    Wanna help me move a pianny?

    I'm moving house this week.

    I thought I had everything sorted.

    Not quite so. Some things morph when you aren't looking...

    Need to move the piano to my daughter's place Wednesday. From Glenview, The Tron, to Te Rapa, The Tron. At my advanced age I can't lift it by myself anymore - not like I used to!

    Anyone able to give me a lift around the middle of the day? (It's not actually a real heavy pianny.) I could offer a reward of either six beers of assorted (and arcane [=international]) nature or a bottle of top red or white wine according to your particular taste.

    Probably could do it in an hour or close to.

    If you think you could lend a hand, I would be extremely grateful. Please PM.

    Thanks all.

    LOL!!! I had a practice today and not having played for about two years I was dismayed at how bad I was!

    Those old PG Tips ads were great, they should bring them back!

    I played a little Beethoven on mine today - might be the last time I have it to play on. Bit sad really - but then, when it comes down to it, I'd rather have the bike...
    My hands are all foooked with Dupetreyens Contracture anyway, so WTF?

    I'd spend three week riding over an hour on the piano

    Could you please post pics of said daughter, just for "informative" purposes?

    I need help to get it out of the house and into a furniture trailer at my end and back out of the trailer and into daughter's house at t'other end.
