Bad Apple Day(s)

  permalink

Monday, 5th March, 2012
Out of the four Cox apples I got on Thursday, two were bad! I had a leftover Gala for Saturday but that has left me apple-less for today and I don't do shopping on a Sunday.
Woah is me

It was pancake day today and for the first time in many years I actually made some pancakes.

Of course I had the traditional topping of jam and milk (alas not pictured).

An audience at last

  permalink

Monday, 13th February, 2012
Tonight was the second meeting of a potential bi-weekly Newbury ukulele workshop type thing. As all three members of montaSerra were there, we decided to do a couple of songs at the end. This monumental event is the first time we've ever played in front of an audience of more than one (there were six people there!). As this was such an historic event, I present the set list for future music historians:

1. Bare Necessities (Jungle Book)
2. Hollywood (Michael Buble)

There was no encore.

I've just updated the Quiz section with a totally re-vamped version with a better engine, a database back-end rather than good old xml and time based quizzes that are always open.

You can have a look here.

A Difficult Question

  permalink

Wednesday, 8th February, 2012
I was watching some telly tonight and this question came up on a popular prime time quiz show. The contestant got the question wrong but the act of me posting this means her answer is now correct. What do you do about such things?

I got all distracted with the Superbowl on Sunday and forgot to have an apple. OK, so its not the end of the world but it could be the start of the end of the world.

New Front Page and Blog

  permalink

Sunday, 29th January, 2012
Major tweakage to the front page and well as exposing this blog for the very first time. It's been around for many years but I've never provided a link to it but now it's been revamped I thought I might as well let it loose on the general public.

Throw-A-Dice Online!

  permalink

Monday, 23rd January, 2012
I got so sick of all the requests to create an on-line version of "Throw-A-Dice" that I created an on-line version of "Throw-A-Dice". How's that for meeting my customer requirements / caving in.

Regeneration

  permalink

Wednesday, 18th January, 2012
For some reason I decided it would be a good idea to tab out all the songs from Neil Hannon's Regeneration and arrange them for the ukulele. The idea being that the whole album could then be "performed" front to back for my own amusement and that of my friends. As this is one of the less popular Divine Comedy albums amongst fans and the ukulele still has limited appeal, I'm convinced the crossover will appeal to an enormous amount of people.

You could have a look in the Guitar Tabs section but I keep that as restricted access. Sorry for holding out my hands full of sweeties and then snatching back before you had a chance to choose.

Of Course It Was Going To Happen

  permalink

Tuesday, 29th November, 2011
So we've hit the 200 song count in the ukulele books. It was bound to happen. We now need to decide if we will stick with two books and start trimming out old songs or go to three books.

The joys of having too much choice!

MSI Redundancy

Friday, 22nd July, 2011
A long, long time ago, Dan made this redundancy cheque for me when the threat of axe falling was imminent. A serious situation but a quality piece of work.
