Saturday
It was band practice this morning and it was lovely to see everyone again. The good news was that the standard of playing hadn't really dropped, mainly due to the amount of practice the majority of the children had done during the holidays - it's amazing how the chance to win a box of chocolates for doing the most practice during the holidays encouraged them to do some playing! The not so good news was that we may be losing two of our players. It's devastating news and I hope we can persuade both of them to change their minds.
I had to stop playing part way through the morning when my eyes started to hurt. I haven't played properly for a long time now so will attempt some daily practice, starting with a 15 - 20 minute session, and gradually increase the length of time. I'm hoping it's due to a lack of stamina/practice rather than an issue with the recent eye problems. I was also very tired and fell asleep on the sofa when I got home, so it could a combination of things. I will go back to the optician if the problem continues though.
This afternoon, I've just been doing as little as possible! A quick check of the TV guide revealed that the first Harry Potter film is on later so I'll summon up the energy to do the bits and bobs that need to be done and then watch that.
Olá Eileen,
ReplyDeleteEspero que seja mesmo só cansaço dos olhos.
Desejo um bom serão assistindo ao filme.
Abraços e bom domingo e semana.

Thanks Ailime. I too hope it is just eye strain and will soon pass.
Delete"Desejo um bom serão assistindo ao filme"! A tradução não me parece correta, por isso repeti;))!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I understood what you were saying. I did enjoy the film, thanks.
DeleteI hope your eyes hurting is not an indication of more eye problems, Eileen. Definitely get it checked if it continues. Hope you were able to get your "bits and bobs" accomplished and enjoyed the rest of the evening watching the movie. I've watched them all with my daughter!
ReplyDeleteFrom how I'm feeling this morning I wonder if it might be a sinus problem. If so, that would definitely make playing painful for me, so I'll see how it is when I practice later on.
DeleteYes, all my bits and bobs were done before I settled down to watch the film. They're showing all of them again so at least there'll be something to watch for the next seven Saturdays.
