Jude had another concert tonight. Absolutely brilliant!
A nice meal by the canal in Birmingham. And I've broken up for Easter. Yippee!!!!!!

A busy day involving coffee in the park, roast lunch to cook and eat, delivering Jude to Birmingham, coming home with shopping on the way back, a quick cuppa and back to Birmingham for Jude's concert this evening. They were brilliant - and Jude had a solo that he hadn't told us about!

Smiles 351:365


Smiles today came through the haze of a splitting sinus headache. However, year3 DT making picture frames with lolly sticks, glitter, feathers and crepe paper didn't kill me despite the tears and tantrums so I doubt anything will today. You have to smile at times like these or you'd cry. One child burst into tears because she had a headache after 25 seconds of noise, failing to consider that her voice is the loudest of them all and is used incessantly. The irony!

The Plantsbrook Christmas concert was rather good, despite not being able to see Jude at all as he was right at the back and one of the littlest! Still, whilst there are no pictures, here are Boos containing all the orchestra/brass band pieces. http://audioboo.fm/boos/1803282

And today's photo? 


Lisa at Christmas as a child. I have no recollection of the huge doll...!

That's my boy! North Area Brass Band Christmas concert last night and it wasn't just Jude making me smile but also pupils from WCPS. They all did really well and I was a proud Mum and teacher.

Jude's end of term concert this evening made me smile with happiness, enjoyment and pride. I love the sound of the trumpet and Jude played really well in his ensemble. Video will follow but not tonight!

I gave a beginners Spanish lesson this morning which was fun after so long teaching English. It helped that I had a very good pupil, and the 'thank you' was unnecessary but very kind x

Simple things often make me smile - the joy of getting freshly baked bread for lunch, Jude telling John that he owed him two hugs as he hasn't seen him yesterday, Isaac listening to whale music whilst studying and being asked if I was going out 'dressed like that' by my son!
