I feel good about today :) I had pancakes for breakfast (trying Anugs's recipe) and failed very well at flipping my pancakes - not one of them came out right! I don't like his pancakes as much as mine - they're too bland cos I grew up with pancakes with butter in them. If you're curious, it's 300mL milk to 2 eggs to 1 cup of self raising flour. Let it rest for minimum an hour - a day is better. But anyhow, so I went to my bassoon lesson which went really well :) I sightread the bassoon excerpts for Prokofiev's Classical Symphony which I heard the SSO do last Thursday so that was nice. Alison was really pleased with my playing, which makes me happy. Did some extra practise this week, that's why! I should keep it up, makes me happy. Also, my air useage is getting better. She didn't rat on about me breathing more than I need today which was also good. Been working on it. Also, I can get further through my warmup book that I could before so YAY! We worked on everything but the Mozart today, which was nice but I need to do some more work on the Mozart as it's my yearly piece, heh.
After that, I bought a zipper for Fiona's dress, finally. I'll work on it tomorrow or the next day. Might be riding with Jeansie tomorrow! Yay! I walked for 35-40 minutes across the city which was lovely to the State Library which was JUMPING. SERIOUSLY. WOW. Anyhow, I got 2 and a half exercises of maths done which is good, so now I'm only two and a half exercises behind (plus two or three other exercises from other chapters that I've missed), hooray! I had a chicken sammich for lunch which was deeleesh and I got a coffee halfway through. The only time I'm caffeining it up anymore is at libraries. Woo! I'm proud of being so productive :) And a lovely scottish sounding man was packing up his stuff as I went and asked if I could use the table and he was nice and then an older english man came and read the paper sitting on the other chair and then a middle aged lady who had just been to Dymocks came and sat and read about learning Spanish (I think, I didn't have my glasses on) in the chair. It was very nice and the english man kept an eye on my stuff while I went to the loo and got some coffee. :)
Coming home was nice too, read my book on the train and I felt like I looked really nice today. Symphony in blue! :) If I ever run a fashion blog, if I do what I was wearing today I will name to post that. ^_^ Um, so yeah! This evening I did the zip for Fiona's dress and the facings around the neck - the armholes are pinned but I'll wait until tomorrow to do them because otherwise I'm worried I'll screw them up.
Tonight I also discovered an amazing jazz pianist - Taylor Eigsti. Check him out (youtube is a good shot), he's awesome! Listening through his trio's album 'Taylor's Dream' and it is ahhhmayyyyzing.
