The concert was fantastic; some amazing talent and showmanship. Music is a great strength of the school. A brilliant lead teacher and some fabulous peripatetic instrumental teachers too.
Friday was a welcome end to a long week and ended with drinks with the year 1 Mums. A surprisingly restrained evening for once!
Today, I have had one of my favourite days. It started with ballet (not me!) And a run. It was hot, but my route was shady.
Lunch was delicious and made from things in the cupboard. Including some Turkish Flat breads, which turned out well!
My 10YO loves a book (actually mine) which is full of ideas of thing to do from children's books. Her plan for today was to make butter. She and I had a wee trip into the village to buy cream; stopping off on the way back to sample a new cafe in the park.
The butter was a triumph, as were the scones she made to spread the butter on. We made the butter by shaking the cream in a pot with a marble for 20 minutes. Great to see the transformation happening before your eyes.
Last week a friend was telling me about an interview question she had heard which was "When are you at your best?" I've been thinking about it a lot this week.
I decided that my answer was; I am at my best in the kitchen with music up loud creating food for friends and family. It can be baking a cake or making lunch; I am content and in the moment then.
