Bricks on the roof

October rainbow challenge - Week 2: Manmade World - Tuesday: Orange (or terracotta actually)

A nice brick feature on the roof of an Edwardian terrace is sunlit this morning.

Odd day - strangely coincidental but both my old boss and my new boss announced they were leaving the department today. Great news for them both - but, in the case of my new boss, leaves us in a bit of uncertainty as to who we'll get to replace her.

Then as I was leaving work, seemed to get a bit of a dicky tummy - and wondered if I'd be able to do my violin class and music session this evening. Went along to the violin class as it's only up the road - and felt a lot better after that, so Dave dropped me off at the session. So a nice evening of music-making (well not during the violin class actually, it being my second lesson - will I ever get used to the sound of cats caterwauling I wonder?).

another good texture shot and the light and colour gorgeous. I've been playing the viola 33 years and i'm sure i only sound a teeny bit better than when I started!!

nicely spotted........ @sparkle had you down as a viola player :-)

@andycoleborn not sure if that is a compliment or a piss take...if you were a violin player it would definitely be a piss take!! :o)

@sparkle - I would actually ultimately like to play the viola ...

@boxplayer you know most viola players are failed violinists....?? LOL (I played violin for 5 years before switching!) it makes a better sound than a violin and that's my excuse anyway!!

@sparkle ha ha that'll be me then - but seriously, I prefer the lower register and like playing harmonies/counter melodies more than the main tune (well I do singing anyway)

@boxplayer yeah I'm the same - I sing alto - violas have some amazing melodies and harmonies - love that sweet spot tuning!!

@sparkle mate... I can't even whistle a tune so major kudos to anyone who can play any type of musical instrument :-)

@sparkle well, I suppose I should add I can shout "Play up Pompey, Pompey play Up" pretty well :-D
