Wednesday xx

While I was clearing out Roman's bedroom last week I came across an old sheet from his toddler bed and thought while the sewing machine was out I would use it to line the curtain in Anais bedroom and hopefully block some light out.

I finished my book this afternoon "Avenger" Frederick Forsythe - very, very good.

Tonight was Anais' orchestra concert at Adrian Boult Hall.

Very proud of Anais.  She started to learn how to play the violin at school in year four.  At the start of year five she was invited by her violin teacher to join the local orchestra, she was the only person from her school who decided to go so she knew nobody there.  When she left junior school in July last year she was worried she wouldn't be able to go back but her teacher asked if she would like to stay on and she said yes as she enjoys it so much.

Her group played four pieces, Luminescence, Pizzicato Parade, Fiddle Fever and Croc Rock.  Unfortunately though the camera ran out of memory and stopped recording the third song almost ten seconds from the end of the song.  Mark got his mobile out to record the fourth song but the microphone (we think) is packing up on his phone so that wasn't brilliant either.  My favourite was Luminescence and Fiddle Fever.  They played brilliantly to say they were all children, they played to a very high standard.

Roman was very good though he got tired in the second half and went to sit on Mark's lap.  They both fell asleep in the car on the way home and we finally got home just before 10PM
