I adore St Bernards! A friend of mine has one called Woody who is the most adorable thing I have ever met.


Yay Well done. Which of your dogs was it?

Of all the adorable things you've met...

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww, I love St Bernards! The person who we got our kittens from have a number of dogs, including a HUGE St Bernard, he slobbers all over the place, and he could probably fit my head between his jaws. We were a bit worried about him with tiny weeny kittens toddling about, but he was scared of them! Apparently they would waddle up to say hello, and he would bolt off in the other direction whimpering

I love German Shephards too. Huskies, German Shephards and St Bernards are my ultimate three favourite dogs EVER! They're so big and wuffly

I can't wait till I'm allowed a dog, I'm going to get one as soon as I've got my own house. I've never had one, because my parents work all day, we don't really have anywhere to walk them, and our house is too small. Oh well, one day...

I always wanted a St Bernard - until I realised they only live about 5 to 8 years.

Second only to you, of course.


I know. Life expectancy decreases as size increases in dogs.

We used to have St Bernard dogs. One of ours reached the age of ten. The other didn't make it beyond two because he had an accident and had to be put to sleep. Both lovely dogs though, if a bit slobbery.

I adore German Shepherds, especially the longer haired ones.........they remind me of wolves.

We need a dog thread! I'll start one now and then we can use this one for being happy again.

Sunshine!!!! gardening and pretty flowers and happy kids

AND a successful practice session tonight

I wonder if my recorders would prefer walnut, olive or a strange mix of almond and grape oil... hmm

EDIT: oops, that was meant to be in Random thoughts and comments.

Beg 'parding? Are you stir frying them with beanshoots or something? That's no way to treat a treasured instrument!

No more students until September 23rd!! Schools break up for Summer really early here in Turkey! (Coz it's so hot.)

Finished PGCE, got a flat, got a job, but now have nothing to do... woo.

Congratulations.

Enjoy the lull before the storm.

Congrats!

And what andante said...enjoy the lull!!!

A spontaneous phonecall... "I don't have long, but just wanted to tell you that I love you..."

Enjoy the break...

My youngest croaking in the kitchen, " Mummy, I am losing my voice". Then hearing her upstairs getting ready for bed, singing at the top of her voice.

My daughter jumping up for a cuddle when I got back from my math exam.

Teaching lovely children this morning, teaching a lovely student this afternoon who is making huge progress, and teaching a lovely group this evening...and every session included making beautiful music, from 'See-Saw' to a Romanian Canon in the Dorian mode!

A lovely day in London.

Good. Wondered where you'd been.

Listening to some lovely music and eating good food in good company!

Anniversary

6th wedding anniversary, but we got married on the day we'd been together 10 years, so it is also 16th anniversary at the same time! Although himself left for work at about 5.30 this morning, so I haven't seen him...but I have a silly present for him when I get home

Sounds good : were you a-concerting?

Happy anniversary Maizie!

Yes....I went to an organ recital.

YOu do like your organs don't you Daisy??

Happy Anniversary Maizie.

Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Maizie

Cool : haven't been to one of those since maggiemay's recital over a year ago...

PM with Carol

She is extremely entertaining

Oi, you two!
Cut it out!

That's one way to put it. Depends on what you consider 'entertainment'.

Hmm... I fear you may be dropping off the bottom of my "people to PM" list

Mission accomplished.

Your loss

What's made me smile today? Reading through some of bernie's historical threads. EPIC!

Another enjoyable play morning with Oldnotes

Physics is finished...forever!



Yes, I know I'm going to have to do some next year, but that's physics in disguise as maths, so it's ok.

How did it go, Sarah? (Though you don't sound as if you care, as long as it's gone! )

Is it just the Maths now?

This morning, having a day with nothing to do made me happy. Now, though, I'm not sure. I'm wondering if there was any point in me getting up!

Dreadfully, but I don't really care. Assuming I didn't completely fail the other two exams last week, I already had enough marks for a B and only need around 30% for an A overall. I'll be extremely surprised if I get more than a C for this one.



Nope, M3 tomorrow morning and two chemistry exams on Thursday... then I can concentrate on STEP for next week.

Time to learn M3 me thinks... (I'm procrastinating on the forums as usual )

It will all be over in 8 days!

Oh how lovely. What did you play?
Bev

Today I realised that grade 6 comes after grade 5. And grade 6 is one of the higher grades, and grade 6 is nearly grade 7 which is nearly grade 8!

I was having such a good day until my Dad got home and my brothers started making personal attacks on me.

Jacob.

That isn't very nice of them, Jacob.

I had a carvery And went to the gym for two hours. Unfortunately all the calories I so carefully burned were put back on again...

Me too, they are GREAT!

Quite a variety actually A Charles Lloyd suite that Oldnotes had picked up. - rather nice with some lovely low expressive bits - (piu sonorite it says in one part - how do I put the accent on the e??)

And a variety of other shorter pieces. We are working on putting together a repertoire that we can churn out to an audience.
