Make a late breakfast

Not until later but give blood for the first time ever

Prepare a lasagne for tonight's tea. (Though Crotchety Mum's suggestion is a good one )

Sleeep.

So tired.

Plan a Further Mathematics lesson on the parametric form of the parabola and hyperbola, for 10am on Friday.


That's after I've put the rubbish out for collection tomorrow! They always arrive at 7am on the dot - I think we're probably the first on their round - the dustcart reversing with a beep and a female voice informing us all that the vehicle is reversing!

Did it go OK?

If the 'eek' emoticon is anything to go by then Juniper's been totally exsanguinated!

going to teach......

Shower in the bad shower, because the other one is leaking into the sitting room

Give the clarinet some exercise.

Pack. I hate packing.

Have some post-exam fun by bashing through loads of new music on the clarinet and not caring how badly I play it.

A four hour band practise, Eek!

Is the flute part for Down Under ready yet?

Erm...... No. Had a rushed ten minutes trying to learn the trumpet part for two more new ones this morning as I haven't had the the time. Oh well I should be fine for my grade three aural!!!

Have a fun rehearsal : may there not be too many lip-destroying high notes!

Chemistry homework

Probably just read a little. This week's going to be a hectic week, so we're all relaxing as much as possible today!

Rehearse Monteverdi's Vespers for 3 hours

Oh lucky you. I have to tidy my study - what a bore!

Get ready for Evensong.

have a bath have some munchies and then go to bed i am exhausted

go to bed! night night zzz

In a few mins I will drive over to Keighley (45 min) for early dinner at my sisters, then pop in and see my Dad (90 later this year) then go and see my sister on the stage in that well known play 'The Winslow Boy' at Keighley Playhouse. She is playing the boy's mother.

Chemistry homework, then clarinet or piano practice.

Piano practice, piano practice and more piano practice

Was gooood

Put the green bin out for collection.

Thank you- you just reminded me- it's bin day here too
....



I am going to get my bin out too and get my youngest up for school!

I need to get ready to go out - I'm going back over to Belfast on Thursday for a night to see my brother in the Wizard of Oz, and I need to buy my Dad his (extremely) belated birthday present!

Prepare all the English and class music lessons I have to do until the end of the school year. Then I can forget about them and just open the files and notebooks at the right page each week!

Support the local economy (read: go to the pub after doing 3.5 hours practice!)

Then just one final nocturne to put yourself to sleep?

I've been running through show-tunes in preparation for accompanying singers. Not really my cup of tea, but the songs are nice, I have to admit; from Oliver, West Side Story and Les Miserables. I joined their singing lessons during the day, so I'm about to do some playing of what I like.

Who knows, maybe a nocturne myself!

Bed

Me too

Well, I'll definitely be putting some effort into learning the D minor Field one soon after hearing you play it so well at first sight! I just need to finish this Bagatelle (getting there!) and the Tchaikovsky "June" piece first before I take on anything else seriously - argh!

See if I can get excerpts from Les Miserables on YouTube. I have four songs from LM to accompany next week: On My Own, Castle on a Cloud, I Dreamed a Dream and Bring Him Home (I only know one of them, although I played them through last night.)

My favourite musical

Wow! Many thanks. That'll save me trawling through at random.

In singing lessons yesterday, I accompanied Who Will Buy (Oliver), Somewhere (West Side Story) and Hello Dolly! together with a couple of the set competition songs. Tomorrow will be Les Mis'-heavy though, so I thought I'd better get clued up - just as well to know the words, for phrasing etc.


My potato smells like it's ready now ..... mmmmmm!!

Have dinner - fish in a butter sauce with some rice boiled in veggie stock

Give Beethoven the attention he deserves! I've neglected him all week for other pieces but it's time I get back to the sonata I'm learning.
Beethoven, here I come!!!

Practice the piano. Got home late tonight so had to eat before playing. now just want to sleep must.....get...up......

Oh, which one???!!!

Sonata Op.49/2! It's supposed to be his easiest one but I difinitely do not find it easy!!!! Every section has a different level of difficulty and right now I'm really struggling with it! When my teacher plays it, it sounds so nice and so cheerful. The way I play it...you feel so depressed by the end of it you feel like you want to jump of the window!!!!
It's going to require A LOT of work before it sounds half decent but I'm enjoying the challenge!

LOL! I'm not sure if that was the one I was having an idle play with the other week. Sonata movements are so much work, but so rewarding! Can't believe I'm crazy enough to start on a 3rd one now but I can't get OP.28 ii out of my head, I love it!

You'll play it beautifully in a few months, I'm sure

Try to mend my piano stool. I have an identical one at school and it collapsed under me (fortunately not under a pupil) last week. Mended that one only to find this morning that mine is also wobbling.

Plan some lessons and write up the minutes of a meeting that I've been putting off doing for a week now...

Bed Late night (or should I say early morning) with friends last night so need to catch up.

Have an early night methinks. 200 mile round trip to the zoo tomorrow for nieces 13th birthday so sleep is a good plan
