ddickinson: How hot is it where you are?

ddickinson: Hello! *big hug*

Did you have a fun time playing 40K? Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?

l0rdtr3k: About 5000 and I've been playing 40K for a while.

ddickinson: How hot is it where you are?

l0rdtr3k: It was quite a long battle,around 3 hours,but it was fun.Today it'll be a last stand battle.

ddickinson: *Big return random tight hug*

The violin is indeed difficult, but also very beautiful. My partner started learning hers when she was very little and she always makes me so proud when I hear how well she plays. I know it's not the same, but have you thought about lessons on YouTube or other free online lessons or books? It's not the same, but it could help while he is not able to go to classes all the time, and it might be fun for him to do as he is interested in the violin. I would not worry about his age, in fact it's often said that it's easier to learn instruments at a younger age. The important thing is practicing and then practicing again some more. Do you think you would like your younger Owlet to learn to play an instrument when she is older? Can you play any instruments? I can't, just a bit of piano so far, but I'm enjoying it, even if I don't have a lot of time to practice it lately.

My brothers often offer to give me the time off during holidays, but they have kids and I like them to spend as much quality time with them as they can. They all work so hard and already miss stuff, so I want them to have all the time they can with their families. They do let me have Sundays off every week, while they are always switching which day they get off to make it fair on them. But they are kind enough to let me have a set day a week off to spend with my partner and make some plans for things for us to do together, so it's only fair I help them when it's a big holiday.

I'm a bit rusty with the tango and waltz, and I don't think we will be do any overly fancy moves, but it is fun and we enjoy dancing together, so it's worth me looking like I have two left feet. :-)

l0rdtr3k: Hello,Owl*hugs*

j0ekerr: A 5000 point battle?

I'm scared.

Well, it's not really summer unless the thermometer reaches 40ºC, anything under that is still considered cool springtime.

Only 3 hours for 5K points?

I can only assume that you had invested a shit load of points in personalities and big BLAARGH! figures rather than regular troops.

I remember my old 2K points games lasting around 2 hours.

Of course that was back in 3rd edition.

LaPtiteBete: Hum... I don't know... I'm not sure you can learn to play violin with a book... that's not the same for guitar or piano, I think... I don't know if there are free lessons on YouTube, for example... I'll have a look. I didn't think about that... :) thanks for the tip... you're right, it's easier if you learn it at a young age... I have no idea, about my younger owlet... maybe ! she seems to enjoy music so far, and touches her dad's guitar, and plays with her baby's music instruments quite a lot... :) I used to play (very little) guitar, but I forgot everything... :-( because I didn't practice for too long...
(about your brothers and organization : well, if everyone is happy like that, it's great :D)
(I'm sure you don't look like you have two left feet :D you're too modest...)

Hello, little blob !! *big hug* How are you doing ?

l0rdtr3k: I'm fine.How are you and the Owletes?

LaPtiteBete: Glad you're fine ! :) I am, too... tired, but... otherwise ok...
My older owlet is fine, he's looking forwards to the weekend so he can eat insane amounts of chocolate... the younger owlet is sick, unfortunately ; she has a bronchitis and asthma :-( I must blow her nose and give her ventolin with a strange device, and it's a tough task because she quite strongly struggles...

ElTerprise: See you all later. Off to some cooking :).

j0ekerr: Oy! I wanted to ask you, what's your opinion on heineken?

Soccorro: a breathing device with some medicine?

tinyE: It's Dutch. It's the best.

j0ekerr: I disagree, damn dutchmen!

But Carlsberg ain't much better either.
