+1 I made flapjacks!
-10 The rain, it rains.
+3 I made these delicious things.
+2 Also, I made more raspberry sorbet.
+1 And I have blackberries for future!blackberry sorbet.
+10 My sister is visiting.
-5 I had to go to a school reunion.
+5 It was my sister's year's reunion, so none of my school"friends" were there.
+3 My dad won a prize for his sheep:

-3 He didn't win the overall Supreme Champion prize. Here he is with all the other loser sheep:

+20 Matt dug up LOADS of potatoes at the allotment.
-20 I couldn't be with him because I had to wait in for someone ALL DAY on the only sunny day of the week.
+50 There was an amazing thunderstorm last night.
-7 The congregation at church have stopped listening to the organ during hymns, which means they're often half a line ahead of or behind me. I pulled out nearly all the stops today, but it made no difference. I wouldn't mind if it was consistent, but they seem to randomly get faster in the middle of some hymns, slower in the middle of others, and every now and then they cut the long notes short by almost a whole beat. (You might be thinking that there's only one of me and dozens of them, that it's more likely that I'm getting it wrong but I'm really not. I have never, in all the years I've been an organist/accompanist/pianist, messed about with the rhythm to the extent that whole beats go missing.)
+7 I'm going to play so loud next Sunday that I won't be able to hear the congregation at all, and then it won't matter how out of time they are.
+15 I managed to channel a lot of the week's anger and depression into Operation De-clutter 2008, so the bedroom and living-room are wonderfully free of ornaments and junk. HURRAY!
-5 The ornaments and junk from the bedroom and living-room are piled up in the piano room and office. Oops.
-10 I am having a problem with Matt's family.
-100 Matt is sad about the problem.
TOTAL: -43
Yep. Feels about right.
