Been learning formally for about a year now, and feeling more confident. Recently started a band with friends, so I should improve even faster now.
Also now trying to get the orthodox grip as good as my matched.

Not a big public library, obviously. Just a room (or two) with lots of books, a couple of comfey armchairs, and maybe a nice old desk. With books on everything under the sun, preferably in nice hardback editions.
A place where I can go and work, or relax. Where I can sit with my wife and talk together. Where I can introduce my children and grandchildren to a world vaster than they could ever have time to experience. And then encourage them to go out and try anyway.
Working on it (around 650 books in my room so far) but hampered by the fact that I have no house and I am still in full time education.
Also troubled by how many books I should take with me to university when I start next year. I want them all!
Who doesn’t…ideas so far:
Teacher
Professor
Researcher
Writer
Life-long student
Penniless traveller
At the British Library
Others…can’t think of right now.
