aw Sorry Flossie...

Shouting " GEET IN!!!" whilst clapping at my TV

Playing Bioshock... hadn't played any games in ages!

Xmas shopping!

Having a Chinese take away

Singing at the top of my lungs to Stevie Nicks' live version of Gold Dust Woman I also rather enjoyed the fact that my uncle then leapt into the room and air guitar-ed to the solo

Going through my "Personal" email folder, to see if I kept a record of my password for Blues Match - and to take note of the various job boards I've signed up to, some possibly more than once , and to see whether I need to add some more details to my online profiles...

Checking the school website. It's not cancelled

I was doing much the same as you. I'm spending the day indoors. I'd rather be out teaching

Down loading some Christmas present CD's on to my iTunes library so I can play them on iPod in the car, and also whilst I am away in Far East.
Theres a 2 CD Arvo Part set, and that well known bargain basement 5 CD set from Emma Johnson

Clearing the snow and ice from in front of our house. We're right on the pavement, and just at the bottom of a hill, and when it's icy people tend to gather speed as they walk down - by the time they get to our house they going faster than they want to, so an ice-free patch gives them a chance to slow down

Trying to get some sleep.

Sleeping off yesterday's eight-hour journey home.

Making soup for the blokes that are digging up our road. I'd far rather be inside cooking than outside digging in this weather.

Playing through Schumann's Traumerei at a snail's pace for sight reading practice...

Piano lesson. First one since before Christmas. Gripping onto walls to avoid slipping on the icy compacted snow but I just HAD to get there.

Eating a very yummy curry. One advantage of being home could prepare dinner at lunchtime and allow it to marinade then cook for hours.

I was reading the newspaper.

That is/used to be set for Grade 7 - more for the challenge in playing emotionally and expressively than any real technical difficulty.

It's a lovely piece though...I've been playing through most of the Kinderszenen pieces again recently, and it's one of my favourites.

Have you been playing any of the others?

Watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Danny Elfman is a great composer

Having a nice hot bath to warm up after some snow shifting. Who needs the gym when you can work out with a shovel!

Persuading 3 yer old granddaughter that she was going to bed whether it's boring or not.

*imagines the scene*

I'm playing the first one (Von fremden..) at the moment and almost have that nailed

I've had a little bash through some of the others but not too serious yet - the last thing I need is yet more backlog, although I will tackle the Traumerei once I've finished the Chopin "Raindrop" Prelude (missypiano's fault - I *must* learn that now) You're right though, The Kinderszenen is a lovely collection, glad I bought it!

Funny how my recent repertoire expansions have been the fault of other forum members... namely Tom Piano, missypiano and DaisyChain. I'm sure my teacher thinks I have ADHD now seeing as I'm flitting from one piece to another all the time!

Watching Dancing on Ice - the Skate-Off.

Watching, for the first (and last...) time, Wallander.

Surfing facebook.

I think I'm becoming an addict.

Just begun Unit 8 of my OU Java course. The official calendar says we don't need to start Unit 8 until Saturday, but we have a tutorial that day and I'm determined to get ahead, seeing as at the last one the tutor got me rattled by assuming we'd all done Unit 5 even though that was ahead of the calendar...

Reading the paper, eating grapes and thinking 'Right, I will do some chemistry homework now, not go on the forums...'

Having some yummy stew for dinner

Filing my Tax Return online.

phew

Typing up a list of all the recruitment consultancies and job boards I'm registered with.

farmville. again.

I'm still resisting the charms of Farmville...

I've just had breakfast. By way of a change, it was Coco Pops

Reading

having dinner

Looking on the Internet for a 'new' car. Ours has died

Watching Survivors

Wow Cambiata - that's amazing!


I was drinking wine and discussing inappropriate things with the girls

Filling in a blood donor health questionnaire - 24th donation today, haemoglobin levels permitting.

Ironing.

Sorting out who's in school/college and who's at home !?!

Infant's open
Junior's open
Senior school closed
College open

I worlk in the Juniors, so I'll still be going in soon.

Spending 18 hours unconscious...

Wow!

I love doing family history research and am lucky enough to've been able to go to the Cathedral here and look at some of the original registers and documents for the Kentish part. I've been doing on-line stuff too, but find some of the IGI stuff hilarious. I suddenly found once that I was related to Henry VIII through his wife Jane Austen And they're not always too picky about noting whether people died, so it's possible to find that the person one thought was one's great-great-great grandfather actually died when he was 6 And it's soooooooo frustrating when a trail just stops


Before I logged on I was slipping and sliding my way down the road to see some friends

Walking home after having my teaching day aborted

I was eating lunch.

Clearing snow from the car

Opening my favourite playlist

Clearing and gritting paths for customers to come and view the buildings. Pity there are no customers.............

Just back from my blood donation, and feeling smug because I overheard one of the donors saying what a "nightmare" it was finding somewhere to donate with parking facilities. I had travelled there by bike so my red stuff was all nice and oxygenated. Enjoy the freedom of a car, hee hee.

Having a fight with a photocopier
