Finishing off the reed I was making. I think it's just about ready! And looking all pretty with its multi-coloured thread

Sleeping. I went to bed at 8:30 with a paint fume fuelled headache - and now I can't sleep. I'm considering having breakfast, then applying for a few jobs, then going back to bed.

Sorting out the tenth request for a change of lesson time in the one and a bit weeks left before our exam session. And the awful thing is they all have genuine reasons. And expect when I sign off there will be an eleventh message waiting for me and if so I shall come back and migrate to the screaming thread.

Making flatbread and a curry to go with it

Up at stupid o'clock in a last attempt to get 8!@@$? tickets for the Olympics. I hate feeling that I'm supporting this particular ticketing system, but I know how very much the boys would love to be there. Anyway, I've had a go, got an application in and that's it

Composing and then deleting a sacking email. I am such a wuss.

I think I'd be the same

Watching tennis.

watching the cat pretend to be a wild animal in the garden

Awwww I do love hearing about your cat, corenfa!

Me: trying to get my mouth around Polish vowels for a song that I stupidly agreed to sing in Polish for next Friday

LOL thanks I'll let her know she has a fan...

Hmm, I always thought Polish had very few vowels all the best for your song.

That, indeed, is the problem

Watching Morrissey at Glastonbury on iplayer.
Going now to find the 'what are you going to do ...?' thread - coz I'm going to watch it again!

Hearing Red Priest live.

absolute knock-out.

Not seen them for a while (and not since they changed their keyboardist). Must be rectified sometime

Ditto! Although somehow, strangely, Maggie and I missed each other despite apparently sitting near each other - perhaps we were in parallel universes... ...

New keyboardist FAB, Baz - as cool and as quirky as the rest of them .

They were, as ever, all just stunning. Piers is SUCH a lovely guy and Bagpuss was sooooo lucky that he was her one and only recorder teacher *sigh*. Sadly Bag had to miss the gig because of a streaming cold .

First time I've heard them live - totally brilliant.

Cyrilla and I somehow managed to avoid bumping into each other !

(oh - sorry C! see you beat me to that!)

Sleeping!

Oh good

Went to daughter's school concert, she sang well, and then said goodbye to all her teachers and friends as she leaves the school tonight. On to secondary school in September, and off to grandparents for a month tomorrow. I shall miss her!

Awww! bitter sweet!

Me -- drooling over hand-made buttons again.

Definately!! Just hoping their plane is going to be able to get to Gib as it's a thick sea fog here this morning, although it's better than it was....due in 10 mins otherwise it's a coach to malaga airport. She's going camping for 3 weeks with her grandparents in a field in the IOM - no facilities, but they have a fire gonig all the time to cook on etc. Lots and lots of fun!

Buttons....mmmmmmm

Sleeping!

After a month of no days off at all, both the teaching commitments I had today suddenly cancelled at the last minute - so I slept for 10 hours and am now feeling slightly more human and with much lighter spirits than previously.

So...now to plan Saturday's lessons (two very big days coming up) and then I'm going to treat myself to a bit of tennis-watching.

eating fruit salad

You're really getting into your fruit salad these days!

It's all gone now... maybe I'll make another next week.

Walking my younger son to school. Trying to chill before driving to Cambridge.

writing an essay I still haven't finished... I shouldn't be on here.... I shouldn't be on here .....

Having an incredibly lazy day - but, after a month with no days off (except for the very unexpected one last Thursday), I reckon I deserved it!!!

Sadly, it's back to the Big Grindstone tomorrow...

Trying to get rid of the rest of my family so that I can have most of the weekend to myself! They're supposed to be heading off to our local music festival. They set the tents up last night and it starts properly today. I think the fact that it keeps raining is dampening my husband's enthusiasm slightly ....

Just noticed the rain had (temporarily) stopped so a quick dash to the post.

Been to Speech today. Only 1 1/2 hours and then another hour trying to get my daughter to stop saying goodbye to her friends.
I had her for one moment then very carelessly carried on with the conversation I was having with another parent and she escaped!

Reading someone's facebook wall and not sure if I should feel sad for the person for what I saw/read or have a laugh about it! hmmm...I'll go with the laugh! ...but still think it is really sad

eating cherries

clari practice, and before that, some work on an assignment (also watching the storm)

Throwing away unwanted items mainly junk and clearing my mail box of mails that would never be read again.

I was doing some DSLR photography practice in my nan's garden, as well getting recipes of the internet

Loz xx

Finishing my first assignment for my new course

Sax and clarinet practice.

Talking to the cat

Worrying about dysfunctional first octave key.

Need to to be functional on Saturday.

finishing assignment 2 for my course, clari practice for band on Thursday, and cleaning my cornet

Watching the Last Night of the Proms on I-player - we all agree it was one of the best we've ever seen, and Lang Lang was totally awesome

feeding paper into a scanner and punching numbers into a computer.

Bored, bored, bored

Going to do some forumite spotting on iPlayer later on...

Park was excellent

packing for uni :S procrastinating was the easier option!

Looking at the washing up feeling disheartened...

Ordering a curry to refuel after a 6 mile walk this evening. As I did a 5 mile one yesterday afternoon I feel I deserve it.

Stuffing 400 envelopes

Feeding the birds and taking photos of my garden in the snow (which look very much like all the photos of my garden I take every time it snows, but I love them anyway )
