I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, instead we are amidst a lot of changes both at home and work. Last week the brand new school music department finally opened and I was able to move all my things into my new room. Conditions are much better, but it is a tiny, tiny space with no windows (for sound quality). Thankfully my room is closest to the main door so I can get some fresh air into the room between students. I am thrilled to have my own air conditioning thermostat (set to my temperature) A piano of my very own and a huge white board. Now all I need is a lockable cupboard to store all my things. There are about 8 other rooms like this one, all full of music teachers and eager students and at the end of the corridor is a kitchen and seating area. It's great to be in the new building.
I have been preparing the students for exams and this Saturday is a full day of examinations and most importantly a full day of accompanying students on the piano. Eeek, must go and practice.
Robbie has been enjoying the surf this summer already, not needing Dad to help him or even take him. He and I woke up early last weekend and braved the morning heat (35 degrees at 8:45am) to have a quick surf. The waves weren't huge but the enjoyment certainly was.
With actual surfing lessons through school and an in-built genetic 'surf love' he was smiling every second. I can't wait to see him on Robs old and enormous surf board in the coming weeks.
