I didn’t think there was a heater in there, but can’t remember really. But could put a fan heater in there. Though I think it would be more of the bit nippy quick into bed rather than arrgh it’s freezing type temp

Yeah, I’d gone away and thought I should come back and add the second! Helen knows he’s not coming (he has a weekend away with his his dogsitters – if he could anticipate things, he would be bouncing with excitement), but realised it might not be quite so obvious to anyone else

OMG hadn’t even considered he might. Glad I didn’t read inbetween your two comments otherwise I’d have been frantically typing my excuses!

modal vs tonal is really common I think. The music classes we go to are kodaly/colourstring based and the music they start with is modal and folksong ish. The first book for the class is pentatonic which most kids seem to fairly naturally be able to sing, and the third book is minor, but natural minor (as opposed to melodic/harmonic, hmm which mode is that aolian? I forget) Confused me because the scale starts on La.

It’s pretty bloody cold in our loft too, but C and I have toughed it out all winter – we could bring our huge pile of covers and a camping heater with us! (Perhaps we should sneak the dog up there too for extra warmth – had promised him he could snuggle up with Nic )

Hayloft is a possibility (even tho there is an odd smell at the mo), but it is used for storing lots of stuff, which does tend to spread around, so give me enough time to organise it back into a pile. It’s been converted into a room, has carpet lights, and even a handbasin (cold water), but it’s pretty cold in there

Ah, was wondering about bagging hayloft for C and me – on the basis that it might be more cat-free than the house? (C having only just realised (i.e. when I told him) that you have cats – assume they are still there?!)
