Have supper - free range chicken, (well I hope it was) 4 veg, glass of rosé

Probably have supper - my brother is cooking though, so it could be interesting...

Going to the pub for a cheeky few I'm quite happy with what I've got done today musically so time to reward myself!

I'm going to unpack after our lovely weekend away. So sad to be back.

...but you've got a fun weekend coming up next weekend too

Glad you both had fun this weekend

I really hate to admit this... in public...



on an open forum...




... probably in front of children here too.....






.... but today when I sign off here.... I am going....


















CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

^

I am going to cook supper

I wouldn't be too ashamed, my friend started in August!

Paint my toenails.

I did that earlier. I can't stand toenails, and they look so much better now I've painted them!

Do my French homework.
And geography homework
And music homework /

All of which are due in tomorrow

I'm so bad at organising myself. Ohhhh dearrrrrrrrr. I need a big kick up the backside.

WHACK. Hopefully that outta do it.

Rather that than go into the shops on Christmas Eve, madly rushing around!

Print Chemistry homework, then go to bed. *yawns*

Going to get my stitches taken out at the surgeon's office (eek) - not looking forward to that and I predict that he will prescribe a large dose of something soothing to make up for it.

By him, I mean me of course. And by 'large dose of something soothing' I obviously mean 'big slice of cake and a frothy cup of coffee on a terrace by the river'. But the idea is the same.

Lottie - I feel sick at how organised you are... the christmas market stalls have begun setting up in certain parts of the town here and I'm feeling that 'I'm not organised enough' panic setting in...

Rosfrog - you remind me of how, after a visit to the dentist, I always have to cross the road to the cake shop and buy a doughnut.

Even after a polish. Indecent really.

Good luck with the stitches - hope they are painless.

But you see Maggiemay - look at it this way.

If we didn't buy cake after a visit to the dentist, then they wouldn't have anything to do and they would go out of business. Do you want a homeless dentist's family eating out of bins on your conscience ? I don't.

We're martyrs, really....

Thanks for the good wishes!

I'm going to take the dogs for a walk and then get on with some serious piano practise. Lesson is two days earler this week so I feel I need to do a week's practise in 5 days!

Log off this computer, move upstairs, start up another computer, and do some studying.

Wii Fit afternoon with a mate!

Go home from work!

Finish writing my paragraph in my English essay: 'To what extent is the creature's behaviour determined by Frankenstein? Who is the most monstrous?'

Give the clarinet some serious exercise!

Put on my outdoor shoes and coat, and go round the corner for an exhibition preview: work by four tapestry artists in the Picturehouse café-bar. This is the first time I've been back to the Picturehouse since the night of the ill-fated Aida transmission.

What sort of tapestry are they doing?

Give Mrs S a lift to the dentist (mug up on theory terms in the waiting room), call at the poultry feed place to get some layers pellets, go over to the supermarket for a few vitals, then home for lunch. Then prepare for theory exam later this afternoon.

And today is supposed to be a day off!

Make a packed lunch, then hang up the washing. I'd go on, but it's all equally dull.

Teach four hours straight with no break, then have a half hour break and teach another four hours straight. This evening is Kitchen Session with some musicians and dancers - we're going to fling oot some jigs and reels and have a ceilidh in the Kitchen.

Teaching, then being taught ('cello)...

Here's info about two of the artists:
Jilly Edwards
Anne Jackson

Leave the office and go and visit my father in Keighley.

Go to a youth drama rehearsal and dance.

Eat dinner, and then go swimming.

Sleep at some point!

Embark on a busy day teaching...

Practise my clarinet

Must update learning log. Must update learning log. Must update learning log. Must update learning log. Must update learning log!!!! (note to self )

Start some serious study for grade 6 theory.

Be creative and make some Christmas cards before teaching this evening.

Bx

Going to log off in just a minute, and drive over M62 to home.

More piano practise.

lesson

Ring a friend to discuss A Big Meeting on Sunday and to help plan a Kodály course at Birmingham Conservatoire in February - maybe catch up with some lesson plans - then tootle a bit on some recorders of various dimensions..

Go home, make myself presentable then head out with a few friends so we can stuff our faces with top notch Italian food

Head off to sleep...

Forum will be a barry-clari free zone for a little while. See you all soon!

Me too.Night night Barry,


Night night Forum

Go to bed

Sleepy sleep
Ahh, I'm looking forward to it already..

Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite, sweet dreams, God bless, see you in the morning
Our parents used to say a mixture of those every night when they put us to bed

"Try not to worry about the killer clown in the wardrobe or the monster under your bed.... Sweet dreams!"
