Piano Lesson, Knitting and A Little Treasure

1 I hadn’t had a piano lesson for over six weeks for one reason or another and have been very bad about practising! My teacher, always encouraging, was so lovely and praised me for what I had remembered and pushed me on again.

2 I’ve finished knitting a cardigan for our 4th Grandchild due next April. If it turns out to be a boy, I shall have to find someone else to give this one to! The one I’ve now started is more neutral!

3 While looking through my boxes for a piece of fabric this afternoon, I came across this little present that I made for my Mum more than fifty years ago! She treasured it all those years and now it’s mine again.

Young Magpie, Piano Practice and Sally-boots

27 Jun

1 We’ve been watching a family of magpies over the last few days. I know they are not very well-behaved but the iridescence of their feathers is very beautiful! This youngster is trying to find his place in the garden but the pigeon is having none of it!

: I’ve told you before. This is my tree!

: Perhaps I’ll just ignore you!

: Okay, I’m off!

: I told you it was my tree.

: Sally-boots for Ionie

2 I finally managed to get a tricky piano piece right! It might be Grade 1 but it’s a challenge for me!

3 I’ve finished the Sally-boots for Ionie, the newest baby in the family.

Penryn, Shopping and Nutella

29 Mar

1 Another beautiful day so singing with The Suitcases in the Zed Shed was particularly lovely with the view of the Penryn river as a backdrop. It was our last session with Claire for seven weeks as she goes off to London to be MD on the Wildworks production, Babel in Caledonia Park. I hope to go up to London to see the show in May.

2 Went into Truro after singing to meet the lovely Mr S to do some final shopping for our trip to Senegal and also met Phillipa and Dan with their tiny baby daughter for whom I knitted the Sally-boots. They are too big for her just yet.

3 I made some Nutella meringues! Truly scrumptious but one to share was enough and the rest will be frozen. This was to use up all the egg whites I had left from making Jewel Cookies. Choc Chip Uru at Go Bake Yourself was my inspiration for these. Thank you! http://gobakeyourself.wordpress.com/
