IN BRIEF
Saturday 2nd
The Importance of being...
Ernest, one of Graham's work mates came to pick up some bits and it turns out that music, or rather playing the trombone in a band is the love of his life (he's only been playing for 10 years). It was lovely being able to talk to someone about music again. He mentioned Bruck's violin concerto (my absolute favourite) and we discussed the difference between Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet.

Tuesday 5th
Spent an hour at the dentist having two root fillings filled. You know the cavern they've just rediscovered in The Peak District? Well, I think my dentist has found two more. I'm think of applying to The Guinness World Records as they are both 19mm. Is this a record?

Wednesday 6th
Craft session at local school, bit of a flop as only two turned up. They were very appreciative and enthusiastic, but the potential 5 week course has been shelved in the short term.

Thursday 7th
Had phone call from Adult Ed in Ilkeston. They need someone for a 5 week craft session at Kirk Hallam after Christmas, looks promising...

Friday 8th
Bus syndrome... Line Manager offered me a 15 week course teaching Crafts to people with Mental Health problems (same day, same time), que faire? feel I have to stick with my provisional acceptance of 5 week course which will pay less money. Much gnashing of teeth - and they're only just beginning to feel better...
