Relaxing (kinda)

This last week I've been focusing on recording, learning enough piano keyboard (and modifying it in the computer after recording it, so that the duration of the notes is correct), to plonk out a melody line.

It's a steep (sweary) learning curve, trying to translate that into music notation. I don't sightread music very easily. With any luck at all, I may be able to do it for at least some of the two songs I’m trying to write out.

In other news, I had purchased quite a bit of gold sateen fabric. I want to make something like a cross between a blazer and one of those Oscar Wilde type jackets. I found a pattern ( also in the Sally Anne; they have everything!) that will do for the front, and I’ll modify the back. Feeling rather smug. People seem to have either left town today to go out fishing or headed to Terrace. I think it's Riverboat Days. Beautiful weather, at any rate.
