It's welcome back to blogging for me today. My last blog was the 23rd of Dec...the day before I became ill. I still have phlegmy throat, which impedes on singing, but otherwise I only now feel about 100%. I've started jogging away the Christmas flab, and like Stephen points out in the blog below...have been doing some global-warming-winter clutter clearing.

There are flowers blooming down the street...is this a normal English winter-blooming bush?

Well since the 23rd of Dec. I've stopped volunteering at the YMCA, bought a MacBook laptop, a new printer, broke our coffee maker, bought a bodum, and am reading "Happenstance" by Carol Sheilds (whom I adore).

Soon I will buy the cable to link my laptop with my digital piano & be able to record myself, which hopefully, will give me the push into improving my skills. This is my plan anyway, to listen to, analyze, practice, correct, re-record, make better...to actually master some piano pieces that I have been playing for over 10 years in some cases. What if I actually tried to memorize them, to know these pieces more intimately?

I suppose this is my 2007 resolution...anyway...I hope you all are not still eating and drinking as much as you did over the holidays like we are...blurp!
