I'm glad to hear you are clear, Jerry. Look after yourself. I saw my troubles as a wake up call and tend to be more willing to go to the Doc these days.

Spent the morning playing my Contrabass Recorder at the North East Recorder Orchestra's monthly meeting in Newcastle. Played some interesting music. A mixture of material composed specifically for a large recorder group and arrangements of pieces from various eras. We are due to give a concert in Morpeth in May, so we are starting to practice the pieces for that.

I shall be going to the White Hart at Mickleby this evening. I've been to Kirby Fleetham but before they had to move when the pub shut. It's a good club, but I prefer a singaround. You can't be all that far from me Deirdre. I live at Marton, just on the southern Edge of Middlesbrough.
