Last Thing You Bought?

Andy, that's awesome! I also played piano in my youth. I kind of miss having a piano.

I was thinking of getting a piano if we moved house as we would have more space but I thought it might be pretentious as I don't actually know how to play.:D I would probably try to learn at least one song if I did buy one.

I bought more Christmas presents, that is it now as I have spent too much. The only thing left to get is a box of cards.:)

Moll, I was always intrigued by the Yamaha Disklavier (pseudo German mix of "disc" and "piano") range, where they basically added a very sophisticated mechanism that allows you to record and replay music (the keys are really moving as if a pianist was playing) on their normal pianos. One application, of course, is to purchase a famous pianist's rendition of a concert and have your piano play it to you.

This kind of automation, however, does not come cheap and adds a hefty premium to the already not cheap piano....

So for the one I just bought, here's its automatic counterpart... at a mere 27,000 USD, about twice the price of the basic (new) piano (USD 14.000).

I paid about 1,500 USD for the used one in Malaysia, which is an incredibly good price ... in the US or in Europe, I would have to pay at least USD 4,500 for a good one ...

This is not an old one, but just a normal violin bought in a shop our kids violin tutor suggested to us.

^ Aww. I bought one of those pens when I first adopted my puppy.

I just pre-ordered the majority of the Christmas day food as I had a money off voucher to use. Potatoes, parsnips, carrots, broccoli, onions, brussels sprouts, two types of vegan sausages, vegan bacon rashers, cranberry sauce and maple syrup. I still haven't decided what to have/make for the main dish or what to have for dessert.:D

I did some Christmas shopping:
A Los Angeles Kings throwback hoodie for one of my nephews;
A Harry and David food gift basket for my grandfather and his wife;
A personalized adult coloring book and pencils for one of my nieces (it's for stress relief, and I might even get one for myself)
A gift certificate to a restaurant for another niece to a place in San Antonio, Texas, where she will be moving in a couple of months.

I just bought a ticket to see Steven Wilson in concert in March. Happy, happy, happy.
 
Super cute, raggle!
I would like a new Christmas outfit or New Year's outfit, but I haven't been in the mood to shop for clothes, lol. I might try the thrift shops. Sometimes they have some neat stuff there.
 
Clothes shopping is horrible isn't it! That's why I usually stick to online ;)

But I tried that exact lace new look dress on last week & it fit nicely but way too long...so happy to see it in petite :)
