The Technician turned up today and did his best and managed to tune the piano a bit and so I have an in tune piano albeit a note and a half lower than it should be. We have a plan now to start to play it and to get the Technician back in 4 months and gradually move that out to 6 months. He reckons we could get it back into pitch in a few years but it needs to be worked on to make that happen. The old piano is a wee bit too far gone to do much with and I need to chase up the new owners and see when they are coming as it needs to be hydrated.
Anyhow, piano available and in tune so I had a very brief play of it earlier and looking forward to perhaps digging out my books and starting to learn my chords again. It would be nice to have that sort of skill. Maybe I could get a tutor but who knows - I suppose I ought to get a paying job first on that one.
I was very concerned I was heading into a depressive state earlier today - before I heard my dad's news - but seem to have dragged myself out of that. I'm also going to take myself off to bed now and attempt to get to sleep without head going 90 to the dozen.
