Have had a couple of gigs lately which have made a small amount of music fill a very large space of time.

Quartet job at John Lewis's featured a 2 hour break and a 3 course meal, which was nice; and a concert in Wells had a 30 minute interval. That seemed a little pointless.

Well - I suppose that's back to school then...

The music room at today's school has been turned into a special needs teaching room. The piano has gone, and so has the music that Sam left in there last term.

Jade and Zakk had forgotten their cellos, or at least their mother had brought the cellos into school for them later, but we couldn't find them anywhere in the school. They turned up eventually, under the deputy head's desk.

Jade had forgotten which hand to hold the cello in, and Zakk couldn't remember how to unzip the case.
