poor neglected harp

[celticdragonfly]

Okay, that was sad. Earlier today Maggie was playing on the piano, and asked me to come play on my harp for her. She's not allowed to touch the harp.

So I did.

I had to *dust* her. (The harp. Not Maggie. selenite found that confusing earlier) I tuned her and and played around a little.

I seriously need more time on my harp. At least I do now know I can handle the harpstool again. I couldn't for quite awhile due to coccyx problems and surgery recovery.

Just now the kids were stable and happy, so I went back to the harp and started repracticing some of my favorite piece of music for her, which I had handy. I want to find the harp music and start practicing again. (And get those boxes OUT of the corner next to the harp, so I can get to her more easily)

I shouldn't, I suppose. I have so much housework I should be doing, and I have knitting commission work I should be spending every spare moment on. But it did feel nice.

Yep, that'll make a fine tombstone -- She did lots of housework really good. :)

Go, you! Go, music! Enjoy yourself.

(Sorry, I don't know you well enough to tease you, but what a delightful talent, to play the harp. Dishes? Bah. Any fool can do dishes.)

Dishes? Bah. Any fool can do dishes.

Second that! I wish I were close enough to offer to *do* the dishes while I listened to you play the harp. I'd consider that a fine trade. :)

But this _is_ housework -- after all, the harp is part of your home, so you need to use it so it doesn't get so dusty next time, and you need to play it so it stays in good shape....

...you're not buying this, are you?

(I'd classify it as switching a segment of your day from housework to childrearing, anyway, since Maggie requested it.)

Okay, I so knew that you were talking about the harp.....hmmmm...maybe sometime we can schedule some time to sit around and noodle. I have 2, and playing the girls has not been a priority in years....it would be fun to try again.

Sigh, you just made me think of an ex-girlfriend of mine (25 years ago!) who played the flute and the (concert) harp (but not at the same time).
