Mostly about reptiles and piano playing...

Romanze (08/03/2020)
Beethoven this time. From Sonatina in G. A bit tricky in places, but I think I just about got it.

Another Bach, although this one is actually thought to be by one of his sons.

New Additions (06/10/2019).
I forgot to announce Sia and Resheph on the home page at the time although I did add them to the gallery, sorry.
Seshat and Heh are the latest, and last, in this year's season. (I'm not sure how Seshat will fare, to be honest, she came from a very small egg and is tiny.)

Menuet in D Minor (attributed to) Bach (06/07/2019)
A really beautiful piece of music. That left hand had to work hard on its own melody!

A Bit Extra (04/07/2019)
I took webcam footage of Sah's hatching. It's not great as it was filmed through the container's proper lid, but I have edited it down from an hour to about 7 minutes.
It's here - Hatching video

Hatched this morning - Sah
I didn't think this one would hatch when yesterday the egg became dented. I panicked, thinking the embryo had died, but took anti-dehydration measures just in case - this was probably completely unnecessary, but did no harm (better safe than sorry).

Gypsy Dance in D Minor by Haydn (18/05/2019)
A short piece but with a challenging last two bars for someone who doesn't have long fingers.
BIG NEWS! 09/05/2019
My first (ok, Atum and Ammit's first) hatchling!
Mozart's Andante in E Flat (27/04/2019)
Only the third piece I've learnt since taking the piano back up.

Website update summary:
Recently added: new hobby - return to playing the piano. Gradually, building up a repertoire of sorts. I'm not very good - after 40 years it's all a bit rusty and forgotten - but I'm sure it'll get better. (Might take a while.)
Gone: old hobby - knitting - it was just too much for my elbow, so there's unlikely to be much more of that. Sorry. I've left the gallery there for the time being, though.
Still remaining upon these pages are some past scribblings, including:
Craft Blog - A bit of craftiness (last updated 20/02/2016)
And I've left the Physics Page from teacher-y days
