    Pooky/scaredy - that's how I started off on Thursday night. Suddenly felt very tired and a bit of a lumpy throat. Sore throat Friday and then a cold Saturday. I reckon tomorrow should be the end of it.

    have to say claire - when I was a kid, I was massively into music, was in an orchestra etc. I would have loved the piano bag if I'd have been given it as a gift :D

    I had a jumper with music on :D I wrote the music and then my mum turned it into a pattern with 1 line of music across it with the treble clef etc, the whole lot. I loved that jumper, wore it to school all the time. :D

    Wow BB...I lived for orchestra when I was at school too. Had one on a Tuesday night and then music school on Saturday mornings too. What instrument did/do you play?

    Flute is my main instrument Suzy. Got to university and then realised I could have done music as my second subject which I hadn't realised so was a bit :( at that as did American Studies as my second subject which has been even less use than my main subject which was Drama. Play a few others as well (violin, recorder, oboe, piano to varying degrees of rubbishness) and also sing.

    Loved being in the orchestra and choir. Went to Bremerhaven on a youth orchestra exchange when I was 14, it was great.

  • I went to band camp (true!) but I went with my 'own' instrument-Voice. I study vocal music and did up to Gr.8 at the Royal Conservatory...

    Now? I sing in the shower

    I was rubbish at playing instruments, I did get piano lessons once but I didnt like my teacher, he had sausage fingers and smelled of Old Spice aftershave *shudder*

    Used to sing in both the school and church choir, I actually miss going to church and really should make the effort:o

    Had a pleasant lunch with MIL who seemed to enjoy the trip out. I then went to see Granda and he was in the best shape I had seen him for a while, wearing the jumper I got him for his Birthday too:)

    The long weekend has gone quickly hasnt it.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
