a spot of clariing followed by a spot of oboeing followed by mmmmmm, not sure

Play squash.

I have a pile of books to get through

going to eat, wash pots then off to hear my clarinet teacher play Mozart.

of course, hope it goes well Would have liked to have been there.

Possibly sleep...am sooooo tired after the week's course in Cambridge. It was very good but incredibly full-on and non-stop days with a fair bit of stress thrown in for good measure..

Look forward to hearing the report of how it went!

read for a little while then bed

Excellent concert.

Glad it went well


I'm having a day out in the sunshine

Tidy up and plan a shopping trip.

Go for lunch at my brother's and present the ladybird toy I knitted to the cutest niece in the world.

Unfortunately I have to go into Central London to give a 30 minute presentation. This will put me even further behind with all that I have to do here. I'm still pretty exhausted after last week's toil so I could have done with a quiet day at home.

Hey ho.

continue with coursework then watch Apprentice

Thanks for the reminder

try to remove the white correction fluid from my finger, not sure how it managed to get there in the first place.........

Tidy up and put heating on in conservatory in time for tonight's choir committee meeting

I am going out to look for a small cupboard. We bought one yesterday, lugged the thing out of the car and upstairs only to find that although we had measured correctly, it didn't look right in the bathroom. What we had imagined did not resemble the reality! We are now cross with ourselves and have to start all over again!

I'm going to teach a pupil I haven't seen in three weeks! Then off down the local for steak and a bottle of wine night. (not all to myself, )

Write a 1,100 word article for 'Teach Primary'.

Get wine and cheese ready for the choir committee meeting

Probably ought to practice the sax as I have a lesson tomorrow....

Is that the magazine Cyrilla?

I'm going to double check my bag then maybe an early night..........

You have a busy old weekend coming up! In case you're not online tomorrow, have a fab time Louise x

Thank you Barry I'm sure I will x

Yup!

Have a lovely weekend!

Thanks Cyrilla, will keep a look out for your article


Am off to make coffee then do some oboe practice

Sleep.

I was up at 6, then ensconced in my horrid, airless, windowless underground cave at the Guildhall from 8.15am to 6.15pm. Then the end of London Bridge was closed and it took 40 minutes to drive from the Barbican to the Elephant .

I have a BKA Trustees' meeting tomorrow and have only just finished getting half-ready for it - the rest will have to be done in the morning.

I'm absolutely done in.

'Night all.

Pub

Could have been worse, you could have been on a train heading north yesterday, delays of around 4hrs on the one Bassoonista and I came back on. Luckily for us the delays had been before we got on the train, still had about an hours wait on the train before it left and had to stand all the way from Stevenage to Doncaster.....


Anyway, when I log off here, I might get another coffee and just chill out, should have band practice later, not sure how I'll get on tonight

English Work.

Then to ring a teacher for lessons.

Go to bed.

Another huge and tiring day today (the sixth such in a row) and tomorrow I have to drive to Birmingham and back to examine some students there taking their Kodaly Elementary Level exam (which isn't particularly 'elementary'..).

, having been there...

watch Great British Railway Journeys on BBC4

make coffee

Have a little walk over to the bakers. I've injured my hip and standing is so much more comfortable than sitting so I'm going to force myself to go out in the rain!

Hope you feel better soon Floss

Coursework for me Then clari practice

See if there are any euros left in the bank.

Make dinner. Just for me! when I've finished thissss niice lglglass of ........ !

Ditto...but thankfully only half a day tomorrow

Stretch some paper. Think I'm going to paint an owl

Teach.

I'm not sure I want to do it anymore.

Bag

Oh Bag I know I don't want to do my work anymore.............


I've got coursework to do then clari practice

....Well, I'm not sure. ....That's why I'm sitting here.

I have a cup of tea waiting for me in the pot, and while I drink it I could do some ironing , or try out some new music for pupils next week (slightly less ), or read the gardening section of the paper (not sure because of the soggy ground and delightful weather ), or water the lettuce growing in the old washing up bowl in the greenhouse , or be utterly lazy and read the nice new Sharpe novel that's winking at me !

Cut up little bits of card and write things on them and put them in little plastic boxes. The things some teachers do!

do the coursework that should have been done before the clari practice was done..........

Put my paws up for the evening.

Today was hard graft featuring a couple of "jugular jobs" - y'know, where they jus' stick in a straw and suuuuck..... That said the majority were fab but my tinnitus is whistling away nicely right now so tis time to stop.

Slightly-Weary-Bag x

Collapse in a heap. Out at 8.30 this morning for beginners' orchstra with sax. Followed at 10.30 by main orchestra with cello. Only two of us there this morning (two are on holiday and two are awol ). Finishes at 1.30 (we do have a tea break ). I had to sight read my way thorugh an Indiana Jones film score... with significant cello solos . We also worked on the last movement of Beethoven's 5th and several other items - knackered at the end of that.

So... drove home, quick lunch and back out at 3.20 to head back to Chester for my first tutored string quartet session at 4

So... adding it all up, I've had 3.5 hours on cello and 1.25 hours on sax today

EDIT: fix typos - sigh
