Fab news, DC! xxx *hugs*
Thank you all very much. It's been a tough year for him (and my twin sister) but they can now look forward to booking a holiday and putting their house on the market.
He needs to be checked every four months, so he's not completely out of the woods, but he's free of cancer at the moment, which is great!

Getting to tell all mu music teachers that i got a distinction in my grade 4 piano exam
Early morning sun + fog + countryside = pretty
A walk in the woods this morning - it was still misty, some bits were still frosty, and I saw two fawns bouncing about the place. I got mud all the way up to my knees, my walking boots became non-waterproof and I ache now, but it was worth it. (having my "summer holiday" from studying in autumn is great!)

Fab band rehearsal tonight, lots of sight reading and also a mini Double Bass lesson, and booked some flute lessons for after christmas too.
Going with my youngest niece to her RDA session this morning.
Hahahaha!
Was just browsing recorder music on eBay. One of the two managers who works here wandered past.
"What are you shopping for?"
"Oh, just music"
"Recorder music? You're worse than my wife"
"Mmmm, I brought home my ninth instrument at the weekend"
"Nine recorders?!"
Cue discussion of recorder sizing and pitches. Nary a mention of browsing music during working hours
I suspect everybody else in the office has now confirmed my insanity
This manager sings in a choir, his wife plays the cello and she also joined the SRP where I used to go (I keep having OU stuff on Saturdays which clash with SRP!) - we overlapped for a few sessions though. He was telling me earlier this week that she asked if she could go on a recorder weekend course (he said that was fine, he gets a weekend of feet up watching telly!)

With much patience today, we have managed at last to teach our one year old grandson how to blow his nose .
Now all we have to do is get him to wait until a tissue is in front of his nose before he does the blowing

Then wait for him to start blowing raspberries to fool you he's blowing...or is it just my nephew that finds that very funny?
Another great band rehearsal tonight....and fun on the bass. Managed to fumble and work out the first 4 lines of a bass part, and was hitting octaves!! Great fun!
Great fun!

I made a big mistake with my son on this one! I got into the habit of holding the tissue to his nose and saying, "Blow". This was all great until his second birthday party, when the customary blowing out of cake candles was required. Yes, you've guessed, I said, "Blow"....

Hmmm - infant nose-blowing
I hear a reception class read at the local primary and the snuffles have started. Last week I was faced with having to put up with a child with a very runny nose or producing the tissue and helping with blowing - lovely choice
Well done Fran*Piano!!
I've learnt my German controlled assessment thingy.
Ooh, I hate those! We had one last week, hopefully there won't be another one for a while.
Now completed
I also have two new bassoon reeds - with muliticoloured string

I had a friend around for tea
My pupil who got a new clarinet with the aid of a grant she had to audition with, brought the new clari to the lesson
I have some who looks after the kids while I teach 2 nights a week and she has only been doing this for a couple of weeks- well- she makes tea for us all while I teach... so food is prepared
It makes such a difference to my life......

And my happy for today - I met the new next-door neighbour (who'd moved in on Tuesday):
NNDN: I heard you playing the clarinet yesterday. I went outside to see where the music was coming from, and saw you through the window. Wow, you CAN play, can't you?
Me: Thank you
Got past the beginner stage now!
