Reminds me of DH being stopped by a woman, when he was on duty as a traffic policeman. She asked him if he could release a mouse that she had in a humane mousetrap with her! She was taking it away from her house by car. Yes, he did release it to her relief. Not the normal kind of police duty!
-
Did the mouse hop, skip and dance away, whistling ;D
-
;D DH does public speaking including stories from his police days! I’ve heard his talks over and over and they still make me laugh.

It's great to get a giggle, something DH and I lack :-\
I grew up in a house where books were available, board games almost compulsory on a Sunday after lunch >:( ::) as well as learning the piano, recorder and clarinet. Whereas I wanted to learn the harp ........
Now that the property is in new ownership we have learned that he has a baby grand in the 'c.mas' room as well as playing other wind instruments. So it's gone full circle, I wish Dad was here to know. He played fiddle and Mum the organ and piano ......... Dad had a good singing voice which came out on long journeys when families travelled together in one car .......... Mum thought that she could sing :D. Now I can't read a note nor play chopsticks ::)

The Dementia Choir and Tom Grennan at Sheffield - singing at a Festival : such power, such fun. Bringing dementia into the public eye. It kills more people than any other disease in the UK.
I love and miss singing in a choir. I do wonder sometimes if I have dementia - I would never accept a diagnosis of Alzehimers as this cannot be diagnosed until Post Mortem. If the latter is diagnosed, less support is given to the patient.

There is increased evidence that singing increases endorphins, serotonin and dopamine. I always feel better after a singing session. It opens up the airways, which is important if you have a respiratory disease like asthma. I have to add in extra breaths in order to get to the end of a line, but who cares!

I do too. Everyone else has their hands over their ears (can't imagine why, it sounds fine to me).
-
Are you suggesting something? ;D Actually he recorded me singing a while back and I couldn’t bear listening!

I'm always singing to my music in the car, I get some funny looks whilst stopped at traffic lights ;D
