radfordred 5,567 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Almost a year on it’s obvious lockdowns, track & trace & masks do not work & with no long term evidence this vaccine even works or the effects on the body, protect the vulnerable & allow a controlled spread in healthy people or we will be in this position this time next year & the year after. Maybe a wake up call for future generations to control their own health & well being. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your son will certainly have a hard time amusing the 2 year old as well as supervising the 8 year old. We are fortunate because the 2 grandchildren we help with (9 and 11) just get on with their lessons and don’t need much help from us. I just ‘commute’ between their bedrooms, listening in to their lessons. It is a stipulation that an adult is present during the zoom call. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 3,004 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 DJ360, in answer to your question, my wife is 77. She is Asthmatic and suffers from something called Neutrophelia , which makes her immune system virtually non existent. She's had government letters advising her that she is classed as extremely high vulnerability. Hope this answers your question. Regards, Beekay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 287 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 DJ360 There was a Pharmacist on the news earlier in the week complaining he'd offered to do the jabs but had been told that unless he could process 1000 patients per week he wouldn't be considered, for the time being. Presumably the 975 (ish) jabs per batch within 5 days of opening it is the restriction. Given that there is a mandatory 15 minute waiting time after the jab anywhere doing them needs quite bit of safe waiting area. I suspect my practice, opposite the City Hospital, would have a high proportion of people who don't qualify, although they do have plenty of room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 3,004 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Well, took 'er indoors for her Covid jab. Must admit, it were like organised Piccadilly circus. I thought "she's a long while". Turns out she'd had the jab and was sitting the mandatory 15 minutes, while I were stood out-bloody side in -0.4% cold. Bloody Covid !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 4,418 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I've just done a silly thing. For my amusement during lockdown I've ordered an electronic keyboard. I was looking at baby grands but it would be difficult getting one into the car when I start to play at gigs. I can't play the piano yet but I reckon a couple of weeks practice should be OK. I always buy myself a birthday present! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 3,004 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Are you going to get a pair of candelabra and Lurex jacket? And don't forget the Bling on each finger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,418 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Candelabras we have in stock. I'm not going to rise to the bait about Lurex! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 3,004 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I said Lurex, not Durex !! They'd make it difficult to tickle the ivories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 8,618 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 When you make it to the Royal Concert Hall, you're going to need Beekay. He used to be a conductor! Young Trogg has a lot of experience of playing second fiddle (according to young Trogg) and it won't be hard to find someone who likes blowing their own trumpet. You're all set. Please welcome Mr Mayfield who will give us his rendition of Grieg's Piano Concerto. All the right notes...but not necessarily in the right order. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,418 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 You won't be taking the Mickey when I'm on Britain's Got Tallent. I'm more into modern jazz where I can extemporise. I am seeking a drummer though. It's a Casio WK 7600 which has all the bells and whistles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 8,784 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Is this the right time to wish you a Happy Birthday Phil? I must admit I’ve thought about getting a piano (or keyboard because we haven’t got room for a proper piano) We had a lovely upright piano years ago when our boys had a short-lived fancy for learning to play, but we gave it away to Wild Willy Barrett when we moved house. Our son has recently bought his 7 year old a keyboard and so far so good, she’s doing ok on it and long may it continue, it’s such a fantastic talent to have ....... where’s Pianoman btw?

philmayfield 4,418 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 It's not for a few days but I happily accept your good wishes. As soon as the weather's warmer I'll be working outside again but I need a project for the next few weeks. It was going to be a model railway - we shall see! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
