Look who I'm on the IC with!

[BaddieThePirate]

I went to see a sports therapist today and have reams of exercises to do. A sprain with an aggravated plantar (and aggravated plantars are really mean creatures). I've got some orthotics to try. Went for a W1R1 C25K run today but ran the walk sections and walked the run sections, all slowly as a test.

So while I'm on the IC I fancied some company/something to do and purchased a student cello. I've got to lesson 4 in the book and am working on playing London Bridge is Falling Down. Remember that one from school days? 🎶

I was miffed to miss a sunny 🌤 park run on Sat but buying of new running t-shirt and socks, and a cello kept me out of mischief!

Good luck with the cello 😀hope you heal quickly its not good when your on ic but what a great pass time for you ..im more guitar but im not very good 😭 one does try lol 👍

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Myrar]

We could form a C25K band! My first instrument, and the only one I play well is the school recorder. No jokes please! I play it well enough for someone to tell me there was a Peruvian flute player in the house. (?? I was playing Irish music!) 😂

[Myrar]

London bridge keeps falling down 🎶sounds good to me keep going ....what would we call the band ? Rhymes maybe ? Lol 🎶🎶

Oh no, Baddie...hope you get sorted out soon, and don’t have time to perfect the cello playing! Well done on finding something to keep you busy, though. ❤️❤️

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

Ouch....plantar kills even when it’s not aggravated! Sorry to hear you’re on the IC baddie...but looks like you’ve plenty to keep you occupied?! You’ll be playing the hovis ad before you know it!!

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

What a good idea, I'll have a go at that!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Can you tell that I’ve learned instruments?? These are def a couple you start off with!! I can recommend ‘A tune a day’ 😉

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

Right you're in the C25K band too then!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Lol...🎵🎵🎵

[roseabi]

Sorry you're injured, but that's awesome!!!!

[Sybilw Graduate10]

I love the randomness of your choice! Hope it’s not too long before you’re back on track as it were. 🏃🏼‍♀️🤞

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

It' seems not that random, I've tried everything smaller already 😊

[Sybilw Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Hope you never have to resort to a double bass then 🤣🤣

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to Sybilw]

Had a go on one of those but my hands aren't strong enough.

What a great use of your time on the IC. A few years ago when I was off work for a couple months after surgery, I had my son showing me some of the things he was learning during his guitar lessons. I really enjoyed it, but unfortunately life got back in the way when I went back to work and restarted running again. I enjoy listening to him rock out on his electric guitar but do stare longingly at the guitars from time to time. Perhaps some day I'll try to pick it up again.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Yes do it, it's great to be able to make music.

Well done on going to the sports injury specialist baddy. Don’t go playing the cello with your foot now. It needs rest.

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

So sorry to hear that you are on the IC Baddie but its good that you have seen an expert to get some recovery exercises.

I wish you luck with your cello lessons. Silent Night was one of my tunes on the recorder. Maybe you do that in time for 🎅🏻 (it’s too early to say the word.)

[HappyNoodle Graduate10]

Wow, you really meant it! Can you upload audio here? I’d love to hear London Bridge on the cello! Good luck recuperating and learning. I have had plantar pain from walking though. I wore barefoot shoes for screw years and had to switch to support trainers never went back. I do miss them though.

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to HappyNoodle]

I thought I was doing really well until I tried to record it. I'm rubbish (but I am a newby)! Maybe next year!

[HappyNoodle Graduate10 in reply to BaddieThePirate]

No pressure intended ☺️ just enjoy it

[BaddieThePirate Graduate10 in reply to HappyNoodle]

I LOVE it! My neighbour has just gone away for a few days. I wonder if there is a link?
