it was absolutely chucking it down in a sideways way this morning as i left for church just after 7 this morning. but once i was in the school hall, all was dry.
i was in two bands this morning which was exciting. it was nearly very exciting because i was an emergency stand in for the bass player who had to play drums on a performance track during a slide show of pictures of church couples. the only problem was i’d never heard the song before last wednesday and the only version i could listen to in advance was in the wrong key. oh, and we didn’t have a practice. but it was all ok so i needn’t have worried.
after church i came back and got on with my photo course (which is why there are a couple of puppet pictures) and then i got a call from jane who had taken the girls to the local swimming pool to say my car battery was flat and wouldn’t start.
so i phoned our friend john who is a practical chap and borrowed some jump leads. he also showed me how to open the bonnet on my car. who knew there was so much going on under the front bit of a car ? anyway, all was good and we got it going again – although we were worried about decapitation as the gusts of winds threatened to drop the bonnets on our heads at any moment.
then esther had her last flippa ball of the term (another loss today apparently), then a game of rummikub, followed by some family skyping for me
jane says “hello”. you should email her and tell her your news !
