This weekend
Today poor Pat is driving all day - Gwilym to saxo practice, Catrin to scouts, etc. etc.
I have the English class and two orders of service to sort out - an emergency one for the French service (I'm substitute for the scheduled guy who can't do it) and then for the service in English, which I am also leading. Ben's preaching, then the PowerPoint for the French service. We produce leaflets for the English one.
For the English class I have four students at varying degrees of proficiency, but all are great to have along and are good contacts. Next week being the last class of the year we may do something special involving scones if people are still around.
It's a quiet weekend.
It's la fête de la musique, and Gwilym is playing in an ensemble de saxos late tonight at Pessac Centre. I haven't told his teacher yet, but he wants to give up the saxo and rejoin his football club. However, the music school is now offering electric guitar so he's going to sign up for that. We are pleased because it'll mean he continues with music and because an electric guitar is much cheaper than a saxophone! The teacher has suggested buying cheap second-hand or Stagg - the local brand name for Chinese instruments. His best mate at school has suggested they form a band. He can"t play anything at all, apparently. Over-qualified, perhaps. I expect the teacher will form groups. They're also offering electric bass, but there is a limit.
