bamboozled

we went on a jaunt to london today [yes, i took an annual leave day!] to see the LSO in action as they whizzed around the world. we really enjoyed it. early start from the manor instead of ultra-early from ours! got to meet her friend B and R again – which was lovely. and got to chat more this time. the girls played in the water at the barbican, nearly getting drowned, and only not on the promise of being able to play again afterwards.

The concert was really enjoyable, and SB said she really loved it, did wish that we had had Ode to Joy so she could have recordered, as we didn’t – i hadn’t managed to def work out whether we would or wouldn’t. she liked seeing the harry potter music she said, as she could see who made the wind whirl. [lovely way with words]. she was grumpy with me for only playing her winter before BB wasn’t quite so sure. she enjoyed the first 2, found petroushka a bit harder to deal with [as anticipated] and went out in bamboozled. we might try a family one/key stage 1 and see how she does. me, i just loved the jumping sheep in candide…

glad to see so many friends – when your friends are e-friends more often than not, it is lovely to catch them in the real. and actually, we have had a social may for catching friends in the real – june will seem really weird in comparison! and thanks to the organiser. well done!
