endlessraritiesThe Powerpoint is done!!
Tomorrow, I'll write the paper. I've got a first draft, so all I need to do is write it in a rather less slovenly fashion, and Bob's your uncle!
Now, where's that novel? I need some r & r.
Oh, and the music of the moment turned out to be Dvorak Symphonies 7 & 8. Oddly enough, that's what I listened to in the lab when I did the initial analysis of the assemblage last year. It must have felt appropriate at the time.
And I'm now up to 45 minutes on the French Horn. Today, I wrestled with Saint Saen's Morceau de Concert. Funny how it felt much easier to play when I was a seventeen year old muppet. But I can still hit a high 'C'. Just! And it's as horrific an experience as it was in the good old days. Gah!!
