On Guitar playing

Lesley has taken an interest in playing the guitar. Which is going to be rather complicated for her as she has long nails. For myself I used to play many many years ago but pretty much stopped when I went off to Waterlooooser to learn how to screw up computers. Its a shame really, I used to be pretty good on the guitar.

Today I tried to play the opening riff to Day Tripper and it took me about ten minutes just to remember how. Possibly more upsetting was the condition of the guitar, I really need to get it serviced, besides new strings the glue is starting to give on the bridge and I ought to get the frets sanded down a little, particularly the first fret, it is sticking out like a sore thumb.

In other news I bought a new vacuum cleaner! Exciting stuff! This vacuum is replacing the other three, or four? the cleaning lady broke. I want someone to explain to me how it is possible that in 30 or so months she has broken more vacuums than I have in 30 years? Oh that's right, I use a broom and dustpan. (Still on the set I bought when we moved in here three years ago.) For those of you who are wondering, I am an anal retentive tidy freak, so once a week I clean the house and to ensure that I have a life, once a week we have a cleaning lady do the dirty work.

Lesley has just declared that she loves Eric Clapton. Something tells me I shouldn't be jealous, but I want to know, whats wrong with those fine, well dressed, English lads from Liverpool?

Anyway I'm short for entertaining things to write about so I will stop here for now, but tomorrow expect a proof a Fermat's Last Theorem, I think I found a way to shrink Wile's proof down to a marginal note.
