Why isn't there a smiley that's a frowny which winks?
Can you wink whilst frowning? For most folk there's a conflict of muscular action which makes it all but impossible: (those who can do it just look shifty  ) |

Fraggers,
Glad to have you back. Hope the small dish is OK. Late night posting is a good solution.

Ha ha, nice one kittybriton!! Yeah, I know! Does anyone on these boards know how to actually do the old jungle drumming, apart from the usual jokes, ofcourse!
I'm not sure quite which part of Africa the gentleman in question originated from, but last year daughter's b/f took a High School music course which included a masterclass on Djembe drumming. I went along to the concert with daughter as the family representative and was really very impressed by the standards of the student ensemble after such a short course. And the gentleman who taught them put on a superb show, his enthusiasm was infectious, inviting the audience to get up and dance (and some did). |

Guess the cold turkey worked then? Thanks, but no; I'm still an addict. Admitting it was the first step, though, in my self-inflicted twelve-step program; I did skip anger and guilt. OK, a little guilt. But one needs 12 steps otherwise it's faux. Perhaps gratuitously pleonastic verbosity of the tautologous kind will be one of my steps? |

I thought that was my schtick. |

I can't remember where it was that tinners was talking about his inability to do practical things around the house and I only have so much patience to look. So I'll post this here. I finally decided that I wasn't going to be bringing my toolbox up here in a hurry (it's just a bit too awkward to manage on the train) so bought a bargain pack of screwdrivers today. This means that I can finally do a number of little jobs that have been repeatedly screaming at me (for example, the handles on my saucepans wobble). I'm not a very practical person in many respects. I wouldn't trust me to undertake any refurbishments or redecorations, but as long as it's a reasonably short job I'm quite handy (or at least I think I am). Besides, you can never have too many screwdrivers - you should always have one in your pencil case in case you're called upon to prepare a piano!  |

I have some screwdrivers, hh, although it's never occurred to me to use them to stop the handles on my saucepans from wobbling! (And wobble they do indeed.) I don't have a pencil case, though.  This may be my last post. Pim is about to shoot me. It was nice knowing you all! |

Anyway, what am I supposed to be doing this evening? Washing up might help I suppose... But help who? Just seen that it's 11 again and I have to be up for a lecture at 9 (thankfully I'm not giving it, but I might be asked to 'chip in' - what do I know about Tristan und Isolde other than that up on which I mugged last night, or the fact that I adore the music?) so that means I should get a wriggle on and probably switch the computer off!  For World Music tomorrow, I'll teach something African - probably all from the same region... I'll have a listen to some recordings while I'm washing up.
