On very rare days, I practice my flute. I will admit that I don’t practice very often, and obviously I know I should, but, you know, stuff gets in the way and then I forget.

But today, I thought I would have a shot, having played my part of the duet (2nd Flute) barely adequately yesterday.  Sunday morning is always a good time to play the flute.

The old folk were already out and eating around the place.

I think the green grass is making a difference. I can see that Haakon and Iacs look less bleak now.

So I went over to my wee shed, got my flute out and played a few pieces accompanied by Youtube.  I don’t ever practice with scales etc (because it is very boring), but usually just play pieces I like through and then start on another.  The musical accompaniments on Youtube along with the music are a great way to practice.

And I was interested to see the horses appear, one at a time to either listen or fall asleep.

And so I played for well over an hour.  This was my last piece and forgive me for sounding flat and with a few (many) duff notes.  I was tired by now.

Amazingly, Iacs had stood and listened to me for the whole time, which I found lovely.

When Iacs woke up, I was already putting my flute away.  He seemed appreciative of my playing.

Haakon just made polite noises.

And with that the auditorium was empty, apart from a few ducks.

Everyone went back to eating somewhere else.  It was rather odd playing for sleeping horses, but in a nice way.
