(Brother in law + family coming for younger daughter's 1st communion in June therefore my wife has said 1 & 2 WILL BE DONE BY THEN.)

3. Move piano from my late mother's house to ours.
4. Clear & sell Mum's house (before council tax becomes due in May).
5. Move both daughters into a larger, shared bedroom and convert the old room into a music room.

6. Work out how my TI Keyboard works!
7. Work on some tracks with my guitarist mate who said he could help with tasks 1 & 2.

Piece of cake really.

Dude! You've made me feel great about my summer, becaues you're busier than me! Thanks Bro. Now I can probably relax a little bit.

Also, I see that your wife and my wife has mastered mandating project deadlines. How do they do that???

You've heard the old phrase "A woman's work is never done..."?

We need to add 3 more words - "by a woman"

BWAAHHH!! ROFLMAO!!! The weaker sex, whatever. My wife got me good a few years ago. She spoke with one of our neighbors and found out they were having a BBQ at 4:00 PM that afternoon. So, she asked me if I would like to go to it (at about 12:30 PM), and of course I said "Yes." Then she said "Great. Then "we" need to mow the lawn, get my car washed, and gas it up too." Who do you think got to do all that?

How sophisticated of a setup are you planning for your music room? I converted my garage into a den/office/guestroom/studio. It's my lair. I just had four bad ass prints framed on box canvas and hung them on the wall to liven up the room. My PA speakers are wall mounted on the back wall, two desks run along it, one my DAW the other my schoolwork PC. It's not acoustically treated at all, but it actually doesn't sound half bad in there as the back wall is covered with three bookcases loaded with all my old textbooks (and my wife's too) and there's carpet on the floor in there so there has got to be some dampening effect from all that. Will post pics soon. I just bought a "Gemini L Desk" (available in cherry/silver OR maple/black) for $89 from Staples. It's a great desk for a DAW (It has a second shelf which can hold some small nearfields + a LCD monitor; which can be modded to be more heavy duty of course) and delivery is free, a greaty deal compared to the shitty Studio RTA creation station for $199 + $70shipping from Musician's Friend.

Time to go to work. Isn't it ironic that work can be restful compared to life at home?

Alex, just buy a bloody ticket to Vantaa International. We're the Airport City gateway to the fekking world ffs.

A woman's work is never done, indeed. That's a top line. Defo stealing that for use in future English classes. The only joke I do about women is when I teach prefixes; un, il, dis, mis, im, in, etc.

"Now. Ladies. The next word is "logical" so you won't understand that anyway. But guys, what is the prefix we use to make the antonym?"

Nice on the joke from class! Bet you get slapped one day for it.

Vantaa International it is. I'm scheming up ways to pay for it now. The gears are in motion...

Jesus. I'd better start dieting..

We're gonna take you to the Finnish lakes mate. Much beer and mosquitos await.

And any other UVis. Cottage, lake, sauna, beer awaits mates. All welcome.

btw. I may drown you alive.

[Old Vantaa Man]

But seriously..

If Alex comes over to Finland..

I have at my disposal a cottage by a lake where we could have some fun. In Finland.

Fishing. Gay sex. Or not. More fishing probably. Welcome all.
