just another morning here

Anna told us (very nonchalently, as if it wasn’t much of an achievement!) on Tuesday that she’d been invited to join the Chamber Orchestra – which is the higher level of the children’s orchestra, so more technically advanced, and with a better balance of instruments, as the children’s orchestra doesn’t do auditions it can be rather unbalanced at times. She wasn’t sure at first whether she wanted to do it or not as it’s a whole hour’s extra practice ( ) but it’s a compliment to be asked, anyway. Today she gave it a try and came out saying she’d really enjoyed it so that was great. She’s probably among the youngest there so it’s going to be hard work, but also very good for her

Abbie finished a beaded photo frame that she’s been making over the past week or so; it looks really nice. She’s put a photo in it and is ready to give it to the lucky recipient. She’s also set up her art stuff on her desk and is painting loads of lovely pictures.
Also today she took her own money into Claire’s and, completely unprompted, came out with nothing for herself because she ran out of money buying a present for Anna to say well done for going to Chamber Orchestra
