Spread your wings and fly away

this was done in my married, name, there isn't much.

My maiden name didn't bring up anything at all when I googled it lol

So here goes:

I am a composer who lives in Portsmouth.
I am a Professor of Music at Leicester University.
I cry when I hear the music to Armageddon and I love West side story
I play hockey and Netball and I enjoy Long Distance Running (at this i was rolling around in laughter )
I am scared of anything that wriggles (hmm interesting)
I appear in the Sims
According to a relation my wedding was good fun
I was home schooled
I enjoy Scuba Diving

And that is all folks, and it was hard finding that much about my name lol

My april fool started yesterday.

it was my youngest son's fault really, he gave me the idea.

He was sulking and moaning about going back to school.

"Got to go back tomorrow" he said.

"Have you?" Said I

"Yes, teacher training today and school tomorrow"

"I don't have to go back until next week" says eldest son

"Oh no it is so not fair!" exclaimed youngest stamping his foot.

So yesterday I made him have a bath and hair wash, get his uniform ready and his bag.

This morning he came into my room looking glum.

"Have you had your breakfast yet?" says I

"No"

"Well you better get a move on if you are going to school today" I says pushing him out of the bedroom, closing the door and climbing back into bed.

And bless him, he did get ready to go to school, banging on the door when it was time to leave with an anxious "hurry up mum or we'll be late"

"April fool" I muttered!

We don't go back till next week.

he is one very happy child now lol

Both my children go swimming.

One belongs to a club that does competitive swimming. He goes not to compete, he has no interest in that, but because it is challenging, increases his stamina and keeps him fit. He is an excellent swimmer.

The other one goes to a different club at the same pool, where he is learning to swim. He can be a strong swimmer. He used to go to a different group until I found out that he did 400meters and got a certificate, yet all he could do was doggy paddle and kept stopping to take a breather! Like many others in that group, I decided to move him to the one he is currently at and a lot cheaper as well.

The clubs split at the end of last term. Apparently there was a bit of a falling out and so the club that youngest went to was closed until things were sorted out.

Yesterday there was a meeting about the future of this club, which is now up and running again but under a different name and at a different pool. There is still a dispute but the important thing is classes have started up again, the only downside is the days have been changed but we will work through that.

I paid for next terms lessons. Hubby said I should have got a discount.

"Why?" says I

"Well the bloke taking the meeting kept looking and smiling at you throughout"

"Yeah he did. He is quite nice but better looking in clothes than out of them" says I

"What?"

"remember he swims for the club, speedos are not a good look you know"

Needless to say one club has, as the saying goes, cut its nose off to spite its face, particularly as they rely on the swimmers of one group to move onto their group which they will now lose.

In the meanwhile I feel caught between the two. One because youngest has done so well in the group he is in there was no question that I wouldn't join him up for lessons when I found out they had found a new venue. Two my other son goes to the club swimming run by the other club which I am reluctant to make him leave as it is to his benefit to remain there.

Think I will keep my head low just in case, things could turn nasty.

In other news, the sun here is shining away nicely, though there are big black clouds on the horizon. I am going to tackle that ironing pile today as soon as I have had my weetabix and a cup of tea or two.

Hope all are well
