Welu:
Hope it goes well.

Welu:
I have injured my dominant hand. I was lifting something heavy, lost my grip and it bent my ring finger backwards. No major or lasting damage thankfully but I was in A&E for just under two hours and they told me to keep it taped and iced fit a few days. So a very efficient hospital visit at least and it'll hopefully be mostly better before my flight Tuesday morning.

Welu:
Flying home today. It's been a great week. Never thought I'd be able to go to Wrestlemania, never mind four and getting to visit New Orleans twice. My brother came for this one and that added a lot to the excitement.

Is it cold in here?:

A sad story, for me.

Some of you will recall that my son Nic is a concert pianist of considerable repute.  His talent became apparent with the remarkable development of his playing from start to the highest level of school exam (what we call "Grade 8" in the UK) in barely five years in his first boarding school.  His piano teacher for most of that time was obviously a major aid to this development.  However, only a couple of years later he was jailed briefly for inappropriate behaviour with minors; we, and Nic, had never seen any evidence of this, and provided character reference documents at his trial. 

We met him a few times over the next couple of decades, not least for birthday meals (his birthday is the same as Nic's); and on one occasion early in Nic's professional career he and Nic played the piano and harmonium together in a London performance of Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle, of which I have a recording.

But now, after all this time, this:

We feel sadly let down; but his contribution to Nic's musical development remains as genuine now as it has always been.
