    Shush! The booze-cake will have to do for now! 79, at the moment.

    Caliban, your age-fluctuations are reminding me of Sydney Carter's poem 'The Two-Way Clock'.

    May I have a slice of cake, please?

    And may I? You seem to be descending steadily through the decades, this has to be a good thing. DD

    Booze-cake for all! Well I was able to open the stall this morning AND I could keep my word and did the catering for the fashion show today. There was this funny question if I could help to move the grand piano. Well, I offered to carry the c-minor key. 72? And the mind set on fire-wood. Sorry if I'm boring. But the first cake is off. :(
    I never read this Sydney Carter poem. Will try to lay my trembling fingers on it. I'm definitely not Dorian Grey!

    Well done to you, that is splendid news and I hope you will take things easy tonight. I have a 210 year old grand piano (left at my late Ma's house) which was destined for firewood but can be recycled into quality writing instruments. She's an Erard, French, beautiful and temperamental. DD

    I'm sorry, DD, but you have to move it without me for a while :) It must weigh 2 tons!
    Yes I will try to forget the stress of this silly life for tonight. And I hope you succeed in doing the same.
    I answered to the "clammy" post and was notified that some moderator will have to approve to it first. I simply can't imagine why :? Whow!

    Perhaps you're getting too young and impetuous :lol:

    Maybe you were 'clammy' when you replied? :wink: I will pay a specialist firm £150 to shift it to its new location. I could have the piano restored but that would cost between £25 and £30,000 at the end of which the old girl would only be worth about a grand (boom-boom!) but only to someone in France.

    Rest up, sip summat gorgeous and hopefully tomorrow will be another 'better' day. DD

    Impetuous! Me! Pfh! Clammy peut être. I'm interested in your piano. I really need to get some firewood in before long. Yes, tomorrow will be another day. Scarlett O'? Tomorrow I want to be .... younger.

    You will not be burning my piano, end of. She has a quality walnut veneer, quality ebony and ivory veneers and a gorgeous box wood veneer on her insides. I plan to keep the legs and lid so some sort of coffee table can be created (the new house maye have enough room for the full-sized version, she's about eight feet long) .

    How do you create the circumflex? I can do this - é - but no more. :oops: I am not computery. :oops: DD

    Until now not one single person seems to be ok with birth-certificates and the numbers on them. Somehow I'm not very surprised.
    DD: I think I have a different keyboard. Above the M, slightly to the right there is this ^ thing. But I have to be careful, since it could come out as ¨. Tricky. I'm not a computer expert either. It's not even mine, in fact. And very, very small. Seems to be the luxury version, since I even have è é ç à and ù. Scandinavian languages are still problematic, though.

    That makes sense, European langages need these things, it's dull old English that doesn't. DD

    I don't think english is dull. I quite like it- when not spoken with a texan accent. And all those circumflexes can be confusing, indeed.
