Aww thanks,
I have to say though, the exam was an ordeal rather than an experience, but I am glad I did it. Busy practising for grade 2 now - they sent the entry form with the certificate!!!!!! I have to say, I practis for at least an hour a day, and then play for pleasure whenever I can - cooking the tea, etc. it does drive my husband mad, he bought me a violin mute for Christmas, so he can hear the TV! I have tried to persuade him to buy me an electric one, you can wear ear plugs with those, so only I can hear it!!!!! I could play more then!
Liz, I took my bike test just after I had my first daughter, 13 years ago, I felt fantastic - well done you. I rode a 1948 Douglas for a few years, and loved it, but my arthritis in my knees has put an end to this!
Gargoyle, I love you! child psychologists! Pah! Amber LOVED the competition and was elated that she beat me - please tell me you are not one of those who wants non-competitive sports at schools.......well, lets be honest.......whats the bloody point of competing? Life is one big competition, I am always setting myself challenges, they are not necessarily pitted against others, but it sure as hell is great when you beat that challenge - and it makes my life more interesting!
Cheers and go do it, stop thinking one day I will........
Oh abnd Cats, the food was excellent last night, thanks. Your cheese and crackers were just that, and immense fun!
