The First Day

Visited the dentist first thing this morning. Then onto The Lincoln Piano Centre. After about eighteen months of piano lessons it's about time we moved on from our tiny keyboard. We had great fun looking around and playing on all the different pianos. Very excited because in the workshop is a small piano that looks like it has our name on it. We had a look at the undone structure, with all the strings and pads and other bits and pieces.

Then a trip to buy sewing stuff - fabrics, needle threaders, pins, bias tape etc for our learning-to-sew project. Back home for a snack lunch, followed by dog-training, bread-making, poetry, piano practice, music theory, estimating short lengths (maths project)... and a wonderful hour amidst all this activity watching Laura Robson play on The First Day at Wimbledon. We're really sorry she lost, but such an inspiration to us all at just fifteen years old.

Some people will do anything to get out of school...
