Evening. I just thought I'd pop in to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope all is well. Hector began his working life this season and is doing remarkably well so far. I even had Wellington and Hector working together on a local shoot, which was fabulous. Take care....

I've upgraded the digital piano. It's another Roland, but it's an amazing piece of kit. After playing around with the settings, I've got it sounding and feeling almost the same as my teacher's grand. The tone is beautiful.

Night.......

Evening. I hope all is well. All good here, Wellington and Hector are fine. In other news, I've upgraded my piano and am looking to sell the Roland FP10. It's a great piece of kit and only 6 months old. A bargain at £200 (including a stand). Let me know if you're interested.

Hi All, sorry I've been gone for a while, and thank you for the various messages. All is fine, but I've decided to give Twitter a break. I might be back at some point, but for now, it's good night from Beau Cottage......

Night.......

Thank you. To my ears, there's lots wrong with it, but I am making progress.

It's not quite King's College, Cambridge, but I did my best. The Christmas Carol's music book is now put away until next year......

Night......

Modernity is overrated!

Downstairs as well. We can't afford a downstairs loo. 😕

You set your pony on fire?!?!?! I've always fancied smoking a pipe (like Jack Hargreaves). I even bought one but the throat cancer has been a bit of a deterrent.

Very posh!

Thank you both. Hopefully, the antibiotics will kick in soon. At the moment, my only efficient treatment is a couple of pints of Peroni.

Me and my serum C protein levels are off to bed. Night......

I got clawed by a live pheasant that Wellington retrieved. The sodding thing drew blood. TBF, the pheasant came off worse.

Me too. I'm fed up with this sodding cough.

Chest infection update. I sailed through the liver function test (we celebrated that in the pub) and the cholesterol levels are fine (pork scratchings were eaten) but the serum C protein levels seem a tad high. I'm now on antibiotics and been swabbed for Psittacosis.
