sore fingers!
i am well on the way to killing my poor fingertips. i've just spent two hours or so torturing them into submission. two of them have actually gone black, though marion and i agreed it was too early for them to have rotted... it must be from the strings or something.
have decided to torture david :-D he's been complaining about me always playing 'you win again' by the beegees on the piano, but the problem is that there is only the 'hits of the 80s' book and queen greatest hits (he doesn't complain when i play them). so i've now tought myself to play you win again' on the guitar. so far i've been doing it without the amp (marion and i were watching the wedding planner), but once i've got it down, i'll do it nice and loud. david is not pleased... :-D
spent the weekend in cardiff at nanny and bampy's. was good. nanny talked a lot, but i think it could have been worse... she seems to be doing quite well mostly. just had a partial knee replacement. she's not pleased at the thought of having some metal thingy inside her...
tom (g) gave me some tips for the guitar. i want to learn to play 'sweet child o mine' :-D maybe in ten years or so... that is such a great piece of guitar music!
marion finally had a go on my guitar. was scary: she just sat down and played 'crazy little thing called love', the top gun theme and some others from memory. she hasn't played for ten years or so!!! and it sounded really (REALLY) good. cool, it means my guitar really can sound wonderful, i just need to learn to play :-)
typing is rather painful at the moment... david keeps calling me a wuss, but i'd like to see him practise for two hours with his fingers feeling like this!
oh yeah, marion ran in the cardiff [half] marathon today. mad, completely mad... she was really hoping to do it in under two hours and she made it in 1 hour 57... not bad!! but now i'll have to go running with her, like i said, cause she's not training for anything anymore... oh dear, what have i got myself into. if i don't post anymore, it's probably because i've collapsed after running a hundred yards... or maybe because my fingertips have run off and i just can't type anymore
