Am awaiting yet another ‘news of the future’ update from where I work, so forgive my grumpiness!!
chris is not blogging much. SB has done some education city at the new levels today, which she said was much better. Some maths and writing, and reading an usborn science book.
Other than that,they went out shopping.
We played a bit when i got home. SB did some violin. its not ideal doing it so late as she gets frustrated much more quickly, and is very fussy about perfection. I shouldn’t complain, but it can take a very long time to get to the end of a piece of music . She did play beautifully though. She put on a bit of a dance show, and we also read some greek myths – ulysses
BB and I spent a bit of time looking at the pond skaters in our pond. SHe was pretending to be one too,showing me how she would have to put her legs, before turning into a frog on a ‘leappad’ . SHe has a beautiful mind for thought at the moment.
I love listening to both of them- separately! – when they decided to think through something. SB gradually adds in more and more detail, and possibilities and choices. BB often turns into a dialogue with herself. Lovely
Oh,and RIP Pavarotti.I have loved listening to you sing for many years. such a voice and such a talent.
lol, we try to do violin first thing to avoid tiredness but he still always says he’s tired, pays no attention to detail, and thinks that playing a piece once means he’s practiced it!
Hugs for the latest work worries.
ah, so i can be relieved that it doesn’t make a difference in time
Sorry to hear you have more work worries.
Listening to the kids working things out is one of my favourite things too. P usually lapses in to silence before coming out with complete plan, while L talks constantly to himself – a sort of commentary. Pond life is great – ours have always loved looking at ponds and still do.
yuck to latest work worries, really hope they stop doing this to you and let you get on with waht you actually trained to do!
As for violins and so on, no, no difference what time you do practice! I am heading towards thinking this may be one of those things taht is best farmed out to someone else (beofre my nerves totally collapse)
