rhythm

I just put on Making Movies to hear the guitar intro to Romeo and Juliet while I was in the kitchen. If you are feeling energetic the beat of Expresso Love is right for kneading bread, but be prepared to clean some flour up when you're done. I just had a look on yt for the song and found this version, but only suitable for beating eggs I think.

The week of the New Forest Show, and my time is a little strange, because I'm not at work very much. I thought I would have a good opportunity to do some serious reading and play some more mandolin, but I seem to be busy cooking and gardening. The mandolin practice is not quite enough to make progress this week, although I am working a little on my up and down picking, which helps with the speed a bit, but so far, not with the rhythm.

All the boys are done with school for the summer now. I think we need to find them some academic work to keep their minds ticking over, otherwise they will go back in the autumn with sponges for brains - and not in a good way.

Mark has just finished crooning, so I'll go and put on some more energetic music and see what it creates.
