Ok today was the day i had to go to the hospital. Warning for anyone going on the train - its the winter timetable!!! So was late and had to catch the late train and a taxi up to the hospital otherwise we would have been late. The railcard arrived this morning as well - cant believe that!!! For a change first class meant first class - and arrived the morning after being sent the night before!!!

Well to the hospital to see the consultant and he wasnt there he was on holiday i saw someone else and instead of being in and out in 5 mins we were in there for 15/20 minutes. Didnt quite catch his name he spoke too fast .... he wanted to know more about what was going on, how many i was having, he even said asked if it was ok to talk...

Brass instrument lessons are held every week at school but, so far, Laura hasn't had to bring one home.
"It's different to playing the clarinet, Nana," Laura said tonight as we did her clarinet practice. "You have to blow a raspberry into the mouthpiece to make a note and that's why your cheeks puff out." Mummy has had a word with Miss Johnson, at school, and told her that when it comes to playing music, the clarinet comes first for Laura. Miss Johnson, it turns out, used to play the clarinet herself so she's quite happy about that. She says the brass playing is part of the curriculum so they have to do it but she realises Laura may not make it a priority.

Laura says she, herself, and Anna and Vicky...

Well, the three lads have finally gone. They departed on monday, after signing all the paperwork with the agents on their new property near Uni. Took a few bits down with them. Tuesday night Brian, my partner, took an estate car full of boxes and bags down there. Now all that is needed is to arrange a time and a van to take their larger items. Instruments and amps, computers, a bed, etc.
