Just A Small catch-Up

No work today ... don't know why, but I am doing some housework, have sorted out some knitting to start a new top for the winter ... and catching up with all sorts of bits and pieces.

No real news - didn't work yesterday either (3 days off this week) ... but I took Mum to her Low Vision Centre to get her magnifiers sorted out.  She has 3 of them on permanent loan, and one had to be made stronger.  They are great, and it was 2 years ago that she first went, in denial, whereas now she is slowly accepting that she has lost 85% of her vision.  However we all remember that miracles do happen ... so maybe one day I shall be typing that I took the magnifiers back.

Yesterday I heard that I am again wanted for Bude Orchestra ... it is good to be doing that.  Even though I did look around here a bit, I never would have felt happy with another conductor ... orchestra had 3 while I was there and I went to band for 8 years ... yet the present conductor is someone I respect as a person, as well as a musician .. and that really helps an amateur like me.  This coming concert is a charity one, and runs every other year ... the organiser was Maggie (who you may remember died a couple of years ago of cancer) ... so it is good that it went ahead.  She has set up a lasting legacy.

Well that's me as of today!

Hope you are all busy ... and behaving yourselves ... but also managing to have fun.

Oh I would like a few days off myself. But will do so next week.

What colour top are you going to knit? I normally don't knit tops, sweaters or just clothing in general because they tend to get to big, (like 3 sizes bigger ;) ) so I admire people who do.

So nice they asked you back to do a concert.

Saw you won a icon contest! YAY. Great work.

I'm glad you are still playing with the orchestra!

Wishing the best for your mother and her vision. Praying that the stronger magnifier works well and even moreso that someday they wont even be necessary!

Exciting news about the orchestra!

Hope you got everything caught up with your house. That's always such a good feeling.

Also, since I didnt want to flood your inbox anymore, haha, that urine joke was hilarious as was the one about parliament. Sad but true fact about policitical figures, no doubt!

I will be praying that God continues to preserve her sight. He definitely has plans greater than we know :)

Three days off work week for the win :)

Any chance of hearing a recording of the Bude Orchestra sometime? With you in the mix preferable :D
