      I don’t know how much it costs, but if I broke it I’m sure all the money I have couldn’t buy a new one! Luckily thats unlikely to happen!
      Its electricity bills alone would cost a fortune!

      The martian meteorites I’m studying – there have only been ~130 identified to date, they are rare and precious. Although I did also play a Stradivarius violin in a pub in Norfolk once….
