J said piano exam went ok except scales which went a bit wrong. Oh well just hoping he's got through. His pieces sounded very nice when he was practising in the waiting room. The candidates were all complaining that the piano in the exam room was a lot more sensitive than in the waiting room which threw them slightly. Musicians just have to put up with these things I suppose.
Has been distinctly cold here at times. P and J have both got the sniffles and J really not at all well today but at least it's now the holidays and he managed to get his 100% attendance certificate for the term - that's two terms in a row - yay! As quite a lot of next term will be study-leave hopefully he'll get the jackpot.
Yesterday P and I went to the 'Easter Tea' at the village school. The children did some dancing and were sooo cute. Haven't been into the school for ages, saw several people from old church, bought some cakes, Easter eggs and damson jam.
After a quick trip to the Co-op we went into town to get a birthday present for someone. I also wanted to pop into the Oxfam Shop to look at their fair trade eggs. The shop has quite a steep step, they will get a wheelchair ramp if you ask but P being an intrepid pusher never does although it is very tricky as the door opens inwards and won't stay open by itself. Anyway as he tipped me backwards to get up the step the wheelchair overbalanced and kept on tipping backwards until there I was with my head on the pavement and my legs in the air surrounded by a circle of concerned shoppers. In trying to let me down gently P cut his finger and I slightly strained my back but otherwise we were ok. Just really embarrassing though.
