oh dear, I've sat here for a good ten minutes now trying to think of something to write and nothing....but nothing is springing to mind. I tried to think about what happened yesterday but my mind was quick to draw a veil over the events of yesterday, mainly due to the children's foul behaviour.
Katherine has started learning the clarinet at school and is immensly enthusiastic about it. I'm not so sure if she's playing cause I play the same instrument or because its something she really wants to do.
She came running out of school yesterday, across the playground to where I was standing, proudly clutching a school instrument. My heart was in my mouth as I had visions of her tripping at the last minute, the case crashing to the ground and the clarinet tumbling out onto the hard playground and the end of her playing days over before they began. Fortunately (or unfortunately for my ears) it didn't happen and the instrument made it home without any mishap.
At the moment we are learning the note E.... not much you can do with one note, but they are trying. Still the first lesson also included how to put the clarinet together, clean it and take it appart again so it wasn't a complete waste!
I'm sensing the need to take out shares in a reed company given the amount of reeds I can see us going through. Hopefully the squeeks and odd noises will even out over the next few weeks and we will have more of a musical nature than the current torture value of fingernails accross the blackboard.
More tomorrow......
