Surely somewhere on the web there must be a set of instructions for making a tortoise into a theorbo?  |

I did ask for a tortoise, not a turtle Ahem, the image did of course come from a Google Image search with the solitary term Tortoise, so, well, anyway. I do believe Gardiner's old Erato recording of BWV 4 also uses multiple voices throughout, including in the bass movement. Plus ça change. Here's a nice picture anyway. It's not a plastic crumhorn but a bass chalumeau. Although Mr Tutz has stuck some plastic on it.  |

The mouthpiece of that bass chalumeau really actually does stick out like a sore thumb.

What a splendid thread.
I had quite a sore throat yesterday but being on holiday had the chance to sun myself in the garden and feel much better today. Such an improvement would be unthinkable in the dark and dank month of January.

Alison - know what you mean. You started the 'Disc before Bedtime' thread - one of the features that got me hooked on the old boards, and no these. Respect.  |

It simply means they're 'stuck' at the top, because they're popular and many people want to access them regularly. Cool, huh?

Oh well perhaps the shampoo thread will ultimately share that distinction ?
Based on posts or views I wonder ?

Yes, thank you, the sore throat curiously lasted one day only.
It hasnt been a particularly good quarter with at least two full scale colds.
Maybe antibody levels are up, warding off the latest throat threat.
Please do contribute to the shampoo thread my noble lord.

Having felt juddery for the best part of a week, which i reckon is pre-burnout after a year of steaming on through pratfalls, chicanery, normal-for-london etc, this evening I went for a hot stone massage at a spa. The hoorays braying on the tube served to dent my nirvana afterwards, but the way this treatment redirects chi through chakras and the ancient provenance of the thing as a ritual is powerfully good. I don't feel immediately great but looser which is a great result.Best 50 quid I've spent in quite awhile. |

I have been out tonight gadding with my friends, eating, drinking and generally being merry. However my enjoyment has been tempered somewhat by the fact that whilst getting ready for the outing, I somehow managed to stab myself in the eyeball with my mascara wand. It doesn't look wonderful, there being a tiny hole and a small sac of fluid which has suddenly appeared over it - but not wishing to go and spend the next 6 hours in A and E with all the smackheads, I'm going to wait till the morning and visit an optician for advice. Ah well, into each life a little rain must fall.....  |
