The question for this week is:
What skill would you like to learn?
My answer to this is that there are 2 significant things. I would love to learn how to fly aeroplanes and to play the guitar.
Ever since I was a kid learning piano I've wanted to learn to play the guitar. I liked the idea of music being portable and I could still sing while playing (if I ever got that good). Pianos are not portable - although if I learned the piano accordion it would be.
As for aeroplanes ... I fell in love with flying at the age of 15 when I experienced my first flight and got to go up to the cockpit to have a look (back in the day when kids on a commercial flight were still invited to see, before the days of terrorism). I didn't just want to be a passenger (although I do enjoy that too); I wanted to fly myself.
Neither of these dreams are yet to be realised, and I think my fingers are too short to effectively play a guitar, but maybe one day ...
