Just like when I played the piano and the trumpet on a regular basis, I found that sometimes I had to make myself practise just to keep the momentum going. If I didn't do that then I could easily imagine weeks -- if not months -- going by without touching an instrument. This was not at all because I didn't enjoy playing the instruments, but once you commit to doing something in life that is long-term, sometimes you need a little push to keep on doing it. In reality, it has not been weeks or months since I played the piano and trumpet, but actually years. The last time I was really playing must have been May 2006, just as I finished my course at university. I never would have expected my life to turn in such a strange direction. I really must do something about that soon, I do miss playing music a lot now.
My old and broken trumpet (my newer one is in China)I have spent a few days in my holiday working with my dad at his shop covering for my mum who has been ill with the flu. She is almost back to normal now, but I will be going to work again tomorrow and earning a few fairly worthless £'s.

Man, you don't need to write here that often. once a week,more or less. No one forces you. Writing here is a habit or a hobby to keep feelings, thoughts or memories. Take it easy. You won't stop it because you have us following you.
Chris! I hope u still keep practicing piano and trumpet regularly! We were the music students in the past, I know what u mean.
My Fender electric guitars, Roland Synthesizer, Mackie Mixer and ... are full of dust now. I play piano once a week due to some reasons. Haha! My current job is not related to music now, I don't know if I would forget what I have learnt before. Haha!
For your blog, I do enjoy reading it and thanks for reading mine. U can post the new blog whenever u have something to say. No problem!
It's funny you say that Mabel, I just sold my Mackie mixer on eBay the other day and posted it today. I got a good price for it too!
Kimi, if you like you can buy me a piano, I would be very grateful :) Or you can buy me an iMac, either will be just fine.
Thanks for that Johnny, I know what you mean, I just dont' trust my self enough I think. I'm worried I'll just forget.
