You've got to pity the neighbours

The Opera North orchestra performs a social distance version of Thus Spake Zarathustra, in concet dress, naturally. Imagine being the people who live next door to the timpani. It's also quite fun to spot the Ikea furniture.

In local news, I am in some dire need of new piano music, so any suggestions welcome (about grade 5 ABRSM, not too hard. What I'd really like would be 'songs from the shows' that sit between the too easy and the too difficult).


I am also starting to feel much better once again, with fever symptoms having vanished, though I could do without the morning congestion that inevitably kicks in when I have something vaguely respiratory for a while. The Guardian has what seems a good article on how to look after yourself. I really wish that the NHS website had more on this, particularly on the need for rest. I spend so much time with colds etc. that I don't rest solidly through them, and it would have been handy to know from day 1, which was several days before I stopped work, that you need to down tools early. But that would be against the national spirit. But really I continue to have got off lightly.

Now for my regularly scheduled post-lunch sitting in the garden. It is so sunny that I have even put on a hat.

Glad to hear you're on the mend! And yeah, some musical instruments are easier on the neighbours than others...

I have grade 5 singing books, and the piano parts are mostly around the same level to my eye, but no sensible way of lending any of it to you. :(
