A new stage in my life...................

[Grannie G]

There are plenty of sites where you can view and/or print off sheet music, with most you can also listen to it being played e.g. https://www.8notes.com/piano/

Thanks @nitram

Searching the net I couldn't believe music is available for kindles. I don't know how that will work. I`ll meed to start with very simple arrangements just to loosen my fingers.

I sold my piano to a colleague for her children.

When I started playing again I bought this book
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tunes-Youv...ll+the+tunes+you've+ever+wanted+to+play+piano
And the sequel. I like them, because they open out flat, being spiral bound. It says ‘easy’ but I reckon they are from grades 3-5. I guess that is ‘easy’ for some people!!

My Keyboard arrived today and I'm delighted.

Thank you for this @Amethyst59 . I have ordered this book to begin with so will see how I get on.

I think I might book a short refresher course of a few lessons. I might as well make the most of this loaned gift and think a few lessons will be the best way to go.

Ooh, that book looks fun! And it has some Debussy...did I mention my puppy? Debussy?!

This is a music shop near where I work, but I understand that they do quite a bit of on line business, which might be easier (or harder) to search compared to other large on line retailers. I bought my daughter's guitar here and some music for her, but I know they do a lot of sheet music. I've put the page to keyboard music. I don't play any instruments so may not be much help.

Thank you @jugglingmum

I`ll work with what I have ordered for now and when I take lessons might need to buy music suggested by the teacher. I'm really looking forward to this, especially with winter on the horizon.

You do sound very excited by it, which is lovely

My first piano lesson will be on Wednesday at 11am.

 

[Grannie G]

I was washed and changed and ready to go out when I decided something felt wrong and I cancelled.

I was making some lunch when I tripped against the slightly open washing machine door and fell heavily on the tiled kitchen floor.

I banged my bad knee and strained my wrist trying to save myself but was so lucky that was the only damage.

Because of my knee it took me ages to get up off the floor. My body felt like lead. I eventually manage to raise myself with the help of two kitchen chairs.

I'm so glad I didn't go out.

 

[Izzy]

Oh Sylvia. I’m so sorry to hear of your fall. Do you have a community alarm? It’s an awful thought that you might not have been able to get up.

I hope there’s no lasting damage.

 

[Grannie G]

Thanks Izzy.

I do have a care line alarm it was on my bedside table.

My mobile was in the living room and the three landline phones I have were all out of reach.

I doubt there will be lasting damage but my knees are sore and my wrist hurts.

I`ll be fine.

 

[LadyA]

Oh no, Sylvia! Hope you aren't in a lot of pain. I'm sure the jolt has been a shock to your system, too. Maybe a few days rest is in order!

 

[Grannie G]

Thanks @LadyA

I consider I got off lightly.

 

[LynneMcV]

Sorry to hear of your fall. It must have really shaken you up, let alone the pain. I hope you are doing ok now.

 

[Grannie G]

Thanks @LynneMcV. I'm OK. Its a warning to be more careful.

 

[Lindy50]

I'm sorry to hear of your fall Sylvia - I hope you're able to rest up a bit and get your strength back. Take care of yourself.
Love
Lindy xx

I hope you are not in too much pain this morning Sylvia, I know from experience that you can stiffen up over night.
