Today I
spent all morning helping at the holiday club that my church is running this
week. The morning went well, but I nevertheless came home feeling rather tired.
Such events usually make me feel old! Kids – particularly kids gathered
together in large groups like that – just have so much energy! So I came home,
had some lunch and was planning to take a nap… but then my sister showed up.
With her violin. So this happened instead:
You probably
can’t tell from this picture, but my sister is using the metronome on the top
of my piano as her music stand. And I, being three inches shorter than her (and
also not wishing to be stabbed with her bow), am standing on the couch in order
to read the music over her shoulder. Apparently Mum found this humorous enough
to go and dig out her camera. You’d think she’d be used to our unorthodox ways
by now!
Anyway, we
had fun and I thought we sounded *mostly* pretty good, if I do say so myself. That
is, pretty good considering the fact that the little sis has only been playing
violin for a couple of months and that I taught myself clarinet after printing
a fingering chart off the internet… :-)
