It Has Seemed a Long Day ... And It's Not Over Yet!

[debris4spike]

 It must have been a bad day - I ended up doing some cleaning - yes I now know that all my undies are in the right draw - and all OK ... I know that my sun-tops are not tangled with other T-shirts ... and that I have more scarves than I thought I had!

On top of that - I have cleaned the windows at the front of my house ... mowed the lawn and been to the Bank and the library ... but souldn't egt the book I wanted.  I had been promising myself I would brush up on my French Grammer ... no luck, it's all multi-media French conversation ... so if anyone has any ideas about on-line courses I would be grateful.

The sun is out - which was great for my walk to the Bank etc ... I went the long way round!

When I got back I spent some time practicing my clarinet - we have a concert on Saturday, but at this point I tend to play anything but that music.  So I sat and murdered Mozarts concerto!

Now I am waiting for a patient to arrive - who has phoned to say they are running late.

So - as you can see it has been a dull day down here - oh well ... at least I got a few things done.  Hope your days have been as productive!!

So you play the clarinet? What an accomplished lady you are. My sister snd her kids are all so musical but me, well, I used to be able to play guitar a bit but it's an ornament now I'm afraid. I have a guitar of James's that I won in a charity auction many years ago. He signed it for me too.

I went to class today and did a mock exam. The real thing is next Tuesday. Now I have to write up my notes and do some serious revision. I'm doing psycho-therapy BTW.

No idea about the French courses, I'm afraid.

Yes - started at school and then gave up. Came across the instrument when I moved here - joined a small Church group - then a small classics group - which is now an Orchestra! So I was able to learn as that grew - although I am mostly self-taught. It helps that 10 years ago I joined a Band where most were x-military musicians ... and they taught me a lot.

BUT - you lucky girl - James' guitar - How amazing - yes just the type of ornament I would like.

Good luck with the exams - how do you feel the mock went - has it given you confidence, or helped you decide what you need to study?

Yes, the mock went well. Most of the work is course assessed so the exam is not like sitting an A'level and writing about 4 long essays. I think I have been trying too hard - the other students said this too. Most of the questions, based on a sample case study require evidence that we have done the course, not in-depth essays. We do know it, we just have to relax and read the quedtion properly!

*sigh* it's always a bad day when you have to do cleaning...what do you mean I shouldn't just buy more...

At least you had nice weather for your Bank walk.

Hope your days have been as productive!!

I'm still hoping...

[debris4spike]

Well you still have 1/2 a day to go ... so hope that everything goes well this afternoon!

[deborahw37.livejournal.com]

I'm impressed by your industry!

[debris4spike]

I think you inspired me yesterday!!

btw - have you seen beanbeans pictures today - bees ... lots of them!

[deborahw37.livejournal.com]

I've been horribly idle today but my excuse is I'm back at work tommorrow

And I saw the pictures and cheered!

[winsomeone.livejournal.com]

Wow, it sounds like you've finished quite a lot of things- errands and such. That's such a good feeling.

[debris4spike]

Yes - that's true... quite a few things ticked off the list!

You were super busy!
I tried to find some online French courses since you talked about it a little while back but for now, nothing. If I 'm successful I will give you the link.

My day has not been very productive but I had lunch with a dear friend -I hadn't seen her for along time so it was nice.

[debris4spike]

Yes - i know you looked - as I did last time I mentioned it ... That's why I thought - labrary ... but it is all conversation ... while it is the grammer and vocabulary that I really need to re-focus on! Oh well - I will find something eventually.

Glad you had a nice lunch - sometimes lazy days can be so positive that they re-vitalise you for the rest of the week ... you will probably end up doing loads tomorrow!!

My heaven's you were busy! I need to get crackin' on heavy housework myself, but not until this heat breaks. (It's 98+ degrees farenheit here... insanely hot and humid - so not normal for this area this time of year.)

[debris4spike]

Yes - its hot here (not that hot ... high 70's low 80's) but living on The Atlantic Coast we get a slight breeze so it is rarely humid.

I have to be inspired to do extra cleaning etc ... I must have had a good dream (even though I don't remember) last night or something!!
