iphone screen mending (not cheap)

bowling for kez.  music practice for esther (including driving practice)

gym for jane out at silverdale

 

church this morning then kezia, fay and i spent the afternoon wandering round shops

jane and esther did school and house works.

esther had a violin practice in the afternoon during which jane walked pearl

here’s a thing i made for photoclub this evening.  bit disturbing i think!

esther, kezia and i spent eight hours at the cathedral yesterday for their gala concerts.   The westlake symphony orchestra, concert band and chamber orchestras all got gold awards and the big band got silver.  there was no first place awards this year as they’ve been abolished because Westlake won them all last year!!

jane came to the first concert then came home to do household and school preppy things

fay went to the museum and then a food festival with a uni chum

I’ll add some audio at some point

 

school for kezia then she got the bus to the cathedral in the evening

esther had KBB music competition during the day and then was at the cathedral with kezia in the evening for the all stars special orchestra which they were both in this year

esther played her trombone in the orchestra so that was a change for her (she usually plays violin)

fay had university, jane had school and i worked from home as i had to read the Telecommunications Act (fun!)

this evening jane and i went to the cathedral to watch the girls in the KBB Honours Cathedral who were conducted by a chap from Hawaii University

we also watched the KBB honours big band who always have great conductors with crazy hair

here’s a video of one of the orchestral pieces – the orchestra didn’t know each other and only had three hours to rehearse

nice sun rise this morning on the way to work

girls had school

esther did some orchestra things this morning and then had her competition performance with her big band this afternoon

fay had university and ended up having a long journey home due to a bussing error

jane had school and parents evening

i had a meeting up a tall building at lunchtime which was very confusing

on the way back to the office i got a free haircut which was very low quality

more rain

school (girls), university (fay), school (more football for jane), work (me), book club (jane)

school and orchestra competing at the cathedral for esther and kezia

university for fay

day of french inspired football for jane (didn’t sound too terrible – jane didn’t play)

busy day of zooming about at work for me

jane has gone to the gym at silverdale again this evening with her chum

school, work, university

it’s the KBB music festival/ competition this week so the girls were both at the cathedral this evening competing.
