Yes, but unfortunately my sound has gone all silent on me. Wi-fi router blues. Will sort eventually.
The Ukulele Hooley was a terrific success. It's a long time since I've smiled all afternoon and evening, in between whooping and whistling. My own set went fine, finishing with Tulips copied from Nick Lucas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZMHJX4b9bU

Coincedentally, Friday's Grauniad had a feature on TUOoGB.
(But wouldn't it be weird if there were never any coincidences?)

And even more coincidentally...in Oxfam on Saturday, I bought 'An Introduction to Wittgenstein'. One of those graphical books.

Is it 'Wittgenstein for Beginners' by John Heaton & Judy Groves? It is good . . . I seem to remember that it quotes W very faithfully.

Yes. But it seems to be called 'Introducing...'
Those pictorial books can be patchy - but the first one, 'Marx for Beginners' by Ruis is rather good - especially on Marx's philosophical context.
btw - please have a wonder over to 'Ask...' where I'm inviting people to get me into classical music.

OK . . . you've got me rereading that W for Beginners! If it is the same book, there is an interesting chess position on p100. Not checkmate, not quite stalemate either, but very tight.
