Dear me!
Nearly phoned the office today to tell them that I refuse to teach in my Monday afternoon school. I had a mutiny from year 4, because violin is now at the same time as puzzle club and I'm not as nice as Mrs Bowen, and they will only carry on doing violin if they can play Au Clair de la Lune every week for the rest of their lives and never do any practice. All apart from Molly, who is a good little creep and likes me very much.
There was a sausage on the floor where I was teaching today. And a squashed baked bean. And eventually I found out that I could have been teaching in the library after all. I only found that out when I was told I couldn't use the staff room after I'd moved from the kitchen. Do you see the problem?
Saw my part time grownup pupil this morning to run through the stuff she's doing in her chamber music club. Sad to lose a morning off, but she's never hard work - which is why I haven't told her that I've put my fees up.
At the end of the after school group, the office phoned me. Julia wants me to be the mug who leads the massed violins into battle next month. She will 'have a chat' about my problem school. She also wants to hijack my after school group for extra rehearsals. Well - that's OK I suppose - at least I'll get a reasonable number turning up.
Finally did a bit of practice before my lesson tomorrow. Ooh dear. I really should have had that bow rehaired. Still - see what happens...
