It's very quiet here at the moment, Esther is on an 8th grade trip to Springfield, IL, to visit all the Lincoln stuff, Alan is in NYC being very busy and important, Josh and Nathan are at scouts also being busy and important, and Matt is in the house somewhere probably studying rigorously for his AP exams (!). I should be studying for my midterm next week but, well, you know how it goes... I'm having an evening off while completing a highly urgent game of solitaire.

I'm listening to a Welsh male voice choir cd - there is something about the heart of the singing and the wonderful harmonies that really make me feel homesick and long for the valleys.... one day we'll get back there and plant our church... The Froncysyllte Male Voice Choir released an award winning CD last year - I keep meaning to get myself a copy.

School will be out in just a very few weeks, that is so scary! Can't believe that Matt will be graduating High School at the end of this month - am I really old enough to have a child who has left school? something is wrong somewhere! I haven't given the summer much thought - what shall we do? I'd like to go away somewhere as a family but finding somewhere that pleases everyone is not that easy. I shall have to give this some serious thought before it's too late ... well, even later than it is now...

Well, this was a rather random posting! This computer is behaving badly and is only printing what I've written a good few seconds after I've typed it - very distracting. The other computer has got a virus and refuses to do any work for anyone (I had a virus earlier this year so I know exactly how it feels!). We are all hoping that Alan can fix it when he stops being so busy and important in New York - we are really missing itunes!
