@matigo That is worrying.
@kdfrawg Your band was probably competent. I'm listening from my room — through headphones — and can tell the brass section is all out of tune.
This band is playing Beethoven's 9th symphony — the famous final movement — over and over again. Ode to Joy to themselves, perhaps, but to absolutely no one else in the area…
I like where we live in HK, generally. Having the school across the street means that our seaview is unlikely to ever be blocked — schools don't go up and down like office buildings do. But every time their damned band rehearses, or they have an event outdoors with really loud speakers, I want to go down and smack each and every one of them. Doesn't help that there was no soundproofing work done to this apartment.
The problem with Mancini's pieces is that once I start, it's a full hour gone without me even noticing…
@keita He claims to be well enough to have dinner with us, so we'll keep a close eye on him for the next 2 hours and see him to his door…appreciate the concern :)
Made plans with 2 friends. On the way to meet 1, who was in the area, he told me that we needed to make an urgent trip to see 2 before heading to dinner.
Because the idiot managed to lose balance, fall backwards, and smack his head on the concrete floor.
We're supposed to be halfway through dinner by now…
