Playing the Godard Valse and thinking 'No, I really don't like this piece'.

they just sung happy birthday to Usain Bolt

Watching the Proms on BBC4 with the great Daniel Barenboim conducting.

Watching T.V.

Wondering when the cricket squad list for tommorow's match will be e-miled. Do hurry up, I want to know who I have the joy of playing with.

Erm, filling up wine glasses...

I'm afraid it's unrepeatable.

Filling in forms.

Discussing with Signor Dante-in-c the logistics of swapping my teaching room and the sitting room over before my new private teaching starts on Monday 7 September. The painting has been done, and he's laying the floor at the moment. The shelves are coming next Friday; the curtains today, I hope.

Unpacking.

Cooking the dogs' dinner.

At this time of day?

Gourmet food takes time She must love her dog very much!

That and she is in France!

Putting on a load of laundry.

Straining my brain cells reading random bars in 4 sharps I really do feel like going to the pub now... must... resist

Making notes for a job application.

Well, cooking early because afterwards it's too hot to do any cooking.
Recipe for gourmet dogs:

Half a packet of "viande pour animaux" sold in local supermarket (tripe, sausages (2) bits of porc, bits of beef).
Anything the humans haven't eaten - particularly bits of salad, ham, chicken and cheese.
Stale croissants and or stale bread cut into small pieces.
Anything the cats haven't eaten - tinned food considered by cats to be too cheap, too old or just too boring.
Add water and a sprinking of Viandox (gravy mixture)
Boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be careful before turning on the heat to remove the cadging dog who wants his dinner now and the cat who has perversely decided it wants the old tin of cat food after all.
Remember to turn on the extractor fan because although the dogs are drooling, it smells - well like the dogs' dinner.
Leave to cool until the evening. Serve when dogs are indicating it is time you started doing something with their bowls and threatening to dig up your favourite plants if you don't.

Good luck.

Looking up various things for my Mum on t'internet.

Before that it was making pretty pictures on piece a maths software (so quite complicated equations!). Then transferring them to Paint, and putting pretty colours in the white sections. *is a young child at heart*

Waiting for the library to open, and chatting to a fellow ex-Off Metice* employee outside (17 of us have been fired since the beginning of this year).

Just popped out to Kall-Kwik to photocopy a letter from Jobcentre Plus.

Writing a Very Long Letter. In these days of e-mails, I haven't hand-written a letter (especially a long one) for years, and my hand is killing me!!

Have just been searching the car parking pages to find somewhere cheaper than I usually park in Cardiff, where I'm going tomorrow. Found some lovely spelling errors on the page so I used the contact facility to tell them about them!!! Will be interested to see if they change them.

Filling in an application form for Devon SRP's playing day with Andrew Collis.

Drinking coffee having let the dogs out.



Now, do I go back to bed for half-an-hour (good book) or do I have my shower???

If it's a good book, you won't want to leave it after half-an-hour, so you're probably better off going for your shower

I was knocking a glass of water over and soaking all the things on my beside table
