Holidays
Well I've got a month off from concerts now so I'm taking the opportunity to have a break from the piano for a week or two. My wife's sister and brother-in-law are coming to stay in a couple of months so I'm doing some long overdue DIY - stripping wallpaper and repainting the kitchen and bathroom. I'd like to say this has been very therapeutic but actually it was rather stressful due to my woeful knowledge of electrical wiring. I had to change the switch for the bathroom light and couldn't get it to work again. I'm not telling you what I did - too embarrassing - but after a couple of hours of trying everything I could think of I was ready to call out an electrician. In the event I didn't need to since Edward McKenzie of Midcalder took the time to diagnose the problem over the phone. Great guy. Here, you can even have his phone number: 0800 037103
