Vulgar Noises

I'VE VERY LITTLE TIME to post to I'll make this brief: more stew (neck of lamb), Enid's gone to the Turkish lady in the corner shop who wants to learn more English. And glancing upon my burgeoning cupboard this evening I caught sight of something I found in a local alleyway many months ago but lacked the requisite electrical adaptor ... checked the back of this thing and the front of my tiny-TV adaptor and -- presto! -- the wonders of synthesized music boom out for my entire building to hear! I've so far inflicted Ave Maria (from the stored songs catalogue) at top blast 180 bpms, Jingle Bells and Silent Night. Other classics coming soon to divest Laundretta and Matran of their undeserved sleepy mellow afternoons!

Back tomorrow

PS In response to Bag's remark: the Blyton book I found and it just grabbed me ... the music didn't come from a cd player or radio it was the preset tunes in a Casio synthesizer!

    Evil Spock is glad that we're not neighbors.

    Strange choice of music and reading material.

    I've not read Enid Blyton for a long long time. Her Five series was the first set I collected.

    I only found this book by chance ... I've had such ill-luck concentrating on anything yet that somehow grabbed me ...

    the music wasn't coming from a radio/cd player that was a synthesizer with pre-set tunes!

    Hello, Gledwood. It's me from Sicily! This looks like a great blog and I like your honesty in your profile. I'll be back tomorrow. Meanwhile, I think your music choices are classy.

    hi Gled...haven't been around much. It's been so beautiful out so I've been out and about after work. I see I've got a lot of catching up to do here.

    Those electronic keyboards can be a lot of fun. Funny, I scared away someone with my headphones of all things...I posted about it.

    Have a good day my friend, going to get caught up on what you've been doing.

    The only thing possibly worse than a synthesizer is a banjo.
