I hope the snowy weather tails off after the weekend as I'm booked on a coach trip to tour the Morgan car company factory in Malvern on Wednesday.
ooh. Swimbo did that for one of my birthday presents last year, plus hire of a 4+4 for the day....
Should point out that the 4+4 was a very tight squeeze...

We haven't bought it yet! Have to get back from Malta first!
Kawai CA78 - latest model.
Snap! Mine is a CA78 and it has proved totally reliable and a constant source of pleasure. It really is a quality instrument (as it should be for the price) and I'm sure you would not be disappointed with it. I spent some time searching the UK for stockists but eventually bought from Thomann in Germany for a price lower than that obtaining here. I'm not familiar with the spec of the latest incarnation but I suspect most of any differences between that and my 2009 model probably are marketing "improvements". Never looked back.
As an irrelevant aside, I lived on Gonzo (Xewkija) for five years but this was a long time ago when it was a very different place.

Trying to buy some bits in Maplin's closing down sale but add to basket doesn't work (constantly 'busy') and can't sign in - which used to work
Later add to basket worked, so managed to order some sleeving and wire as a 'guest'.

This retirement lark is harder than actual work! LOL. I’ve not stopped, getting very near to the end of a tricky system upgrade for my local sports club where I get a bit of pay for my help. All the back end membership admin stuff was completed a while ago like payments etc (we have a good developer!) and last week we installed a new RFID electronic door entry system linked to the back office DB so we can see who is coming into the club. Yesterday we installed the bar PoS system again linked which not only involved the setup of all the prices/discounts etc but removal of all the legacy hardware. Next week the final piece is an on-line squash court booking system with automatic light control timed to bookings that will replace the old one. More hardware trashing and biting of finger nails!
