Although I wanted to idle around some more to see what other music they knew, I had to get on with cleaning the house.\u00a0 Ilka\u2019s coming tomorrow and I don\u2019t want the place looking like it\u2019s been lived in do I?<\/p>\n
Wet, grey miserable day all day.\u00a0 Heavy downpours.\u00a0 Cold, like April.\u00a0 One bit of blue turned up and I when I turned to look at it properly it disappeared.<\/p>\n
Stayed indoors because that was the driest option, and besides I had a kitchen unit to finish.\u00a0 Finished it at last.<\/p>\n
In an idle moment I worked-out that I\u2019d spent a total of about 250 euros on my kitchen. That\u2019s a result isn\u2019t it?\u00a0 Despite my previous moanings about the cost of the wood I\u2019ve managed to put together something I\u2019m actually quite proud of for much less than I had expected (and certainly a lot less than MFI).<\/p>\n
In another idle moment (you get idle moments round here) I noticed that the birds sitting on the telephone wires outside were making music.\u00a0 Not audible music, but written music!\u00a0 There are 5 wires on the pole and that makes a music stave of some kind.\u00a0 When the birds sit on different wires they make a different tune if you read the music.\u00a0 Now I\u2019m not sure what key they were in, but I could have sworn that the first few birds were sitting on doh-reh-me-doh.\u00a0 That\u2019s Frere Jacques <\/em>surely?\u00a0 Now that\u2019s impressive.<\/p>\n Although I wanted to idle around some more to see what other music they knew, I had to get on with cleaning the house.\u00a0 Ilka\u2019s coming tomorrow and I don\u2019t want the place looking like it\u2019s been lived in do I?<\/p>\n
