@33MHz I can play the treble-clef notes but can't read the bass part properly. I only learnt the right because I needed to know E, A, D and G for tuning my violin.

@33MHz I'm sure they'll love it. I can only play the right hand on a piano. Not quite sure why I never took the time to learn the left.

@33MHz @bascule_rascule jealous re the piano! Do you play or are you going to learn?

Lovely lunch. Now to steel myself for the necessary trip to the supermarket.

@der_Jeff only have scallops at certain restaurants. I've overcooked them on the few occasions I've bought them from the fishmonger. They are a treat, though, as only lobster seems to be more expensive per kg here.

@der_Jeff calamari or scallops are my default.

@der_Jeff calamari, followed by carbonara, followed by meringue with passion fruit cream with fresh raspberries and raspberry coulis. Fuelled by lard and sugar. :-)

Cannelloni sounds good. You making it from scratch? Doesn't that take an age to do?

@der_Jeff work still mental. Currently sat in a restaurant treating myself to a slap-up lunch to celebrate new part-time lectureship. Kiwi in NZ for 3 weeks so I'm Nora Nomates, being scowled at by other patrons for using my phone at the dinner table. ;-)
