A brand new vlog to start a brand new year and there’s a brand new bag thrown in for good measure. Not literally “thrown” because it’s a lovely bag and deserves a bit of respect (also the chain on it weighs a tonne and would probably make a dent in the floor as it landed) but you know what I mean.
If you’d like to see the new bag (Mr AMR chose well!) along with a cat, a dog, a child and an impromptu bit of piano practice then click on the play button. I’m trying to get back into my piano playing; I was really quite good when I was little (I did Grade 6 piano and Grade 8 clarinet) but haven’t done any proper, regimented sort of practice for about twenty years now. More. Good grief, that makes me feel decrepit.

Gosh! Me too! I’m 39 travel around Australia for work and haven’t touched the piano or clarinet for over 20 years I’m really depressed about it actually “adult life necessity takes over completely “ …. clarinet playing after having braces tightened!! Oh the pain! Now I can’t get a sound from a number 2 reed!!!!! When I hear a beautiful piece of music I used to head straight for the piano to attempt my own version… and now I just forlornly and stare at the keyboard when I’m home maybe twice a year. I’m going to prepare for AMusA AMEB ( Australian exams board) It’s on the bucket list
Loved this informal video so much! Mr AMR was totally right!!! x
I didn’t get much of a Christmas holiday – just two extra days off work – and can confirm that is very rubbish indeed. I would kill for two weeks off over Xmas but working in news it is very hard to get! You basically have all the Xmas business but with work as well. I even worked on Xmas Day! I am beyond tired. So I’ve booked a holiday in Goa in February….
My first video, new to your website/vlog – loved the informality, will watch some more. Also loved your nail colour – can you tell us what that is?
It’s a gel nail colour in-salon! Beige 124 I *think*? x
You are so accomplished. An all rounder. I want my child to be like you.
Mr. AMR is on the money…loved the video. Don’t let it go to his head though!
Fabulous video Ruth and Mr AMR is definitely on the money!!
I used to play the piano when I was little too, but I assure you: If I sat down now, it wouldn’t sound half as good as your impromptu practice.

Mr AMR was spot on. Just this once though . Lovely vid, can’t go wrong with a sprinkling of pets n kids either!
My husband does the same thing with films or programs that I like. I hate it!!
He was correct about this one at this time. We all are recovering from the stresses and busy-ness after the holidays and this chitchat was perfect. Glad you are practicing piano again and have great music to work on. Mr. AMR does a good job with gift selection. Happy New Year to you and your little family. How Angelica has grown!
Is there nothing you can’t do?
LOL. Dance. Tidy. Swim properly. I have a huge list of failings. x
Lovely xx. Show us the piano!
