Well done Silent Ninja, meteorological wind assisted or not!

I acquired my first piano student today!!! I've been meaning to start teaching piano for literally years but have shied away from it. Practically everyone I know doesn't know what all the fuss is about, but I know fellow SA sufferers will appreciate how big a deal this is for me. I'm so happy. Nervous, but happy

[Professor Willow]

^ That's great Cheshire cat
Hope it goes well, it must be wonderful to be able to play an instrument so well that you are able to teach others.
I have owned a guitar for over ten years but never had the courage to find a teacher, books just aren't the same as one to one tuition.

[Cheshire Cat]

^thanks D1662!

Why don't you find a teacher if it's something you've been meaning to do? I'm sure you'd find your technique improves very quickly as the oral tradition is still the best way of learning, as the online tutorials can't communicate what a real person can. Good teachers can solve in 1 lesson technical problems that we may have been making worse, because practice isn't always about how much, but how. You don't have to, of course, and lots of guitarists are self-taught, but if it's something you've thinking about, why not give it a go? You don't have to go back again if you don't like it!!

I thought you was going to say somewhere abroad.
It does sound a bit scary but exciting at the same time

Rang to sort my debit card today. I was all confident 'n' stuff Apparently there was fraudulent behaviour from somewhere I shopped

[Oddity]

^^ I'm feeling quite confident at the moment so maybe I will I'll have to put on a flumpdon accent though, and I want 25%

Well done I'm sceptical about the chips though, the Bluebell railway do mouthgasmic ones

[Sunshine Recorder]

^That's great, Jinny

Today, I sent in the final assignment for my first OU module, so that's a huge weight off my shoulders.

I've also asked a friend/acquaintance about whether his line manager received a CV I sent. Not so easy for someone who very rarely sends messages to anyone.

I returned an item to the shops,I normally ask my mum to do it as I'm worried they will say I can't return something.

I like like looking at them (fae the bottom), I wouldn't like tae climb them if the lifts were fuked.

In saying that, I would rather climb them, than spend a night in Methil. :P

It is just the places in between the places that are nice IMO.

I suppose loads of places are shite, but Glenrothes is shiter than shite.

Would you add it to the forum?

i went for a quite long walk. i have barely been out of the house for the last few weeks so was good to get out again. i even smiled at a jogger who ran past me.

[Bambos]

^ Well done Eloise it's rough when you get stuck in for long periods.

This weekend I climbed Snowdon. I've not climbed anything before (bar the odd fence) so I was pleased to learn this was a thing someone like myself could do.

I also chose what was apparently the hardest route up. The reason for that remains unclear.

[Bambos]

^ Thanks. It was anything but clear at the top but the views on the way up and down were great. Did you do crib goch?
