Or maybe it really is just that he finds it cooler there.<br />That is a wonderful idea to get into more piano playing and I wish you well with it.<br /><br />We had a lovely visit with our son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter and they stayed a couple of nights since there is no school yet. The weather behaved so that they were able to enjoy the beach for 3 days! DS and DDIL went down there again on Sunday evening and saw a shooting star, but yesterday evening we all played an interesting board game which kept us up quite late until unexpectedly I won!Bushladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-20909162251494122982018-08-07T09:50:40.921-07:002018-08-07T09:50:40.921-07:00Yes, being prepared the night before is best.

It would have bothered me as well if I did not have all my ducks in a row before going to bed the night before the appointment with the financial advisor. Anything could have happened in the morning to keep you from being ready and I don't like taking that chance.<br /><br />Dancer looks so comfortable on that cool tile floor. I once had a cat long ago who used to curl up in the bathroom sink when the temperatures got really warm. I guess the cold porcelain was just the ticket for staying cool.

I started teaching myself some years ago, was doing well but then had to put it to one side when I became a carer for my late partner and simply didn't have the time or the energy. I've had a few half hearted attempts since he died but life keeps getting in the way. Now I've retired I've decided that there really is no excuse and will make the time to do some daily practice. It's now or never!Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.com
