Practice

Three and a bit hours practice today - much easier to get motivated on long weekends, more difficult after working all day.

Music

I am trying to practice regularly but working really saps one's energy. I do much better on weekends and holidays; then you can give it the concentration that serious practice demands.

I am working on some of my old repetoire that I've not played for many years.
I have limited success as I suffer from focal dystonia which affects (in my case) the index finger of my right hand.

Also trying to get in a bit of piano practice. So many things to do and not enough time in the day (work again!) very character-building this trying to regain some facility on an instrument.

I admire people who work in a non-musical job and can still find the energy to practice/ play each night.
Oh well ,as the late Kurt Vonnegut used to say " so it goes" or perhaps "Hi ho"
