I played the highland pipes early in my army career and also Northumbrian small pipes. I can’t see any keys on the chanter in the photo so perhaps just the simple eight hole chanter. Additional keys on the chanter can be anywhere from four to seventeen, a bit like the keys on a clarinet. I managed a fifteen set, just. Always wanted to play the Uilleann pipes but never made it. Not Played for years and my fingers now couldn’t manage.This was him when getting on a bit.
And an extract from his obit.
Still, another fabulous piece.Why did no one tell me I had accidentally posted yesterday's painting today as well, and not a new one...
Right. I am not talking to you lot...
Here is today's painting...
Maybe I will forgive you...
Maybe...

Happy Birthday...I missed that, sorry @ianpspursAfternoon all from a somewhat cool for late June L.A. @dunelm I'm glad TGIB seems to have ended the day in so much better shape. Thanks you for sharing the art and enjoy helping your friend restock. @gennepher hug for the carnage wrought by the badgers and ongoing processor issues but thank you for sharing another superb creative. Today is the birthday of these people and your Breckland correspondent. Make the best of the hand you are dealt today and peace be with you all.
Sounds brilliant @Annb7.8 at 04.00 today but it started dropping and by 09.00 it was 5.9 - still is.
My desktop PC is now up and running. It's odd using a different key board but actually so much more comfortable for me to be able to feel and hear the click as the keys go down. Just the thing for an old fashioned secretary who was taught to type on a sit-up-and-beg typewriter that came out of the ark.

Right. I am not talking to you lot...

I'm off to my pit!
They kill birds and wildlife. slug pellets are deadly and have reduced Song Thrush numbers dramatically.Think I need some slug pellets. A couple of plants have become fodder for them. Must go and get some.
Have had a couple of hours in pleasant sunshine. Reading with our food in the oven, and trying to hideaway from Mrs L. As today her mind is not with us unfortunately.
It can be so hard sometimes to discover which thread, she is trying to talk about. All over the place.
Watching the footie, if I can.
