Stop smoking cigarettes
Untitled 3 years ago

The first couple of weeks were difficult, and then when drinking / after a good meal with coffee / when I was stressed but even those have passed now, after 2 years.

Definitely worth it. Plus your chances of succeeding increase with every quit attempt – you learn from your mistakes and know what you’ll need to prepare next time.

Patches are great – I didn’t use them, but I had a nagging boyfriend with a nose like a hawk instead!

Good luck to everyone trying this worthwhile goal. You’ll feel so much better about yourself once you’ve done it.



learn to play the recorder (read all 2 entries…)
Update 3 years ago

Now I have a music stand (given by my lovely boyfriend to me for winterval) I’ve been practising almost daily. Really enjoying it. Lots of fun.

I also found a great web resource called “Dolmesch” which has free lessons on it. That plus other cool recorder links are on my delicious page:

learn to play the recorder (read all 2 entries…)
Humble beginnings 3 years ago

My 80 year old father once said to me “If I’d practised my flute 20 minutes a day for my whole life I’d be very competent now” and this rings true.

I’m not musically gifted but I’ve really enjoyed starting to play.

I chose the recorder because its small, light weight and cheap – therefore good for my impoverished, itinerent lifestyle. Also its easy to learn, but adaptable. Tried the penny / tin whistle but although the sound is nice, its impossible to play quietly as you have to blow harder to get higher notes.
