Yeah!

Sports day got postponed till September but tomorrow me & the things have to go to the musical festival (60 8 & 9 year olds playing tin whistles and ocarinas - which they get to keep!) Can almost feel my headache starting.

Ooh, rather you than me lol. All this school stuff can make you wish you went to work. My volunteering days are over from friday, the youngest goes up to secondary school in sept and they don't really ask for any help.

Boots do excellent discrete ear plugs.

oh come-on sherrardk .. you know you enjoy it.

thank you by the way for your kind words earlier re: avatar mission, i placed it on 'best answer'
if you do decide you'd like someone - please let me know.

Clarks do excellent boots.

Hi all - just because I have lots of children doesn't mean I like/am interested in other people's kids. Who on earth thought tin whistles and ocarinas was a good plan? (Could be worse, could be something up the church which is complete chore as it's a fair slog to get there.)

(Excelsior - thank you for my 'best answer', my first ever!)

It's about as good as the relatives who buy my dogs squeaky toys every Christmas ... hours of fun ...

[gness]

Sherr. I am closely related to the guy who brought ocarinas into the UK and is responsible for the spread throughout schools. Want me to sort him for you?

[sherrardk]

I'll hold off on the 'sorting out' for now (it might be bearable) but you should maybe have a word with him about how irresponsible he has been!

[gness]

Will do. He`s a little wary of me at the best of times so my assembly over the specs look will do for now.

[weecalf]

now if you had said whistle and flute that would suit

[nungate]

Glad to see the rain arrived as requested ;-)
Sorry, can't arrange anything to prevent the music festival, sorry, 'fraid you'll have to go.....
