Part the Sixteenth

2 April, 2005
Posted in: The tale of Lazy Jack Silver

Our hero stood up gingerly.  No bones broken then, he knocked his head painfully against the low roof of the dimly lit hut where he was lying and stepped out the door into what appeared to be an Amazonian rain forest.  Friar Tuck looked up and smiled “you’re awake”. “Where am I?” said LJS curtly. “No need to be tetchy” said Friar Tuck, nettled. He smiled beatifically while surreptitiously scratching a scabrous limb “you’re in the Amazonian rain forest, Heather thought it would be best for you, you’ve been having a nice nap for, oh, about 3 months”. Friar Tuck laughed sinisterly, it was a new speciality and something he had been practising in the long wet afternoons. LJS gasped “But Pog and Bobble….” “They’ve been taken care of” said Friar Tuck and he gave his sinister laugh another outing. “Why have you taken me here, what is Heather’s dastardly plan?” “Now, now”  said Friar Tuck soothingly “is that any way to talk about one who is our  benefactress; sit down and let me explain”.

Now “been taken care of” sounds distinctly iffy.

“tetchy” is not in my dictionary, let alone my vocabulary. But I pick nits. At least I haven’t been taken care of.

HJB, in a good way? Bobble, yes, I would worry if I were you, but at least you don’t pick nits.

yes, in a very good way. I was out walking and decided to go home and write a piece and then you did it….the power of thought!

Where am I? What have you done to me? Why do I own a flowery top and a Ghost dress?
I think I’ve been brainwashed.

Well, you might be and then again, things could be taking a sinister turn…

Pushy parents

Posted in: Reading etc.

“I am trying to find classes for my violin-enthused 2-year-old. In other countries they start violin with the Suzuki method at 2 or 3 but I cannot find any such classes in Brussels.  The Brussels music schools start with “musical awakening” (read rhythm instruments) for young children but they have
next to nothing to offer in specific melody instruments and in the under 4s.  Also, English would be highly preferable to
French in our case.  Does anyone know a group, a class or a
private teacher who would be familiar with the Suzuki method or equivalent, who would welcome a 2-year-old and who would practice with violin/piano or other melody instrument and know English?”

From Readers’ questions and answers in the Brussels Childbirth Trust Magazine, April 2005. Good Lord, have these people no shame?

Heather, I’m hurt, how could you?

Yes, I’m sorry. Very sorry. It was rather shocking though.

Friar Tuck

Yes, absolutely no shame. A two year-old using a motorcycle for violin practice! What is she thinking.

Well I never doubted you for a moment, waffle ….. besides, the poor mite already has several chart-topping CDs out, I heard (Vanessa Mae eat your heart out).
Ahem.
