Whasblog

In America that’s where All of you already know this of course, but its hard to think of openings for blogs. I haven’t posted in a while so I felt like I should get down to it at least once while I’m over here.  Dad’s been at work most days, and I’ve been all on my lonesome but some semi interesting things have been done:

- last Friday I went to see an 87 year old Jazz pianist (or penis – thank you Adam ) called Dave Brubeck. I dont know if anyone here has heard of him, but he wrote Take Five which is a rather famous jazz piece  that I bet you’ve heard before *hums* see? Told you so He was very very old sounding (funnily enough) but also rather witty: “Do you remember *insert name of song about to be played here*?” Audience: “Yeah!” “Wish I did…”

Well it was funny at the time

- then on Sunday last week me and Dad decided to hotfoot it up to the wineries, which California is rather famous for. It was very pretty and green but BOILING. Quite fun/terrifying to whizz along these winding roads up the mountains withnobarrierattheedgeaaaaaaaaah. Luckily Dad managed to keep control of the car and it was all good. We collected some bottles from two different wineries ( sadly couldnt do any tasting – darned alcohol laws in America mean I cant drink till I’m twenty one – what’s up with that? I did eat a grape though *is sneaky*) and then went to another winery where we got last minute tickets for a Madeleine Peyroux outdoor concert there. Again I dont know whos heard of her on here but shes a singer and really really good. Probably not something for the boys, but girls I highly recommend her. We had a picnic on the hill side beforehand, with crackers and cheese and salame and, of course, large amounts of yummy wine that we had just bought. The supporting act was a gospel singer and everyone was clapping along and it was lots of fun ^^

I think I am rambling too much

Since then we havent reeeally done much, because Dad has to work. So I have been sitting at home. I’ve recently taken up crochet and am currently attempting a jacket! Ambitious, I think, perhaps too much so? It should be finished by the time I come back so you can laugh at it then

Finally, I found out the other day that I got 97% for my Waltz exam. Which is quite good I am pleased

Finally finally, I’d like to say yay for Adam passing his driving test – I have a chauffeur! Just joking dear

And thats all for now folks Hope this hasnt been too boring a post to read. Hope you are having a great time and I look forward to seeing everyone on the 9th ^^
