. |

We just had our school Sports Day this morning. It was cancelled last Friday. Not a great turn-out because it was such short notice with everyone being telephoned early this morning. Anyway, I'm happy because he won the Obstacle Race, came 2nd in the Flat Race and third in the Cross Country. Guess who came LAST in the Mother's Race?  Yup! Little Milleeeeee! (Well I was the only grandma and I got the biggest cheer of the morning! Smallest, oldest and running in my bare feet because I'd gone in heels.  ) |

10/10 for guts! I just felt I had to support him - nobody is there for him except me. He was cheering me on and he didn't mind that I came last. Some of those mothers are early 20s and fit -but many didn't even attempt to do it. It's all good fun.... |

there is no such thing as ridiculous dressing up.
 cotitsalv though don't have nightmares Ahem. Congrats to opi and to trj (it feels great when you hand the corrections in, but silly if they make you wear a scotch bonnet for graduation and it itches). And congrats to tinners and family. Looks like a lovely day. |

PS Yes, the date on the spines is correct - apparently!
It's rather an odd feeling preparing the final version only to see a date that far in the past on the spine. Mine says 'June 2007' on the spine (except it's a box file not a bound thesis - I was vaguely tempted to get it all bound into one volume but it seemed a little bit too Alban-loves-Arnold scary, and after all, the regulations prescribe a 'stiff board box'). |

I'm confused by this date business (must re-read my regulations booklet) - are these the dates that you submitted the original version then? (I was under the impression that at least one of you had submitted in 2008, but perhaps I'm wrong. It's been a busy year...) |

I certainly submitted mine in June. Opi's viva was in March, which suggests that he probably submitted in December (?). It's probably in the Happy Room archive somewhere... |
