West London chat into Spring

[sfxmum]

thought I would start a new one

hello

Kora glad you had a nice time and that 1st birthday was a success (relief)
CCTV saga goes on will not bore you, Weezer should be fun enjoy, love Brixton Academy

I am completely exhausted after a day out with dd's class visiting the tropical zoo. fun fact of the day, Boa Constrictor wee is solid, before my very eyes - amazing, also had a snake around my neck to put dd at easy, I hate snakes all the time I was shouting inside _ get off me, the things we do for our children

Solid wee = poo.

we were told most def it was a wee the other looks different and is rarer, it was quite a treat, apparently.
well worth a visit if you haven't already, staff were great

copper piano concertos seem to be a huge with children same for cello, not all of course but the tricky virtuoso showy ones catch their ear I find

Mozart, Shostakovich and Bach are quite accessible

DSs have had visits from the tropical zoo people too. They sound amazing. But I can probably forego the experience of holding creepy crawlies ...

I have heard of this Shostakovitch character. Apparently they have Shostakovitch festivals...

copper wonderful piece

feeling decidedly jaded this morning, talks of attempted child abduction at school, adding to it the bastard on the towpath and the bikes theft. not to mention the awful hone hacking people, just how lacking in decency are they?

anyway stuff to do Kew the music tonight hope it is dry

sfx - yes we saw the Han-na Chang version. Very easy to follow piece. What a wonderful thing youtube is.

The thing to do is not to enter into discussion with Daily Mail readers. And re: phone hacking I'm waiting for prosecution and verdict before thinking too much about it.

GP thinks I have lowish blood pressure and may be subject to feeling light-headed. I've never felt light-headed. Hungry all the time, perhaps, but not light-headed.

oh bollocks need to go back and have another transfusion, hospital rang today. Oh well on the upside they are fitting me in on MOnday and though it takes all day I won;t need to be in overnight.

I was overoptimistically putting the tiredness down to DIY and school trip-itis!

Thankfully DS very scared of anything alive which makes loud noises/is poisonous/has teeth/makes sudden movements so I was required to hold him rather than creepy animals...

Hello all

Kora - Happy Belated 1st birthday to your DD2! such a milestone. Enjoy the gig and glad you liked the book

Sfx - You're braver than I am holding the snake, I think I would've done a solid wee in that situation Enjoy concert

Booked Ds1 a few days in holiday club in summer, 1st day was free so I only paid for 2 others what a bargain!

Looking forward to parents drinks night tonight

Kew - good luck for hospital visit, hope all goes well

Have just realised why some really annoying person is playing their stereo at full blast in our street... enjoy Kew tonight sfx - the rehearsals sound good

At Kew Noisettes awesome weather holding, wine has been drunk

Hello!

Work work work.

Parents' evening today. Not very exciting ...

KewC sorry to hear hopefully all better for the Summer holidays?

copper I feel this will be a long hard slog until the holidays start, most official school business is done the rest is wait and play then a few start leaving

and btw HP starts showing next Friday, so shall we try to get it together and book something week starting 11th?
having said that can't do Mon&Tue

Can't do next week for HP, but go ahead if you all want to go!

DH went to parents' evening and came back to report:

DH to DS2: Your teacher is very happy with you.
DS2 : Is she delighted?

I guess she is ...

Modesty obviously not child's strong point. Funny they don't put that in the report.

Copper, lol at ds2's reaction

I can do 14 & 15, possibly 16 for HP, so excited!! Does anyone fancy going to the Westfield Vue?

Sfx, glad you had a nice time at Kew, did the weather hold?

tilly HP only released on 15th most sessions already sold out
I think we stand a better chance the following week but need to get booking

copper modesty can sometimes be a form of pride so therefore also a sin, or something, nuns told me that

Good morning!

Everything is a sin if you are a nun. We get nuns (as customers, not as products, obviously) in our local Waitrose. Posh nuns.

Next week no good for HP for me anyway. Week after possible. Happy with Westfield.

Week after fine with me but can only do Tues & Thurs that week

Has anyone been following the NOTW story? Don't think anything will change though

Right, must get ready, sports day today, am hoping rain holds off!

Did not follow NOTW story so speaking from a position of ignorance, but the thing sold because people bought it. After all this soul-searching after Diana ... Nothing is going to change.

NOTW yes people buy I don't care that they stalk celebs quite a lot of them call them up for photo ops meant to be candids, dirty world
but hacking phones of innocent people going through traumatic events for sensationalist purposes seems so very wrong

ok for HP at Westfield although just how big is the place? I have a real problem with being in dark room with loads of strangers, can just about cope with the Richmond big room but sometimes even there I hyper ventilate

good luck with sports day Tilly
