ALL the drivers on this morning's commute proving that it is possible to pass me safely ! Even on a notorious close pass blackspot !

Went to bed yesterday, got a phone call "can you cover a site asap till 6am". Went there, well ok that means no sleep and I work today too.
So it was a big surprise at 1.30 am to see another security officer turning up to take my shift and to let me to go home. Office people have done their best tonight.

I thought the video that PaulB posted was inspiring, and it reminded me to get stuck in on my guitar - I have 2 working hands and therefore 0 excuses not to play.

The best thing I have seen (so far) today was a rainbow. Not just any old rainbow though - it was the most local rainbow that I have ever seen! I was walking down a backstreet in Todmorden and looked up. I saw a rainbow coming down to ground between me and a hillside 300 metres away - literally just round the corner. I thought I might actually spot 'the crock of gold' so I ran to the end of the road but the rainbow faded away before I could get my phone out and take a picture of it. Still, it was an impressive sight!


I've always wanted to play an instrument so I've had a bash at several of them but this is my favourite...not my favourite song, it just sounded alright when I played it.

Ignorant people might suggest that you had been banished to the bathroom for musical performances, but I realise that actually you chose that room for its superior acoustics! :okay:

The 8-string ukulele sounds a lot nicer then 4-stringers.

PS I was just searching for info on ukuleles and found THIS uke forum - somewhere else for uke players to fritter away the hours on t'interweb? :whistle: (I found a PaulB on there, but he is American!)

Well spotted, Colin. I really like the acoustics in there and unlike other rooms, the sound from the uke doesn't drown out my voice. The benefit of the 8-stringer is that you don't have to decide if you're going for a high\low G, you can have both. You can do this on the C string as well so effectively it's a six-string mini guitar!

I will take my guitar into my bathroom next time that I am practising. It is a big room with a tiled floor and walls, so it has a very lively acoustic. (It might actually be too reverberant.)

PS I just took the guitar in there... It sounds fantastic! There is a door through to my bedroom and I strolled back and forth while playing and the contrast in acoustics was incredible. The bedroom acoustic is horribly dead and muffled because of the thick carpet, heavy curtains, and super-king-size duvet on the bed. The bathroom acoustic is sumptuous! There is also reduced traffic noise because it doesn't have a window facing onto the nearby road. If I ever record myself playing the guitar (or - heaven forbid - singing!), I will do it in the bathroom. I won't bother for guitar practice though because it isn't very comfortable sitting in there.
