MJ's little flock

It is cooler. That's definitely part of the explanation.

But the hens have turned a corner with respect to me lately. I'm allowed to touch them a little bit now. Every night there's Peggy's ride on the escalator and I give Ivy a gentle pat, sometimes lightly brushing Mary's tail feathers at the same time. And Janet likes to follow me around.

I guess they think you're alright these days. No higher compliment.

I've called a few but it's one of those things which is quite low down on the list. Given all the projects on offer in the house, the piano might get done within a decade but I won't stress out if it takes longer.

You did not say if you play or not. That's the mystery now.

Aurora is on it!

I used to have my grandmother’s 100 year-old piano, which was ornate like that one. It had a crack in the pin-board which meant it couldn’t be tuned to concert pitch, but it could be tuned within itself. So it was a semitone (half-step) off concert pitch, which really messed with my perfect pitch.

I am not surprised that you have perfect pitch. What an amazing gift.

No. But I'm not afraid to try and assault everyone's eardrums with three blind mice and chopsticks

It’s not so perfect these days, I have to keep recalibrating it. I haven’t really played any piano in the last two years. I did record myself playing after I sat my Certificate of Performance; I could upload the pieces to YouTube if anyone is interested .

@MaryJanet I wonder if Janet has been "beakbooking" with Brenda?

I think Phyllis would like to sit upon the sofa. I know Mal liked it!
