Right, so I just took these with a webcam - I don't have a camera - so the quality is poor. And I'm hungover right now. And I didn't iron my shirt! What will the Hubski people think of me... I have a number of prized sentimental possessions (and one enormous prized practical one - my laptop, which has basically my entire productive output on it). But easily my most prized possessions are my two mandolins. They're part of something I always wanted to do - to play music - but never really got around to. Even when I did get one mandolin, and then the other, my playing was infrequent and it's only been this year that I've been practicing regularly and seeing good development. And it makes me happy, even if I'm still crap. Oh, I should totally upload a jig to Hubski some time or something. So I have two mandolins. The skinny one is the one I play most often now (closeup below) - I need to put strings on the other one and keep forgetting. They're both German - maker unknown - and over sixty years old.
