Screech

Busy day. Up at 6.30am, boys sorted for school...Lewis's bus went sailing past 15 minutes early yet again which is so annoying!...worked on the wards today. I went straight to the gym after work and I found the workout quite shattering today which is weird because the past few times it's been a doddle.

Lewis was practising his guitar after school and then had the brainwave to get out the violin that he'd played at primary school. All of my boys have played violin at school. During Year 3, they all play the violin (or viola or cello depending on the size of the child!) for one lesson a week for a year. Well, I'm sorry but I wish the school would pick something more tuneful. I don't know why they chose the violin as, even if someone is genius at playing it, it only just sounds about decent. When children play the thing, it's horrible. Let them play the piano or a guitar which are both much easier to get a tune out of. Anyway, Rowan didn't really want to pose for me with the violin as he doesn't much care for it either. Poor lad still has weekly lessons up until September!!

I now need a lie down in a darkened room. I feel shattered. I feel old!!

Enjoyed watching Mary's Bottom Line.
