Gotta tell you about my melodica.














Look at it! A melodica is a sort of piano trumpet that plays like a keyboard that you blow into. I called it Freluquet.
I found the name while bored in a French lesson.
The literal translation of freluquet is whippersnapper. How great is that?
I can't play much, because I'm the least musical person I know, and I'm lazy. And I can't breathe today.
(How wooden is Robin Hood?)
John stayed last night! It was a great night. But I suddenly got a fever which John's probably caught. Anyway, back to Freluquet. I can play the Exorcist theme tune, some of Mad World, some made up Electro Boy thing. Karen's teaching me because she's an amazing instrumentalist.
Why doesn't Robin ever KILL the Sheriff? He always does the same thing. Sheriff ambushes Robin and his Merry Men, all the Sheriff's troops are killed, Marion appears and disappears (bringing a whole new level pointlessness to the series), a main character dies, Robin has a one-on-one fight with the Sheriff, Sheriff somehow escapes and things are back to normal. Storyline repeats itself in the next boring and pointless episode.

And isn't it just great when the BBC try to deal with issues on programs like Casualty?
Especially when they involve nonviolent protesters who can't read.
