Played the flute for the first time in 4 years

A bit on the ick side, but all things considered, quite an acceptable session. Tone quality still seems OK, but I have trouble with low and very high notes. Low range used to be my best. Middle range doing well. By the end of 15 minutes though (some scales and arpeggios, a few of the easier Kohler studies) my double-jointed little finger got stuck. Need to work on breath control too. Wish I had my Louis Moyse books with me, but I suspect they’re buried in the storage place in Sydney. Might see if Ealing Library can help…

Feels good to be playing again though. Feeling a glimmer of real-musician-ship there.

Played around with Automator

Set up automated workflows for connecting to the music server on login (don’t know why it won’t make an alias to a Samba connection) and for resizing an image, then setting it as the desktop image – maybe this way I’ll update my desktop a little more often if I don’t have to bother opening Photoshop!
