QUOTE(barry-clari @ May 30 2010, 05:11 PM) Cool: Glad to hear that. What did you play? What's made me happy? I was the big bad wolf and woodcutter in a puppet show at a friend of my son's birthday party - (who is also the son of a local lovely Russian lady who is also the Concert pianist who I've previously mentioned) It went well. The kids enjoyed it and the parents were impressed too... ....It was even suggested we take it into the preschool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) And my friend was very pleased and grateful too.

Do you play flute to the same standard as your clarinet? Did you learn them together or pick up flute much later? Just interested.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Definitely not : I'm very much a clarinettist who plays other things! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I'm probably around grade 8ish standard on flute : though I've had lessons, I've not done an exam in flute. But I've done a lot of work on flute in various capacities, and have had invites back, so I guess I can find my way round the thing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Started clarinet at eight, saxophone at 16, flute at 16.

So there's hope for me yet - so long as I manage to find the time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) But all my time goes into improving my clarinet-ting at present and I can see the pay-off.

A really wonderful Trinity Sunday service at a very seldomly used but nonetheless beautiful church in York. The choir made a lovely sound - in front of the mayor and everything! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
At a different church this morning there was a gorgeous nine-month old baby. He was sitting on the floor after the service so I went over and he held up his arms for me to pick him up. It was absolutely lush! He was trying to eat a biscuit and he got it *everywhere* Matthew trying to clean his wee hands afterwards was quite funny... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) I wish I was 5 years older so that it would be an appropriate time to be acquiring one of my own. (How does that happen again? Oh yes, the stork.

The vet being open!
One of my rats was all snuffly so went to the vet on Friday, and she got antibiotics but hasn't got much better and this morning she was a quite a bit worse. So I phoned the vet at 8.32am to get their message that 'surgery opens at 9, please phone after 8.30 to make an appointment'. So I tried again at 8.45 and got the same message. Darn, I thought, they're not opening today. Still it gave the number for the duty vet, and I thought I could at least phone the duty vet for a chat and if necessary we'd meet. But I waited until 9am, just in case, and phoned again and a person answered! They said 'how soon can you be here?' and I said 'about 10 minutes' and they said for me to come straight down. So I did, and now I have extra antibiotics to try on top of the existing ones. Tomorrow morning, if she is the same or better, then good. If she is worse, then, well, return to the vet for a final visit. But I am delighted to discover that my vet opens on bank holidays (9-10am only), and that the vet saw us and thought in all honesty yes it was worth trying adding more medicine in and not just ending things now - since the rat is very perky, just not breathing very well and a bit gaspy at times. Not that I wouldn't have called the duty vet and paid the fee to have them open the surgery, yes, I absolutely would have paid that - it's just made me very happy not to have had to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
