Medicine...

The whole Blogging thing is not getting off to a great star I have to admit, and I'm having a bit of fun with webshots but hopefully that should soon be ok as well. Well for the past few days I've been in Lewes with Glyndebourne Youth Opera getting ready for the tour to Utrecht (in Holland). This is supposedly my punishment for being such a nuisance on tour with them when I was part of the orchestra.

I was thinking a couple of days ago about people getting ill... I don't want to sound like a stereotypical old man reminiscing about the good old days but people never used to get this ill did they? I mean I've never had a day off school because I was sick, (I just checked with my mum and she confirmed it) I'm proud of my immune system. And my metabolism.

However the traditional family cure for anything is Lucozade. Lots and lots of Lucozade.
and mars bars.

And my mum swears that Whisky Macs get rid of colds.

I want to test that one....

Settling in

I fully admit that this blog is not looking too great at the minute, I'm not new to blogging so don't really have an excuse. But all the time that college essays are calling blogging has to take a bit of a back seat. The move to blogger from The space between nothing and nowhere was to create a new environment and try to encourage me to blog more.

whilst flicking though my Plato, as I am want to do, I found a rather good quote. Socrates has just outlined his philosopher ruler theory and:

"Glaucon's reply to this was to exclaim, 'My dear Socrates, if you make pronouncements of that sort, you can't be surprised if a large number of decent people take their coats off, pick up the nearest weapon, and come after you in their shirt sleeves to do something terrible to you. If you can't find an argument to hold them off and escape, you'll learn to your cost what it is to be laughed at.' "

I just thought this was wonderful. Gang warfare in Plato, Socrates evidently doesn't know what's good for him. ;)

The new blog...

well this is it.

End of blog.

(it was only a test anyway. Watch this space!)
