I think K would rather have fewer longer exams. On some days she only has a 40 minute exam, and it's a long way to travel for such a short exam. She said she might try to schedule music lessons on those days.

Re: Today I've mostly bin...
Ive been recording them so Im just about ready to have them placed in a dedicated Website to host them and I have to get 1000 books printed showing images of old east Belfast along with little excerpts from elderly residents in the community as well as the songs and rhymes they remember. A DVD showing the songs, rhymes and games will also be included and the 1000 books are being given out freely. I then have to launch the entire thing with a huge street party followed by a tea dance for the elderly.
Somewhere in the middle of all this I will be getting married

Re: Today I've mostly bin...
ah, so you've not got much on over the next couple of months!
That'll keep you out of mischief.
Hope it all goes really well.

Congratulations Red Fraggle it sounds great.
We've just got back from Cirque du Soleil, which was fantastic. We had brilliant seats, about halfway up and almost in the middle, but there was so much going on that you could go to see it four times and still see bits you'd missed. There would be something like a juggler doing the most amazing things at the front of the stage, and various other characters striking poses, clowning around, cycling across tightropes on penny farthings with someone doing a handstand on the cylist's head all at once. The frenchman sat next to me was nearly wetting himself everytime the trapeze artists let go of their trapezes to do a triple somersault and catch someone else's arms (despite the big safety net). They did things with skipping ropes that I wouldn't have believed were possible and there were four very cute little girls who only looked about 8 doing amazing things with diablos such as throwing them up doing two backflips and catching them.

Re: Today I've mostly bin...
Thank you all - the book will be free! Pebbles - you wont be saying that when he starts into EVERYTHING.
Carmen went to the shop with me last night and promptly put a bottle of juice and a bottle of bubbles into her bag But then she walked to the counter, took them out again and said 'Juju mummies' - that means - Juju money! and like the mug that I am - I did!

Re: Today I've mostly bin...
Sounds wonderful, Giraffe! Glad you're having a good time.
Fraggle - I remember coming back to the car from Marks and Spencers and realising that my son (age 2) had been filching luxury food from the shelves in the food hall and stuffingit in the tray under the push chair!! I'm so ridiculously honest I rushed back to the shop (which was about half a mile away from where I'd parked) and handed them back. I was really sweating on my way back, convinced I was going to feel the "hand on the shoulder". If I'd had any sense I'd have put it in the car and had a really nice tea!!

Wow, Pebbles! One year old. Happy birthday to the little man!
And sounds like a brilliant show Giraffe. Seems like you're having a great holiday.

Re: Today I've mostly bin...
I tend not to post my stuff on here unless it's a little out of the ordinary.....
Today I got my first correct answer in the current mag Even that was with a roadmap (considering where my wanderings were taking me ). Oh well - we'll see what the rest of the month brings.
