Having just finished planning this coming weekend, I thought I’d mention that the Easter Day service (31st March) went well. Our lady organist - JP - did her usual fine job of accompanying the service and my two small contributions were generally appreciated by those I saw afterward. We don’t have 100% acceptance of ‘trumpets in church’, but it is only once in a while and Father Desmond likes it From my point of view, I played well which shows that it was worth the preparation in the week or so beforehand (I certainly needed it...)
So, this coming Saturday I’m hoping to get round to church, after a few morning ‘errands’ at the local shops, with a chance of meeting our newly appointed organist and of introducing myself (and my trumpet!).
Sunday more or less sees a repeat of 24th Feb when I will be taking Mum and Dad to Aston Abbots to visit Mum’s friend Christine. I then go on to Luton to see my friend Richard with Pizza E being the preferred lunch (as always) and I am certainly looking forward to it… (yum yum)
Meanwhile I have started work on the next pair of assessments for S104, with preparatory reading being done for both these and also for TMA02 for DD131 and it looks like I need to get the S104 work out of the way fairly soon. I have to do one before the other as I can’t really see me doing both together in the two weeks leading up to the (nearly) coinciding deadlines of 7th and 8th May. After this it will be S104 revision time and with the exam scheduled for 4th June I think will be difficult to ‘cram’ it all in. Still, statistically (with allowance made for a drop in percentage for exam results) I have a chance of passing, albeit a slim one!
April's work and play...
