that I mean to be on here more. I just can't get this site to work adequately for me. Attachments to sets, everything has a bug. :\ If it's not loading slower than paint dries, I can't find anything. It's hard to follow replies now without that 'reply' button I ashamed to say, and I just generally want to move faster than the site allows me. Annnddd then I get distracted by something else. I miss people too I fear have been deterred from the site from similar issues...
I'm just about recovered from my cold, but wow this was a bad one. I had to go to pole class on Thursday night (or risk having to drop out of this term) because I'd already missed two lessons. It was torture. Who knew two weeks in bed reduced your physical strength to that of an invalid! I'm making a commitment to go on some intense exercise regimen for a good couple of months to get back up to speed. I can't stand the pathos of huffing and puffing at my pole whilst others are spinning around happily. It's somehow rather embarrassing.
I've very recently become more enamoured with classical music. I can't determine a cause for this and I find it curious! I've never found it quite as enjoyable as I do now -- this, despite having grown up with it and played instruments till I was 17. Oh, I tried to love classical, but I couldn't before. I think it largely has to do with my mother (yeeaaahh, we're keeping a firm lid on that can of worms). Suddenly, however, I feel myself energised and soothed by the piped notes of a clarinet and the energy of well-practiced bows on gut strings. (You're right. I'm not good enough to know the kind of string I'm listening to, but SHHH this is MY fantasy).
Isn't it strange how our tastes can change unexpectedly? I sorely miss having a piano -- a terrible hole in my heart that I've temporarily patched with other... 'interests'. I can't say I miss the other instruments I play because they're here! Difficult to find a moment to play though and even more to not annoy the neighbours. Well there's still a bit of time this Friday night. I might drag that guitar out...
Hmmmm.
Yes, pictures. One day they will be here again.... one day... surely...
