Suddenly it appears to be half past 9. What happened to the last hour????

Almost makes one fear for the Peking Ducks!

They're here!! They're here!! They're here!!

Facebook.

What do all these applications do? How are my settings set? What does this do? What does that do? What does anything do?

Whats the speed of dark?

I once knew someone who thought it was a million times the speed of light.

how did he or she work that out?

Dark is an illusion.

I've come back from choir practice with Psalm 119 stuck in my head!

I'm completely fluent in Franglais, as of today.

I am beginning to dislike my composition i have spent that long on it

Home made yogurt tastes much, much better than any of the bought ones.

I hate writing essays! I don't care whether or not Cicero's arguments may or may not have been convincing!!

I want to go to bed!!!!

I know the feeling! I'm fluent in Spangles. Sadly my oral exam today is in Spanish!

Good luck for that.

*is happy because it's sunny*

ALL of it ??

Preach it, sister!


Well, verses 1-6. The chant has been at large in my head all day. The whole psalm would be impressive. The first 6 verses over and over again is just annoying!

agreed.

Ooh dear! Just remembered about the hamster.

She was left in the office/organ room in the pitch dark this evening because sonny Jim had to have his trumpet lesson in a different room, as I was teaching in the usual room. So as she is of very nervous disposition, I thought that 2 trumpets blasting away about 6 feet from her cage might upset her just a bit.

But I forgot I moved her! I don't think she's very pleased with me now.

My computer is back

It's still not running perfectly, and there's things I need to do to it (like work out why the word processor has ceased working), but at least I can answer emails/PMs and the like again...

Welcome back, Barry!


Hmm... I left school today, and it feels very odd. However, that's over-ruled by the feelings of panic over my music exam, which is tomorrow.

Good luck Flossy, I'm sure you'll do well in your music exam Wow, you've left school - that's great!!!



My random thought - when did Royal Mail stop making collections on a Bank Holiday... I don't remember that being announced

Sunday and Bank Holiday collections stopped in late October 2007. They put stickers on the post boxes that used to have those collections about six weeks beforehand, where I live.

I remember the Sunday collections being stopped, but I didn't realise it applied to Bank Holidays as well

Yesterday, today, tomorrow...three days in a row with no forum birthdays...

Every time I go into Leeds city centre, the skyline has changed... they've either knocked another building down or put another one up... seemingly overnight

Disasterous driving lesson... I wouldn't care if I never had to get behind the wheel again. Gah.

Now, if I were to do a flute solo at a forum do, I'd really like to play a piece called 'Fruity Flute' by Reg Wale. Was the theme tune to '70s/'80s cookery programme 'Farmhouse Kitchen'. Haven't got, and can't find the sheet music though...

suddenly you realise you should have got rid of a problem ages ago - and what joy when you do!!

I was at a party last night, at a house where opening the bathroom door resulted in something bleeping. Is such a device commonplace?

How weird, but I guess its so everyone in the house knows someone has gone in there!. Maybe there isn't a lock on the door! Its the sort of thing they do in Harrogate area (where people fetch fish and chips in a violin case). I know , I lived there!

I know JUST how you feel

Sting is doing a book signing in Manchester on June 17th!!!!!!!

However I cant go.... it is a college day

A thought - can someone go to Manchester to get a book signed for you? Maybe the next best thing?...

I may have to send my Mum

In my most bizarre evening yesterday, I got a Christian book signed by an author I'd never heard of. It was an interesting souvenir of an unconventional night on the town, nonetheless!

orchestral concert tonight!




How many know that Sir Henry Wood had his batons made in Norfolk? Wonder if they still make them here. I can get a replacement..

I could have written that for you

I just got tickets to see the Kaiser Chiefs on Wednesday!
They're playing in a tiny hall in my town,
It's been sold out for ages and ages, but my mum's friend now can't go and so gave me her tickets...

So excited!

I want to sleep before the exam tomorrow.
but I can't. beccause my brain is STUPID
I've cleaned my room and packed.. so I shouldn't feel unprepared or anything. I shouldn#t feel the need to rush.

however my mind keep boogling

I didn't really know it was possible to miss someone so much.

Rachel- Wow! They're coming to Strathpeffer soon but I wasn't quick enough to get tickets.
BabyBanana - Good luck.

1. Setting fire to your toast isn't good

2. Exam..

I am doing G5 theory in June. I had a weird dream about the exam last night - I got there and decided to do the 'easy' bits first (i.e. leave the composition until last, because that's the bit I'm least sure about!) Only it turned out it was asking about things that I didn't know anything about. It had a row of notes on a single line, i.e. just a rhythm, and I had to classify various bits of it as K, S, M or N (whatever they are). But also say whether they were push or pull!

Despite this confusing me no end, having no idea what it meant, I did read the top of the question very thoroughly, and found some of the answers in there (an M classification was a Push, for example).

I then searched the paper to find the composition question - which was obviously now the easy bit - but it wasn't there!

What a weird thing to dream about. Perhaps that's telling me to do some more practising, particularly on that composition bit...am committing to doing one per night from now on, anyway!

over 10,000 posts...

oh dear...

Wow!

yep, that sums it up in a smiley...

Some people have too much time! You've been here, what, 6 months longer than I have?

All those CISD posts build up you know...

True - I've not been in there much lately. Something to do with, oh, what was it now? Starts with E, I'm sure it does!
