Began Thursday evening with the Year 13 Graduation (apart from a road rage incident on the way home).
Continued with receiving the first Special Cake from Heather, celebrating 25 years of continuous service (minus six weeks after bowel op) (by the way, had a delicious carrot cake baked by L that afternoon)...
Fri am morning tea with Eileen and the Tech Crew and various "hangers-on" (Maria, Theo, Rosemary), at which the teaching cake was cut...
Fri pm senior prizegiving - once again the Head Boy is a bloke with a high Music profile (who this year has produced some excellent rap pieces), James Tomasi.
Fri ppm "meeting" with Lee at Burger King, where we made our plans for taking over the world (or at least developing music at OC).
Fri pppm party with GOOD FRIENDS who have known me long and supported us especially well over the last 8 months (including a reprise of the blonde wig and heels costume to the music of Hot Chocolate - you had to be there...) PLUS another gorgeous cake from Heather (photo appears on this site), this time for the 3 events (cancer battle, teaching and marriage).
Saturday - anniversary meal, cooked by Andrew, ably assisted by Sophie (who of course went all the way to look the part and set the scene and complete the dream) and Alexander ("they can't eat all that"..."McDonald's would be cheaper")...thanks, guys!
And NZ thru to the World Cup Finals of REAL Football...
Also visit from Carla and Paul, bearing gifts - Bill Bailey's "Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra", including "Cockney influences on Classical Music", tributes to Chris de Burgh, Bryan Adams, Prog Rock, and a "Belgian Jazz" lol version of the Dr Who theme (Docteur Qui)...you HAVE to see this!
Sunday - church (viola time), recital by Steven (his final - lovely Debussy and Rachmaninov in particular), worship leaders' meeting (we NEED sound tecchies!) and viewing "Brothers and Sisters" (tv drama with Mary Tyler Moore) and "The Staircase" (a rivetting doco about a death - was it a murder or an accident???).
Which brings us back to you and me here on the blogsite.
Time for a sleep soon!
Catch you later (tomorrow?),
Gerald.
