Hohner-ing my skills

I’ve started to get a bit of a tune out of my harmonica! By which I mean – I can string three notes together without it sounding like they’re being played by three different people (two of whom have no musical ability).

I think Philippa is regretting buying it for me, but it’s too late now. I’m determined to get better, and that takes practice. I can tell her patience is wearing thin when she walks into the kitchen, sees me about to put it into my mouth and says, ‘Can’t you take it to work and play it in the office?’

But as I said – “I’m determined to get better.” By which I mean – I will go at it hell-for-leather for a couple of weeks, then get bored with it, decide it’s hopeless even trying, and throw it in a drawer somewhere beside my magic tricks and my partly-designed board game. And then move onto something else….
