Tiring, exciting day with a slightly worrying start, probably not surprising. Early night?? Or at least catch up on sleep a bit over the weekend!
Anyway I'm shattered too so I'm going for now

Just on the forums for a bit, trying to solve level 53. It seems really obvious - home sweet home, but it isn't working!!
Then back to the English essay.

Awards Update
There are still quite a lot of people who haven't given me (Best Recording) or violin-ann (Best Composition) their PM nominations for the categories stated in brackets. If you want me to send a PM to remind you, please reply here or in one of the appropriate awards threads and I'll send one to you. [CPPF: I know you already wanted one on Sunday, just in case you thought I forgot!]
By the way, if you want one tomorrow, you might not get it as early as 10:30pm!

You know next to the address bar when you click the down arrow it shows a list of the latest webpages you typed in? Well the more 'game' stuff you type in it deletes the usual stuff you go on, which in turn annoys my parents who go on the same computer.

Hi everyone.
Just got back from helping my dancing teacher at her beginners class and had the most
rudest couple there tonight. They just didn't want me helping them, but didn't want to be left to do it wrong!! Can't win either way!! Everytime I said "siiiiiide close" or something similar, one would sigh and look at the other in this way that just said they didn't want to know. Why come?? In the end I taught it them as fast as possible and left them to it. As my teacher said later they were "miserable".
Miserable I can cope with (lots of practice with sibling), but rude was just uncalled for.

I suspected my last -but-one had done virtually nothing. So I played slightly unfair ... "let's have a look at your new piece ( no title, just your new piece) ".
It was listed in the notebook last lesson - with instructions as to which lines to practise.
Totally lost - pupil could not identify the piece in question.
Hmm.
Can't remember the last time I tried that one!

Don't you feel sometimes "why am I doing this?". Last night's F# incident, par exemple, the piece is only Bach's Minuet in G, for heaven's sake, we've been on it for w e e k s and he still can't remember F#. The thing is he
knows he's played a wrong note because he gives me a shifty sidelong glance. Trouble is (pours strong black coffee - and he means STRONG) he's learning guitar with someone else and keyboard and piano with me. And the other teacher and me want a weekly dose of practise for each instrument.........too much? Kid's choice..........or is it MOTHER!!!!!???? mmmmm!
(finishes coffee and goes off to prepare for Nine o'clock Nina) Piano.....good player.......grade 8........sight reads like a dream........no personality!)
Have good days everyone!
ps Can you bring your own food into the cafe? Tomorrow is "Sunday Breakfast Day"

and I make a mean raisin and cinnamon crumble cake - eaten warm! How many for breakfast?
