A deer almost completely ring-barked one of our young apple trees. Annoyingly, the best growing tree of the lot! It's probably done for, particularly because it's been exposed a while, but I'm trying this technique to keep the area from drying out and hope it might heal. Basically wrap it in moss.

The most modern piano I own is a Yamaha Clavinova CLP-650, made in 1988, which is 7 years younger than my Realistic Concertmate, 50 years younger than my pianola and 82 years younger than my pipe organ.

Unfortunately it has a load of sticky keys and spraying it with various solvents just made it worse so I'm disassembling it completely, which takes ages because even electronic pianos have loads of bloody keys, and springs, and levers and shit.

Spotted my first tiny balancing sheep in the wilds of Wales!

Rosey seemed to get a bit too chilly for my liking on the hike yesterday so I carried her part of the way. Luckily she's not grown up be particularly big, though then she might not have been as cold!
