Today was the last Donkey Day of the term, very very hot in town but thankfully not so hot up at the Donkey Sanctuary, which is on the coast so benefits from a sea breeze! One of our kids got stung by a wasp today which added some interest but otherwise it was just a nice peaceful day at work – they do happen, occasionally!
It’s been the usual busy other than work; Anna had her piano exam yesterday, so that’s one thing to tick off the list. Hate the two week wait, especially when the examiner blatantly knows the mark he/she will give within minutes of the exam! Very glad to not have to hear her pieces any more though.
Tonight was the primary school’s Choral Evening which was great, especially as I had quickly backed out of most of the accompaniment that I’d been asked to do, so I could enjoy it! Played for our kids and that was bad enough, would have liked another week or so to practice it with them, it was very under-rehearsed! Anna played for one of the choir’s songs and joined in with them for others. My three all very much enjoy being part of the choir; Abbie’s class teacher is also the choir leader, and I think she’s wonderful – works really hard and gets a lot out of the kids. Busied myself videoing the last verse of the song to stop myself crying, I’m afraid that children singing is one of those things that just gets to me and makes me emotional! I love watching the little ones, as well, they are too cute 
Have spent the rest of the evening playing silly games while Steve listened to the radio. Enjoying the coolness now that it’s 11pm (HOW hot was it today?!!) but guess it’s bedtime.
