Well done for persisting. I am always amazed at how much you get through in a day.

I think Sure on this Shining Night is the best known of those, and one of those we are starting on (sight reading last week, more detail tonight).

Dividing the rhubarb and putting lots of compost / manure in the planting holes would be a good idea

I googled and it said November is the time to do that.

How dedicated. I'm surprised you have the energy and concentration at that time. Just as I got Monteverdi hammered into my head I've got to stop singing it over the kitchen sink and try to learn this and this and more. I can happily noodle variations on Go Down Moses - just not the ones Tippet wrote.

Lack of moisture is hardly a problem here!!! All our road edges are running streams. Not particularly dry last summer either.

My rhubarb is very spindly this year. Maybe it needs dividing, I'll have to google.

What is the law about wild plants.
Thinking back we used to make collections of wild flowers (for a badge at GLB, which was like Guides), now illegal to pick them, never mind uproot. Can see why, though we learnt a lot from identifying the specimens

Will you be bottle feeding?

I bought it because it had a keyboard so I thought it would be like the piano, which I learnt as a child. But the left hand needs the brain to think in 5ths (CGDA etc), and chords, which I don't find easy as I've never played guitar and my piano teacher was strictly classical, bass clef not chords f...

As there is no music to practise for choir until we start again after Easter I actually took my accordion out of its case and played for half an hour last night. Dangerous. I pulled a thread from my jumper and somehow got it very twisted round a little screwhead. Couldn't take off the accordion, tri...

2 weeks off then we'll get our music for the midsummer concert - various short works, not sure what.

Mine occasionally were found by rats. Then lately the little slugs made tunnels all over them, so they were like sponges. So I've given them up.

MY plums and pear are in flower. The damson might be about to flower too, but most of them have a bog surrounding them, don't know how long they'll live if we have more wet winters.
I'm picking some skinny sticks of rhubarb, though just a handful once a week.

I think it went OK, didn't get too lost. And the audience seemed to enjoy it.

Do they follow it up to see what happens after?
