hi, i am rebby
I am shorty's step kid

I got a really cool black dalek sec for X-mas, it is so cool and remote controlled.
I am learning to play the piano at CH, Christ's Hospital. It's fun but getting use to some one other than my step dad teaching me the piano is a little strange at first but it is slowly getting better!

I got books - a history of the theatre I work in, the RSPB guide to nature photography, a photography book about polar bears, and one about the background of Agatha Christie's novels. Oh, and some posh Indian tea and some money. Hurrah all round, some frighteningly accurate choices from my assorted friends and relations!

A book about God and a pair of shorts which need exchanging because they are too tight around the crotch. A tin of nuts which I ate and a bag of lollies which I do not intend to eat. A number of embraces from the ladies at work, some of which were more enlightening than others. A dose of wind after eating some rum balls on which flies had settled. A phone call from my son bemoaning his lack of money. Three bollockings from my wife consequent to assorted misdemeanours and omissions during my household duties. An hour long discussion about grass seed with a teetotal neighbour, during which I probably offended him by falling asleep.

My wife received a pink top and sweatshirt for her gym, gold earrings, a set of eight DVDs of Hercule Poirot and an attack of gout.

Will that information do to be going on with ?

Sounds like you had a great time ted. Hopefully you can escape the Hercule Poirot.

Regretfully, i bought my mother the entire first series of "Murder She Wrote". That i have not escaped.

both of the Schmidts are available from di-arezzo.co.uk. I didn't think they were actually famous enough to have a two-piano version, but there you go. I'll see if i can get the one i have scanned for you if you'd like.

thats ok about the scanning. i can wait. i have the popular ones like the ravel and prokofiev 4, hindemith, britten's diversions, the two strauss pieces, and perhaps a few others. it would be nice to have a list so i can check them off. im still on the hunt for the korngold and schmitt and whatever other left hand concertos i find out about.

The Korngold, is apparently only available for rent from Schott if you agree to perform it. I have no idea why they don't just publish it.

It's fine, i already have those concertos. And you did give me the Bortkiewicz concerti a few months ago, so i guess we're even.  :)

CD's: Mosolov, Varese, Penderecki, Ligeti, Bussotti, Sciarrino, Donatoni, Sorabji

DVD's: Arrested Development Season 3, Complete Curb Your Enthusiasm

Books: some random poker books by Sklansky and Harrington, then some music theory/composition ones by Fux, Brindle, Persichetti and Blatter.

Then randomly some nice noise-canceling headphones (listening to Ginastera Piano Concerto No. 2 on full volume with them is not suggested)

And some chocolate, even though I hate chocolate.

Then some clothes: skimpy nauticaa briefs, a pierre cardin belt and a really hot pink ralph lauren oxford, even though i already have one.

Then I got some cash, which i used to get some new bedding and two... toys.
