Well I got up to check. I thought that a car had driven into our house. Must go and check the biscuit tin now scared2:

Better to check any string instruments. All guitars, ukeleles and Mrs S's Mandolin in this house are out of tune this morning. Happens every time there is a tremor. Dunno why (and frankly don't want to know).

How often does she have tremors?

And several broken strings?
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Its sympathetic vibrations in the strings loosening the tuning screws (ok I admit it I'm blagging the reason. It probably would have sounded more convincing but I'm buggered if I can remember what they are called)  whistle:

Visiting some friends in London over half term The Boy was "experiementing" with tuning a guitar he found there in a corner. I told him he would snap the strings if he carried on doing it, I told him. But would he listen? Eh?
