I think double basses (bassi?) are lovely instruments. Very resonant.
I’m learning guitar but tenor sax is my main instrument. Capos both inspire and awe me. Transposing sax parts would be so much easier if I could just put a clip on it.
I don’t have perfect pitch. I can normally hazard a guess at a Bb because that’s the only note that my otherwise reasonable ear consistently fails at.

Capos did you say?

My memory of it was the gauges showed there was fuel in the tanks though they were empty.. I could be wrong though.

My memory of it is all from press reports which are never necessarily accurate so I cannot speculate further.

There's an unexpected benefit of partial retirement - no income tax.

I've just received my pay slip from work and the pension payment statement and neither show any deductions for PAYE, even though my remaining salary is above the tax threshold. Initial enquiries have been started with our pay service unit, but I fear a battle with my colleagues in HMRC to sort things out. Meanwhile the cash will be secured in my bank earning a meagure amount of interest.

How long can a Police helicopter stay aloft?

Asking for a friend ...

I didn't do it!

The current one, up to five hours, before it has to return to refuel.

Lovely supper of pasta with meatballs* in a tomato and basil sauce

* those YS aberdeen angus beef sausages cut into three, to make 24 meatballs. And damn good they were.

Thanks for that. I've found out why they were there; someone had a gun locally

I really do have nice near-neighbours. Anyone want to buy my house?

We bathed the dog this evening. It's a two person job with lots of flapping and water droplets everywhere. And that's just us, not the dog!!
