Campo Viejo Rioja lastnight. Was delicious. Paired with a duck breast stir fry type deal.

£6.50

I buy that all the time as well as Casillero del Diablo.

Brought a few things together yesterday after some false starts.

We punted our old piano a couple of weeks ago, replacing it with a Kawai KDP 110. Delighted with the new kit, can't actually believe that I can afford a piano that feels and sounds as good as this. (I am still very rubbish at playing it, though; but that's one for future Lockdown Achievements sugna to worry about.)

I also have some old computer kit to find a use for or dispose of. Really quite out-dated stuff, laptops from about 8 years ago. They are part of a clear-out from a younger family member, and I've been trying to distribute to good homes, where all people need is a browser and the things that come with it such as Drive.

Yesterday I managed to hook-up one of the laptops that's running Ubuntu to the new pianay, using MIDI over USB. Captured 8 bars of my (frankly, lamentable) playing, then played it back through the digital piano. Punted it into the cloud as a MIDI file, then accessed it and played it back on my phone.

All that connectivity stuff is now working great for me, and I am stoked about the possibilities.

The only slightly tricky part was getting the "DAW" application, Rosegarden, to do its stuff. But I'm hoping that's solid now it's done.

tl;dr I've found another reason not to practise piano.

Successfully worked around work IT settings to install my home printer and scanner to scan documents for a massive project I am working on.

Expecting some bother down the line if they do a program check but I get the feeling that as the director of pension admin is project lead my ingenuity might be a saving grace towards delivering project on time and it will be brushed under carpet once I promise to remove when project/ lockdown is over.

The joys.

At least if they sack you then you can scan your arse into their system.

"Roll on" is one of the golden phrases of P&B where a reaction is a cast iron guarantee. Even as other ones like PIN number have been rumbled, "roll on" just keeps on rolling on

A roll on beans? WTF? An egg banjo, aye but beans?
Beans are a fine addition to a roll. The best example of the genre being a roll on pie and beans.

See above, I won't change and I won't apologise. If u can't handle me at my worst u don't deserve me at my best.

Well, I get that - the walls of the pie will keep the beans in place. Still weird

 

By the way, is Alloa the only ground where you can get a roll on pie?

I never said how good my best was.

It's the only one I have frequented.
