The ‘gig’

Posted in diary on October 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

I went to see Mrs Hunter having phoned first and making an appointment with her ‘personal secretary’. The house was huge and I was let in through a big electronically operated gate. A maid answered the door and I was asked to wait. Mrs. Hunter was very nice and showed me the [...]

More work

Even more spare time will disappear, at least that’s what you’d think if you listened to Charlie moaning. Remember the man who asked me to play for him and his wife when I first started playing at the hotel? He asked me if I would play at a party he and his wife [...]

It’s amazing how my calendar is filling up again: As well as my teaching job, I have the Hotel, the library (my timetable allows me to continue helping out with reading on, Wednesday afternoons), piano lessons with Jess and now dance which will take up two mornings and an afternoon as on Saturday mornings I [...]

Dancing again

A month or so back I was thinking of taking up dance again, but didn’t get round to doing anything about it.
The other day I was shopping at the supermarket when a voice behind me said ‘Hello Andrea’. I tuned round and said,’ I’m sorry, Andrea was my mother’. There was a [...]

Charlie got back really late from the game the other night, I was actually asleep and he woke me up. He told me I smelt lovely, which I hope I did after a long soak in bath oils to soothe away my troubles. He announced that he’d been thinking, I couldn’t [...]

Bad day

Posted in diary, tagged , , , on October 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

After the news on gran I certainly have had trouble sleeping. I feel like a zombie a lot of the time and so I forget things and get things wrong, so eventually logic says I would have a bad day. Today was one of those days when you just wish you could hide [...]

I just had the phone call that I thought that I wouldn’t get for a few years yet. Gran has had a stroke. She can’t be too seriously ill with it because she has given strict orders that I stay put; I am forbidden to go and visit her. I just hope [...]

The muse

Watching Charlie working on something to do with weight, space and speed…
ANGIE: I wish could understand your work better

CHARLIE: [...]

My first pupil

Posted in diary, tagged , on October 9, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

I answered the door yesterday afternoon and was surprised to find a very smart woman in her late thirties standing there. She presented her excuses and explained to me that she was Jess’s mom. Jess looks like a miniature version of her! I invited her in and over a cup of [...]

My birthday was on  Saturday this year so I didn’t have to go off to work or do anything. We got off to a good start by having a lie in, even though I woke up early, I still get excited about birthdays! Charlie made brunch. He gave me flowers and some beautiful [...]
