I went shopping at Big W for prizes for the kiddies this morning and was disturbed to find that they'd moved things around since last time I was there.  I hate it when shops change where they put stuff - it's very disorienting.  But they redeemed themselves by installing self-service registers!  Self-service is fantastic.  No dealing with dead-eyed ( Read more... )

Me: So, profiteroles...
Gnome: Yes.  Help me?
Me: No, I'd rather watch.
Gnome: ... How do you turn the oven on?
Me: ROFL

 My boy bought me a dozen red roses and had them couriered here this morning with a card saying "I miss you" and now I'm all ding-batty and happy!  They're so pretty!!!  Now to figure out how to get them in a vase of water without messing up the arrangement...

Tonight, we held hands.  It was excellent.  They feel even sexier than they look.  All strong and lean and tendony and smooth...  *drool*

I was going to post about Cats and how awesometastic it was, but you'll just have to take that as a given since right now I can't seem to get his hands out of my head.  *shiver*

Oh, to have those hands at my

Maybe having suffered many panic attacks over the years could turn out to have been a good thing. I had a student come into his lesson today and start tearing up straight away. When I asked him what was the matter, he started hyperventilating and couldn't get any words out. I talked him through a breathing exercise which helped him to calm down ( Read more... )

I don't think I've posted about Music Store Dude yet. His name is Sacha. He is the first person I've ever met who narrates and raves and gesticulates wildly whilst playing excerpts of a piano piece to give the listener an idea of what it's about in the same manner that I do! He works at a music store that's a good half hour drive from my house ( Read more... )

As some of you know, my attention span has been hugely diminished for the last year or so and as a result I have found myself practically illiterate as far as reading fiction books is concerned.  A week or two ago, I was inordinately pleased to stumble upon The Left Hand Of God by Paul Hoffman.  I was drawn in from the first sentence.  I finished ( Read more... )

Just got a call from Primary Music Institute to say I've got the job!  I'll be teaching at schools in Duncraig, Mirrabooka and Beldon.  There's a two day training thing next Thursday and Friday and I've got to pick up a bunch of equipment next week as well.  This is going to be fantastic ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I posted and I'll do a proper update in a day or two (if I remember) but I had to immortalise the Big Event Of The Day before going to sleep.

I went to the cat haven with mum this morning to donate towels and stuff that she was getting rid of and we decided to look at the cats and kittens. When I say we, I mean I. And when ( Read more... )

Went out and did circuits with Leith for 1.2hrs before packing it in for the day as it was becoming nearly impossible to land. There was a crosswind and it was gusty and a bit turbulent and getting worse the longer we were out.

We started on runway 25 but switched to 07 after one circuit because it was just silly trying to land from that direction ( Read more... )
