After Jörg repaired the ancient airgun we found in the attic (along with the WWII gun; but unlike the WWII gun which we had to turn in, we got to keep the airgun, which was a) broken and b) well, an airgun) last Monday, and found he got it to work but it was kind of unsatisfying.
Now ever since he was a boy he apparently dreamed of buying an airgun in a special shop in Remscheid, and this week he decided to give in and went and bought one. A Beretta, what's more.

Meanwhile, I have been desiring an Alto recorder for a while (not quite true: Actually I've been desiring an Alto and a new Soprano recorder for a while). Of course if I had the money to be truly irrational, I'd be looking at something made of olive or tulip wood, preferably by some reknowned recorder maker---
but let's face it, I am not, nor will I ever be, a professional or even particularly talented recorder player, nor am I likely to do anything more than play dancing tunes and christmas carols. For which my old elementary school soprano recorder should suffice, really.

But as Jörg irrationally fulfilled his childhood wish, I thought I'd be irrational, too...

Sooooo.... now I have a shiny new Alto recorder. 42 cm, pearwood with a cedar block (hey, that sounds almost Harry Potter-esque!) from a friendly Swiss manufacture.

Only sad thing is I can't really play it much yet - during the first weeks I may only play it 5 - 10 minutes a day, to break it in so to say. If you'd told me a month ago I'd be impatient to finally play a musical instrument again, I'd have laughed at you...

So. Name suggestions? I'm half tempted to go with Daeron, but somehow that's so... depressive, so you suggest something. And then I'll discard it and go for Daeron anyway, or so. *ducks*
