I have some news to share on the piano front but am too tired to record it now. Anyway, I've been playing a bit, working on Fur Elise since I know M's dad will request it when he visits, and also on some Chopin pieces that I used to be able to play but now my fingers stumble across the keyboard. Years of playing on a digital has made me heavy handed, and boy, Chopin waltzes are long. Working on Grand Valse Brillante.
It's frustrating to have lost so much. It will take awhile to work back to what I used to be able to do. Must remember that this applies to any lost skill.

That's a beautiful thought. I agree it's frustrating but I'm glad to hear someone say it because I'm going through the exact same thing. I miss music school where I was "paid" (not literally but, you know) to practice every day. Have not had a real piano since then. A keyboard is just not the same.
And Chopin....used to be a favorite. Oh well, at least we can start up again. I know many people who never played at all and really regret it now! ;)
Chopin is a favorite of mine too although I play mostly the waltzes since that's what I can seem to play. It would be amazing if I could play his etudes at some point but that may be beyond me.
