The weekly clarinet group at our house grew to a sextet , but on only one occasion have all six been here together ! Perhaps we should have mowed the grass - - ducklings have such a hard time , it 's like a jungle with no machetes - - but we eventually moved these two weaklings to the sick bay , a grass-filled shoebox in the laundry , and gave them water and soaked oats . The next morning there were still twelve . Then when you're full it 's time for rice , maybe two different kinds , covered with hot , wet , spicy dhal . The two of them got on extremely well and had a great time . In November Ian went to Lubeck , Germany , for a conference , then to London to give a seminar and a one-day workshop at University College , London , then back home to N. Ireland for a week to see how his Mum was getting on ( just fine ! The food will keep coming until you call a halt , firmly . Ian was staying with the Andreaes ( in whose house , we guess , Anna was conceived 23 years ago ) , and Anna joined them for some nice meals . This year the Hamilton group , of which she is president , volunteered to host it . The station was not busy , and they sat on a bench to consider their options .
