I think I've found my love for flute again!

Haha, just recorded myself on tape, and was using a used tape which contained me singing to ABBA when I was about 7..*cringe*

Oh and someone sent me a really funny letter smile.gif

Yay Nicki!

I remember a hideous kareoke moment when I was about 9, on a school trip in Bournemouth - singing Super Trouper and I only knew the chorus! And it was filmed, and later shown in assembly!

Shocking. tongue.gif

Congrats to your daughter!!!!!

I had an hour's lie-in as child no. 1 and 2 were allowed to go into school 1 hour later due to tiredness as they are in the middle of Bugsy Malone week!!!!!!
Today, I only had my younger pupils as the others were on a secondary school taster day.... but they were all lovely today....all of them did well and my 6 year old.... well, she is coming on SOOOOO well. Her lessons are such fun!!!
Then I found out I've got a new little pupil for next term....
So 3 things made me happy today .


Yesterday I found out a pupil who was going to give up when she changes school, isn't!!!!!! She's going to come to me privately!!!!

Something I never expected to apply for.
However, now i am so excited but so scared at the same time biggrin.gif

Today what made me happy... was meeting the other leaders as a group and learning new games for it smile.gif and the 'trust walk' we did along with the reflection smile.gif

Then the gym was a laugh again biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Finally "clear" stage 32 in one of the very silly games on my mobile. It took me about 15 minutes to whisk through stages 1-31 and then I got stuck at stage 32 for like the past 6 months. Ok, I didn't play it that often (only as a last resort when there wasn't anything else to do on the tube), but still... woot.gif

Showing off alert!!!! Sorry, but I'm a bit chuffed and had to share it....

Had a great time at my recital today.
I survived a fit of the wobblies when, four songs into the show the vicar of the church interrupted to inform me that I was being videoed for the Leytonstone Festival DVD......
And, for the first time ever, I got asked for an autograph at the end of the performance!

Big thank you to Jo.Clarinet, who put me in touch with the church in the first place and who very kindly acted as page turner too biggrin.gif

Yesterday really, but still making me happy today - A friend collected his violin from the luthiers a day after his birthday when he thought he'd never get it fixed after an accident. And it still has the same wonderful, unique sound and the repairs are hardly noticable biggrin.gif
