Was going to go out for a walk (those ten-thousand steps a day, and that). Made two steps out of the building and... changed my mind, with the rain, the wind and the damp cold out there. Will have to go out later (for one of my two remaining visit lessons, something I decided I won't do any more) but, for now, home it is.
The last week has been a bit empty.Oh, lots has happened, doing my lessons both private and school -the school in Watford decided they would do an Inset day on Tuesday so I had to ask whether I could do my teaching day on Friday. For some reason it was a lot more exhausting than usual. I wonder how long I will be able to do these things -but can't afford to retire so must try to do it for as long as I can. I love teaching music but the work in schools is often a chore, more usually not because of the teaching itself but because of the way they do things in those places.
Will be looking at getting some English lute renaissance pieces ready to play -I hardly ever play in public these days but I want to have a programme ready. And I have, but want to change some of the material I'm playing. And you never know, I did get those three local concerts recently. Looking at a couple of pieces by John Dowland, maybe play again that Pavane by Holborne, 'Countess of Pembroke's Paradise'.
For the moment, just some scale practice and put a load in the washing machine..
