I currently don't have much time to put into hobbies, but I did some gardening/landscaping during a break in the rain last weekend. Felt great to get out and move around. Garden finally is put to bed for the winter (or what's left of it).

Just started learning how to play the ocarina today! It will take some time until I'll be any good, but I'm hoping to have fun while learning.

Ocarinas are loads of fun, and then the next step, once you've mastered them, is to use the ones without the fipple like this one:

Or, alternatively, the multi-barrelled ones with multiple fipples:

Both have their charms and frustrations.

Well, those two are certainly ones to blow, alright

Fipple! Fipple, fipple, FIP-ple. That’s great. I want an ocarina now.

Nice. I've got a ukulele that I've been learning to play off and on for several years.
