That's interesting! don't know how you managed to qualify in music then, unless all you had to do was to attend the lectures etc.
As a music student I was allowed free lessons on an instrument which was not my main one. That was the trumpet and as, beyond chord symbols, I couldn't read music and play it for the guitar, I chose to go for that. The guitar teacher and I met up, we got our instruments out, he asked me to show him what sort of thing I did, we jammed together for the rest of the hour, then he laughed and said "I can't teach you anything!". So I then got free piano lessons which weren't much use either! I still can't do both hands together much from music, although I do, playing in my own way from chord symbols.
You and Wifey would get on, on the craft front. She cannot sit still and watch telly for instance unless she is sewing, knitting, cross-stitching, quilting, etc etc. and as a guider, she used to do all sorts of other craft stuff which she has kept up long beyond being a guider, which she packed in long before I met her. And she can play the cornet! not that she does much nowadays!
Sometimes wish I had done "resistant materials" instead of languages. But I had no qualifications in it.
Used to love covering the lessons and chatting with the teachers down there. Once in a blue moon they'd even seek my advice about a carburettor or something, which I found flattering. (They knew about my kit cars as I used to drive them to work.)
Funny old job, eh?
