(I'm in the last stages of a migraine so what follows will not be the most elegant prose.)
We've finally got broadband, which means my pupils' parents will no longer complain that they can't get through whenever they try to phone to rearrange lessons. Is this a good thing? I haven't decided yet. Of course, the broadband being up and running does coincide with the death of the phone. It's still trying to ring, but the sound is so feeble that you have to be right next to it, sitting in silence, to hear it.
We didn't get broadband just to appease a lot of anxious parents, though (at £1 each day it's too high a price for just that), but also because Matt's eBay art venture is beginning to take off, and it was taking him a long time to upload his pictures each day. Just look at all the pictures he's selling: link here!
The allotment is a mess. I picked the last of the tomatoes today, and brought home the last of the onions. We have a piddly little amount of potatoes, two meals' worth of beans, and a LOT of broccoli. It's lucky I like broccoli.
I'm taking my Grade 2 Jazz exam next Monday -- a little bit nervous, even though it's only Grade 2, because I can't get the hang of how to improvise in the first piece. Hey-ho. I'll simply have to amaze him with everything else I can do.
Made more chutney over half-term, bringing the total up to twenty jars now. We had to transfer them from the overhead cupboard because it was beginning to sag with all the weight...
Also finally got back to doing some writing, after a two month hiatus. Hopefully this is the start of another little patch of productivity. Matt's doing NaNoWriMo, which should also help, given how competitive I am.

Outside: Dark dark all is dark
Inside: Vegetarian shepherd's pie, and hot chocolate once I've finished this entry
Reading: "All American Girl: Ready Or Not" by Meg Cabot
Piano: Mozart Sonata in B flat major, and other stuff, and I was not too shabby!
