Unsurprisingly the course got cancelled because there was no other interest.
They were going to run another one and let me know but I never heard from them again.
That was a bit of a blessing.
My family got a refund and bought me a bottle of I assume really nice whisky with it. I had given up alcohol a while before so I still have that for guests and emergencies.
It remains unopened as I have had neither.
Still have the drum. I use it as an ornament and conversation piece.
In a strange twist I joined a samba band for a few days in the XR rebellion in April. There I discovered I have absolutely no sense of rhythm or timing.
I won't be doing that again.
This year they got me a pair of Jeans. Terrible things to cycle in though.
For christmas my family got me a drum.
An african drum.
And drumming lessons.
African drumming lessons.
Whenever I am at a festival and I see these groups doing these drumming things I look at them with complete contempt.
My family must have misconstrued my contemptuousness for admiration or envy.
Now I have 8 Thursdays of drumming lessons.
And a fucking drum.
