So I googled "Corgi playing harp" and didn't quite get that.... but I love the picture! This dog is not appreciating the music, but saying, "Stop playing, already! Time for walkies, time for supper, time for ME!"
Which leads me to my theme of 'too much going on'. That describes my life at present. Which is not a bad way for things to be, not in the least bit. But it makes focussing on one or even two things next to impossible, which in turn means I am not all that satisfied with anything I am doing. To make matters worse I seem to have been bitten by a knitting bug. Now I am knitting those harp wristlets - working out what patterns, type of wools etc. look and feel the best. While I knit I listen to audio books. AND since I have a book to edit, a harp to play, a concertina to squeeze, books to read, a dog to take for walks and all the other things I am obliged to do.... this is ridiculous!
Not complaining just stating the facts. I'm not even desperate enough to do anything about any of it, more bemused!
I did have a few folks over yesterday to play but mostly we chatted and I played horribly since I had barely practiced in a ten-day.
Sigh.
Amazing that you found a picture with both a corgi and a folk harp! Is he thinking "What have you done with Lucy and toss me a few carrots!"?
ReplyDeleteHave a little surgery - you'll be so bored you'll practice every day!
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, maybe it's just the season. Stay warm, knit, chat, listen to audiobooks ; don't you think you'll come around when the weather perks up? I am hoping so, although really, winter has only just begun here.....
When I have knit enough of these little wristlets/gauntlets/pulsewarmers (new term I just found) I'm going to post a pic here. I am THRILLED by how they are turning out.
ReplyDeletePost a pic! Pulsewarmers; haha sounds medical!
ReplyDeleteDo you play Luithreadan? I've not spelled that correctly but it's the Junior Crehan jig that Kathy's session plays after Sheep in the Boat.
Well I am relearning it in D (easy tune so not too difficult to do that) because people here play it in D (not G).
Yep - I do play that, usually with another Crehan after, oh something with Mountain in the title.... pathetic. I'll think of it and come back later. I'm having at terrible harping month so far. Don't know what my problem is. Well, yes I do. I'm kind of depressed. No reason, or a host of small reasons, none of them very important but they add up. (I include winter in this category of not very important, as it is just what it is).
