Last night was the arts and cultural awards ceremony at Fish Hoek High School for all grades. It was a fun evening, we were entertained by various short acts or musical performances by the students and the hospitality group made us a surprisingly tasty dinner. Have told Jessica she really needs to join them next, have visions of coming home to sumptuous suppers all week long. However the reason why I’m feeling so doggarn proud this morning is not only was Jessica one of the few performances last night, she played one of her recorder pieces she’d studied for her Trinity College grade 5 music exam, but she also won the floating trophy for music. That’s my girl!
Poor kid was so nervous – it’s tough enough playing for an examiner, but it’s worse to have to play in front of your peers and teachers!
On the cat front – we’ve treated them to a new scratching post – the old one was starting to look like it’d been through a hurricane, tsunami and tornado all rolled into one. They’re taking awhile to get used to it.
On the medical front, the wrist is getting there slowly – still have the splint on and although more movement is coming back it aches – it’s also costing a friggin fortune, thank goodness for medical aid!!!! (And a rich husband — Hah! You didn’t know I could edit these, hey? — wrm)Â Tamsyn on the other hand had to go and have an MRI taken of her foot – turns out she may well have broken it a couple of years back unbeknown to us and it’s just never healed properly. Doc may have to perform a small operation to either remove bits of bone or scrape stuff away to ensure it heals correctly. Boy am I getting value for money this year from the medical aid.
And to end off…. recipe for a restless night?
