just another morning here

One of the posh private schools in town is having its 350th anniversary celebrations this year, and as part of that, through her cello teacher, Anna had the opportunity to go for a masterclass today, with Morwenna Del Mar, an ex-pupil of the school. There were about 12 students, apparently, and for a couple of hours they played and heard constructive criticisms of one another’s performances. Then they sat and listened to her play a recital as well. Anna came home absolutely exhausted but definitely enjoyed it.

After a fairly manic morning, I had a nice afternoon too; spent most of it in our light room at school, learning how to do specific activities for the VI (visual impairment) programme with one of the children in our class, which was very interesting. Still really enjoying work generally, even though it doesn’t make it onto the blog very often.

Steve’s afternoon could have been interesting, but for the fact that he never listens to a word I say, so was sat outside a private school waiting for the afternoon to finish at 3.30pm. Quite unbelievable, given that he’d only taken her there an hour beforehand. The recital itself was only due to start at 4.30pm, which I had told him – and Anna had her phone so was just going to ring him when it finished in any case. Not to mention the fact that the info letter was hanging around in the kitchen for weeks beforehand, never mind while he ate lunch today – so he could have looked at it! So huge for that one!

The other two didn’t have anything remarkable today, will have to wait until another day to write about them
