Recorders

The girls got recorders for Christmas. They’re both downstairs abusing them now.

So far they have only learnt one note: that piercing one you get when you blow too hard with all holes uncovered.

Shriek! Shriek! Shriek-shriek-shriek!

Mike Oldfield this ain’t. I am approaching the point of despair.

A word from the wise: if your children ever come into posession of recorders, buy ear muffs or leave home.

    I hate recorders and they are banned from within ear shot of me, they are having lessons at school and I grump about saying time in class could be spent better doing other things. Neil helpfully dug out a recorder from 30 years ago at his mum’s house. Great. Worse than cheap toy hoovers and that’s saying something.

    Ah - Linda - toy hoovers. All those toys we gave the girls and never told them they could take batteries.
