Watching The Gondoliers on Sky Arts 2 channel (245)

watching the comedy tribute on BBC2

Searching the WWW for a new violin teacher.

looking at the assignment on my desk that needs finishing, looking at my lesson notebook telling me needs doing today, and waiting patiently for a webpage of holiday cottages to load.

Watching something on Murdoch 1 about an obese bloke from Yorkshire who has a lovely compact little tanned upright piano. With some easy piano music on the stand, meaning that it's used and not left as a piece of furniture!

at work, yawning and about to be beseiged by people who just want to pay their Council Tax!

Waiting for 9am (a "reasonable time") so I can play my clarinet.

I've paid mine online for years now. Much easier - as with all of my accounts.


Listening to Alan Stivell's 'Sword dance' from the Brian Boru album.

Sat in my conservatory. It's bright, warm, and I don't need the heater on. Sophie is with me and the CD is playing Weber's Piano Concerto no1. The coffee is chocolate roast.

Puts us cashiers out of work though.....

having lunch now then back out to collect more money shame I don't get to keep it

Watching darts. But not through my own choice I have to say. Bobby George has no idea how stupid he looks with all that chavvish jewellery. he really thinks he's Liberace or Elton John!!!

Would rather watch paint dry


I'm trying to decipher some rhythms in a piece.

It's called being married. She has to put up with my classical CDs and radio 3 when I'm driving

now I'm watching the equally as bad One Born Every Minute, listening to my wife complaining she wishes she could have a baby - well some of these expectant mums on here must surely have Equity cards.

about to depart for the lovely town of Masham to take money off the good townsfolk!

Trying to decide what to do with my day.

It's the only day this week that I have to myself and my to-do list would last until Sunday if I worked solidly at it.

So I'm trying to prioritise.

Writing out the key signatures of Bmin and Gmin repeatedly to learn them.

I've done Emin. I call that one Tracey.

Wrapping two 1st birthday presents. Wish I was wrapping them for my own kids, that will never ever happen.

Listening to the complete 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' by Richard Strauss. It's a great piece for banishing a bit of angsty anger, more so than Mars from the planets Suite, and better by far than listening to Kurt Cobain or the latest East London 'grimesta' rapper.

She's watching darts again. I can now feel my head start to go.

Knitting, listening to Elgar, drinking mint tea.

Waiting for the train home at Kingston station.

Talking to the ever wonderful Lottie on fb...

Laughing/cringing at the latest news of Felicity...

(Don't like the new voice for Mr Black though..)

Waiting for the oven to heat up and depressing myself hugely with my 2012 budget overhall!!!




I hasten to add, though, that the two aren't connected!

LOVE it!! Didn't realise there was two new ones in November and December!!

watching a Top Gear challenges DVD, light relief

Roasting some more vegetables.

Travelling on bus 50.

I imagine you constantly having a tray of vegetables roasting in the oven.... and it makes me sooooo hungry normally!! But I just had roasted vegetables with steak for dinner so i'm not so jealous today!!

I ate the last of the last batch today. Been trying to get my 5 a day since Christmas, and so far have managed every day.

Well done!! Im hopeless at managing my 5 a day, although I do love veg and fruit... Need to eat more of it!!
Roasted root veg are my absolute favourites though... mmmmm

Mine too. Have just had roasted carrots, shallots and garlic with slow-roasted lamb. mmmmmmm

mmmmm... We totally need a thread to complement the healthy eating one where we just drool over tasty food...

Better if we're drooling over *healthy* tasty food Hopefully roasted root vegetables, if done with not too much olive oil (as opposed to goose fat, which is what we had at Christmas), fit the bill.

Very true!! And roasted veg I think fits the bill perfectly!!

I was doing just that (minus the mint tea) earlier today! What a coincidence...

Currently procrastinating, as usual - I should be practising the baboon.

Printing off manuscript paper for BB's first proper bassoon lesson tomorrow. Whilst, more importantly, watching Sherlock!

Ha... I reading the end of Wuthering Heights in between internet activity!

Just watched this - amazing and thought-provoking and moving, all at the same time...

hoping for good news

Thinking about food. Exercising just makes me want to eat!

Just off to choral soc!

Feeling pretty miserable. I've los quite a bit of sleep over the last couple of days due to hip pain and even tramadol isn't touching it.

Can we take it you got the news you were hoping for?

yep

Wondering if it's too early for lunch?

Yes, there's clarinet practice to do before family arrive about 1 to watch the Man C match.

Oh

There is clari practice to do yes, and am also awaiting the arrival of family, though not to watch football. it's dad's birthday
