| The size of an envelope | September 16, 2012 | I cried on Tuesday afternoon when I arrived home from work. All because of the size of an envelope. I shall explain. When you enter students into music exams in the AMEB they do their exam and then you have to wait for about a week and half for the AMEB to process the results […] |
| saccharine promos make me ill | August 25, 2012 | Sunday again? Already?Sadly, I have no tales of incident-packed personal grooming for you today. I managed to shave my legs again yesterday without any leftover salad hijinks. It’s been a week of busy busy busy. Next weekend my piano students have their AMEB exams. For the first time in many years I have more than […] |
| Yes we all wear glasses | July 15, 2012 | The first two weeks of July also happen to have been the first two weeks of the teaching term here. They have whipped by in a flurry of Moodling frustration, parts of speech, sentence structure, emails and discussion forum posts and replies. The only thing that kept me going last week was the knowledge that […] |

| piano reductions | June 17, 2012 | This *is* the post for Saturday June 16 despite what the date on the post says. Last night’s concert went smoothly.

Piano reductions of orchestral scores are not the friendliest things at the best of times but this one is particularly […] |

| At least I’m not standing in sewage | June 10, 2012 | It’s not having to answer the front door in my pyjamas that I mind so much. It’s the crazy bed-hair that goes with wearing my pyjamas that goes with it. This morning was the third time in about a month that I’ve had to answer the front door in my afore-mentioned PJs. It’s ok. They’re […] |
