Whatever else you do today (hello! I'm writing this a day late on Thursday: better late than never) go and vote. I don't care who you vote for, just vote. And if there's nobody you want to vote for, go and spoil your ballot. Spoilt ballots get counted as well, and can be a form of protest. On to Wednesday Wind Up. I've had a bit of a slow wake up this week, I think I either have a water infection or a cold, I find it so hard to get out of bed and into work. Or perhaps the sunny mornings just make me wish occasionally I was still a SAHM. Oh, the things I could do with a few days at home now! Never mind, that's not my season. I work 9 to 4 most days, so that's what I do. What am I reading this week? I finished reading Gone Viking by Helen Russell. It was funny, and touching, and all the things I wanted it to be. A good happy read, so that was fun. I also finished Happy by Fearne Cotton. It was interesting: while I was reading it, I could hear Fearne...
I've never seen Matilda so I don't know that song but I've just listened and it's lovely. 99p treats can be just as good as £99 ones.
ReplyDeleteI thought of your Eleanor as I was listening; she has the soft, sweet voice that this needs. Will she ever go into the recording studio again? And I hope she keeps up her singing at university.
DeleteThe year 6 at school did Matilda for their end of term production. It is really good, a family musical in all ways. I've been waiting until I could justify it to get it. And 99p is good value!
Eleanor's singing teacher retired just as she finished Year 11 and with the pressure of A Levels, she never got round to finding another. It's a shame really as she'd reached Grade 6, there were only two more grades to do. She also gave up the youth theatre at this time for the same reasons. She still continually sings in the house though and who knows what societies she'll join at uni. I'm sure she will go in the recording studio again at some point, she really enjoyed it.
DeleteBoth my two loved the story and movie. I've never considered the musical for them though an they both like the theatre. May have to investigate further.
