You seem to spend quite a bit of time online - do you work from home? What instrument(s) do you play?

No, I don't work from home, but I have been working only half days most of the time since I got that stupid inflammation. My main instrument is the cello, but I don't use it in music therapy (but I have gigs from time to time). The piano was the main instrument in my music therapy studies, and I use it if there is one, but most preschools don't have a piano. After I started working here, I have taught myself the accordeon a little (because a music therapist working here earlier had left one), and a few chords on the guitar (that's an instrument most preschools have, and it has many qualities which make it a good instrument for therapy; even children with huge motor problems are often able to pluck the strings, for instance). Oh yes, and the first instrument I learned was the recorder, and I have used that in therapy a few times. And I use a lot of instruments the children can play, like drums, maracas, bells, xylophone etc.

Can I join in this thread too?

I have found I have lots of letters left on my keyboard that I haven't used up yet and this looks the perfect place to use them.

Sure, Scandinavians from Fiji are always welcome here! If you'd like some ice cream, I am afraid I have currently run out of earthworm flavour, but you can have cod or salmon flavour. And in case you are worried, I only use volunteer cod and salmon.

Sure! I don't think we have banned any people from the thread yet, though we did try to exorcise a few ghosts (one went away, one didn't).

Hi Nordlys. I was just eating some rather mundane coffee ice cream, as my grocery store refuses to carry the earthworm flavors. Maybe Ben and Jerry can be talked into it.

Speaking of ghosts, what happened to Wildfire?

It's a great shame about not having earthworm flavoured ice cream left because the "e" is one of the letters I have too many of. There isn't an "e" in either "cod" or "salmon" which means I wont be using any of my excess "e" characters up when asking for the ice cream.

Would it be possible to just ask for some ice cream and you select either one remaining ice cream entity, exactly one, preferably edible?

Hm, the cod flavoured ice cream looks a bit red, if that helps. And don't forget that it's made with selected volunteer cod. It can also be served with cream, if you wish. If you want exactly one serving, that's possible, but you can also have three if you want.

I didn't push them, they volunteered. I think they liked your name. You better don't tell them your real name.
