Housewife.

Okay, so I've been somewhat lax, I'm back now. I started my life as a housewife this morning by staying in bed til 11 and getting up to watch House Doctor. I have remembered to take the beef out of the freezer so am still managing to feel smug and productive! My last gig was yesterday - the Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House with the Royal Ballet Sinfonia - nice as that's the first professional orchestra I ever played with and it was a full house & reasonably short show (of course the most important thing). Did feel a little dizzy in the long slow bits but haven't had any trouble playing at all really. Managed a Mozart Piano & Winds the other week & needed only a few more breaths then I think I'd normally take.
Am now supposed to be counting kicks - must be at least 10 a day - but seems to be moving pretty much all the time so not concentrating too much. I seem to have been given everything we need already... Have put 2 binbags of 3+ months clothes into loft so far. Bought muslin squares on ebay last night & might have a look round Mothercare this week for bits & pieces such as newborn nappies & things we might have forgotten. Still on the list - rearrange bedroom so moses basked won't be right next to the readiator, wash all clothes and blankets we've been given, pack hospital bag & go to see the birthing centre. Hopefully have at least a month and a half to get it all done. Oh, and read all the books, of course. (Probably in the bath). (With chocolate).
