And now I am back very soon. No I still have not yet gone to sift through the passe` ou pas passe`. I thought something was wrong, didn't feel quite right. Ok and I'm now fixed only to be helloed by a nasty downpour. And then some people actually say they like watching the rain. I can never understand this boring hobby of rain-watching, it's just water obeying the law of gravity, what's there to look at more than perhaps a taking a fleeting look to see if it's raining or not? i could understand the fascination of watching the Niagara Falls, but simple rain? What a waste of time, I could have been running about for at least one hour, and no it's not that I'm scared of rain, or of shopping in the rain. I hate it because rain is a slippery thing, and no I don't want to fall, obviously that would be me too obeying the gravitational pull, I don't want to get wet, sprain something, or break another something in the process. You see, that's the thing with us musicians, we're massively scared of breaking bones because we know there's very little chance of them righting themselves completely. Of course we never include it in our CV because we get very little sympathy. We stand very still in showers, we are exceptionally careful of how to get out of a hot tub, because it could be fatal. So no, we, or at least I, have no fun in the shower. The classic text-book, peep-show playing around in the shower is a myth for me. I had a minor fracture once, (and it was not in any kind of bathroom but rather making it down the stairs in one second) thankfully it was not in a position (this is sounding like a mobile phone) to actually harm any of my playing or technique. I just got lucky once, I am not going to tempt fate. High heels are one other dangerous trap esecially if it's raining, they don't call them killer heels for nothing. It's still raining, and I am trying to weigh if my passion for shopping can actually overcome my fear of bone breaking...
