Oh has just returned from Unst, where he spent a weekend with, among others, Ruthodanort, doing a training weekend for cliff rescue coastguard work, pleased to say that everyone passed & it sounds like much fun was had by all. (I heard from OH that Ruth is going to post a picture of them all).
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, me & the kids did a lot of baking to amuse ourselves, the biscuit tins are now full of cookies & shortcakes, we watched some DVD's which I had stashed by for a rainy day, ate popcorn & got really bored of how quiet the house is over the weekends.
I have to take the fiddle up to a neighbour this week & she's going to show me how to tune, hold fiddle & bow & get me going on it. I have a starter book which, it states, is for ages 4 and upwards.... If a 4yr old can begin to master the fiddle, then surely an almost 40yr old can ! I refuse to let the 4yr olds of this world beat me in this !

Learning to play the violin may not be unlike learning a first language: the younger you are, the better. For one thing, a 40 year old is bound to try too bl**dy hard!! # Anyway, good luck!! If you want to fiddle while the dough rises, or the bread bakes: why on earth not?!

Quite right FIiS. Strike a blow for the not-quite-middle-aged-just-yet!

Nor should the 4 year olds have all of the fun. Remember it supposed to be fun... Have a good time.
