Five

Packing medicines today. My carryon bag will rattle furiously. Lots of advice and "stop worrying" messages from folks. Actually, having Melanie and Dylan and the dogs here for the weekend while Jeremy went to the heavy metal Download Festival, has meant I have had no time at all to worry! Or sleep, for that matter! Discovered I have no bumbag - I refuse to call it what the Americans do - so may have to buy one tomorrow when I go to collect my iMac. They will be transferring all my stuff to the new computer and giving me a lesson on how to use the iMac. I may be some time. I need a good couple of hours practice tonight. Over the weekend I only managed 30 minutes. But, that was enough to play through each piece twice - almost perfectly, certainly the best yet. Feeling good about this. If I can play as well as that a week on Thursday I will be happy, even if I come nowhere.
