Am a bit bummed out: I had a rehearsal yesterday which I couldn't miss... I also had a grading for Taekwon do :( So I didn't grade. Practically I didn't know my pattern well enough and wasn't au fait with the korean needed, but I'd still have liked to have tried. It's the first grading I have missed. I was also pulled up for not being flowing ( Read more... )

Well, "Animal Farm" is now in rehearsal and completely and utterly MAD! 33 kids of ages ranging from 8 - 18. It wouldn't be so bad, but they are all on stage all of the time, so the blocking is absolutely appauling. And I have to write down every single move. AAAARGH! There will probably be a small rainforest decimated by the time January ( Read more... )

Am seriously thinking of going to university, but haven't got a clue what to do... what do you think? History? English? Psychology? Forensics? Music? A teaching degree?? I don't know. All of these attract me. I just can't make my mind up. Oh to be single-minded!

Had a great weekend visiting thekumquat and conflux this weekend. I met thekumquat after an all important conference and drove her back to her place. We spent a very pleasant evening eating pizza and catching up -- this is one drawback to not seeing people very often... you do have a lot of talking to do! Then on the Saturday after a manic rush around a very mad Sainsbury ( Read more... )

It's been a while since anyone has commented anything relevent in my lj. Does no-one love me anymore??

Today not so good. Mum sent me out on an errand earlier with £30. I managed to spend less than a tenner and got home with about £3 change. Shit shit shit! Spent most of the morning retracing my steps trying to find the damn thing. No joy though.

Isn't HEX good though?!

Yay :) It's all done. My parents took the last week off and we've spent it decorating the (finally finished) conservatory, utility room and toilet. And it now looks lovely. Unfortunately due to the conservatory roof being nearly opaque the dining room then looked so dark you wouldn't be able to see your dinner, so Dad had the bright idea of ( Read more... )

Oh jeepers, that was an exhausting workout. I've just got back from TaeKwon do and the usual chap wasn't there, so one of the younger black belts took it. He's about 22 and has been doing tkd since he was about 9, so is incredibly supple and fit. He got us doing all sorts of exercises at such a speed we really couldn't keep up. And then said " ( Read more... )

So I have gone from a ear infection with no ear ache to a chest infection with no chest ache! And who says I'm abnormal ( Read more... )

I went to a cheese and wine evening at the local music shop on Friday evening where they were promoting things like saxophones and flutes. There were a few teachers there, and the head of the local music centre too. She remembered me from when I used to go (about 10 years ago!) and also remembered that I played the 'cello. Whilst talking to the ( Read more... )
