Fixit started work on Wednesday. He leaves the house at 6.30am but is home at a reasonable hour. He seems to be enjoying himself, but is tired at the end of the day. When he was first retrenched I found it annoying having him around in the morning. He kept getting in my way while I was trying to get the boys off to school! But then I got used to it. So it was weird this last few days not having him around. I would say it actually ran more smoothly, but we all missed him too.
Both boys had music concerts this week. Climber, in typical fashion, neglected to tell us that his flute ensemble were providing pre-show foyer music so we pretty much missed that. But the two bands he performed in during the show proper (Junior Band and Junior Stage Band) were excellent, and he looked very handsome in his concert shirt and trousers too.
Cherub was highly excited to be doing a music concert as well. His band has only had 6 weeks preparation, and most of them only started learning their instruments at the start of last term so they only played three very short pieces, but they clearly enjoyed themselves and played with gusto.
I'm feeling proud of all the boys this week!
Oh and PS I bought new tap shoes, because my purple ones have never quite recovered from having the cracked tap-plate. There were no purple ones left in my size so I've gone with some all-black lace-ups. Busting to try them out tomorrow morning!

ReplyDeleteWe're living parallel lives at the moment! The Impossible Princess's class had their 'debut' nstrumental concert this week too. And of course, we know about the flute ensemble thingy. Great news about Fixit's new job.
