Hello Jerry,

Don't worry about the typo. We all do it.

I didn't watch Obama's inauguration - I was out at the time and anyway, he is your president, not ours. However, his election has generally been received very positively over here. He looks to be getting off to a good start. Long may it continue. I feel his heart is in the right place. He will make mistakes; we all do, but as long as he doesn't lose sight of his principles I feel he will be fine.

Not much doing here just now. Our recorder group have just started rehearsing for a concert we are giving in April. We are also hosting the Society of Recorder Players Annual festival in April this year. That is a national event, so we are going to be busy over the next few months.

I filled in my tax return yesterday - it had to be done by the end of the month. I was somewhat underpaid. Not by too much but money I would rather not have had to lay out.

Well having had an excellent cup of cybercoffee, I think I will sign out and go and have a cup of the real stuff.

Geoff
