I have recently bought an all black violin.

It came with an all black bow, the wood and the hair being black.

I’m incredibly thrilled to play it, although it is quite cheaply made, it is a pretty thing. It might be more of an instrument to practise with.

You’re in for a true concert, John.

ask-mycroft replied to your post: Do you have any good memories of you and Mycroft? Times where you two came through for each other as brothers?

Don’t be ridiculous. You’re always my little brother. M

Obviously.

That’s all biological though, Mycroft. Don’t be dull.

In a bit of a ponderous state:

Are American Presidents as deserving of praise as they are made out to be?

I know, at least currently, most of those in England are in support of President Obama. But we hardly know anything of his domestic policy.

And along that line of thought, can we please relocate Mycroft to a smaller position?

An official foodie blogger for the Queen, perhaps?
