((((pen)))) deep breaths. You'll feel so relieved when you wake. xx
Slumps down on cushions frustrated. DS is ill with mild stomach bug so whole week's upside down now. How's everyone else doing? I have on the go for those who want some.

Hooray for HND - brilliant news Hope she is home and well on the road to recovery v. soon.
Well done invicta
Lots of snow here, but for the first time ever they seem to have been ready for it and roads are well gritted, so no real problems.
DD is playing the accompaniment for a professional opera singer at a do on Sat. - and getting v-well paid for it. She went over to his bloody enormous mansion house to rehearse last night, he is v . nice and has 3 mad dogs and she loves dogs - so hopefully she'll get more work if he does other gigs.
She's also playing church organ on Sunday - so I have to walk to the church with her later in the week so she can practice on the organ (she claims it is spooky in there on your own!)
I'm really pleased she's picking up quite a lot of work at the moment (various other choirs etc also on the go and some teaching)
Have just realised I have book club on thursday - so have to read Howard's End by then, - have so far managed about 50 pages and it is D.U.L.L - someone tell me it gets better please.
Hope little Smee is better soon, and you don't catch his bug Smee.
Love and warmth to all xx

Kurri, 'Howard's End' kind of seeps into you from memory. All I ever remember from studying it is 'only connect', because that was the key to crit. Good about DD and all that work. Most impressive.
Hope Pen's okay. Horrible not to be in first thing. Makes it far worse all that waiting.

I've only ever seen Howard's End (nearly wrote Howard's way) on film, and then never all the way through, just chunks of it whenever it's repeated (which is/.was often)
Glad ds isn't too bad then

Found you all
Hope DS is enjoying his day off today smee. Good day for staying at home imo as it is very cold.
kurri well done to DD. It sounds like she is much in demand.
Thinking of you today pen hope you have a speedy recovery.
Just back from walking the dog and really need to do some cleaning but can't be bothered having a coffee first.

Howard's End is improving as i progress - I do like Forster normally - but it's a long time since I read any - maybe I need to get back into his 'voice'. Small piece of trivia - one of my school friends was in Howard's End - one of the smaller parts (she was also in East Enders for a while ages ago).
gracie - you are doing well to get your dog out - mine looks out the door and digs her feet into the doormat - I've just carried her into the garden for a wee, and then DD had to dry her with a towel when we came back in, - she's now sitting on the sofa wearing a woolly jumper (the dog not DD, - she's wearing an old dressing gown )
Its really started coming down heavily again here all my bird food has been covered over. - I might not be able to get to book club at this rate - although I'd like to as we are all going to the pub for A NY lunch.
There's been quite a few nasty viruses ging round in this region - we've escaped so far, but a few friends have had lurgies. Hope DS feels better soon Smee - hopefully no Noro if he hasn't been sick.
MAS - I keep calling it Howard;s Way too - I blame Gig

DS has just trashed me at Monopoly. Definitely sending him to school tomorrow.

Gig - will there be questions on Abi's bizarre and alarming wardrobe contents? - I could ace them
Also -Jan's Boutique - who are the people who are willing to pay huge sums for hideous clothing and are happy to have it stuffed in an old carrier bag when they've paid?
I think I may have muffins in the freezer and a couple of bagels for the trolley (also some menthol cough sweets if anyone is desperately hungry - not me obviously, I would never scoff cough sweets when there's no food about)

Afternoon all
Tired today - had personal training session and counselling session back to back this morning, and both were hard work. Cold here - DSs school at the top of a hill, so all being told to park at the bottom and walk up the icerink road to school. . . I came an embarrassing cropper on my way out and ended up on my arse, and the lovely headmaster offered to walk me down the hill back to my car
All planning done for tomorrow and I have made a phonics game too
MAS thanks for the book, arrived safely this morning. Will make a start tonight if I am not too tired after Choir.
smee glad to hear DS feeling a bit better. Definitely sounds like he could go back tomorrow!
kurri what a clever DD! Sounds like she is carving out quite a niche for herself. And great experience to have a range of things to play for - ensembles, soloists, church. OUr church is quite creepy in the dark - I am with her on that one! You must be super proud of her
Good news on HND's drains out. Hopefully she'll be breaking for home soon.
Must get to the bottle bank before dark. Have shitloads a few bottles from Christmas to get rid of.
Laters lovelies
