From 24 to 31 July
Piano News
Very much enjoying revising “Selling Sundry Goods”, composed by P.Chen and “ “Flood Time” composed by E. Thiman, both of which I began learning shortly before I broke my thumb a few years ago. At first, I wasn’t sure how my thumb would cope, however, I’ve only had to slightly amend my technique in order to add these inspiring pieces to my repertoire list and am loving my Piano playing.
Audio Book News
Begun listening to a physical book I read years ago, written by N.Gaiman, titled “Norse Mythology” and was immediately struck by the vast difference between listen and reading. 2 very different sides of the same coin, aren’t they? I remember enjoying this inspiring book when I read it, however, I feel listening provides a completely different slant. My thoughts are if you’ve not read or listened to this informative, well written and researched book and are interested in “Norse Mythology”, then go grab a copy or listen and prepare to be inspired.
Tutorials News
My this week’s plans consisted of reading prose I’ve already written in search of nuggets of valuable information to place in my tutorials and moving of items to their proper location. Have begun printing and breaking up other written sections in various places to form complete tutorials, leaving only Medical information for my actual book. Lots of work to to completed, however, lots of work still to be achieved, am loving the challenge. Once complete, I will go through the index page of what’s left of Medical Book and add relevant chapters as necessary.
Figure Skating News
Sadly due to our line being closed this week for planned engineering work, there is nothing to report in this section. Please move on to my next category of inspiring news, thanks!

First
Exciting times, looking great, eh!
General News
Very much enjoyed an express, efficient and pleasant service to the Isle of Wight on “Wight Links” “Fast Cat”. Unfortunately couldn’t take
Hovercraft as weather was a little windy, preventing services from running. Also sadly my planned returned journey was too late in the evening, fortunately it’s only a twenty two minute crossing.
However, enjoyed a lovely walk along the historic
Ryde Pier.
Really enjoyable walk around Ryde Town, glad I packed a light rain coast!
Enjoyed great food
and catch up with Cousin.
Another great aspect of the Isle of Wight is they have their own
Train service, which makes getting around the Island so much easier and more pleasurable.
All in all a lovely evening, walked just over 7 miles, which reminds me, what exercises do you enjoy?
Leaving me to ask, what have you achieved this week to inspire yourself, your family and others and what have you planned for your coming week? Do message me. Whatever you have planned I wish you the very best.

Enjoyable Piano lesson, lots of exciting work to be achieved! However, this week saw continued work to speed up “Carousel”, composed by S.Bodorova. “Lullaby (For Edna Hornbryce) composed by R.Yiu, early days for this piece, however, I feel I now have all the notes under my belt and am looking at beginning to speed this piece up soon. “Snow, Moon and Flowers”, composed by P.Sculthopre also all notes now under my fingers am a looking at speeding up the last movement over the forthcoming weeks. A good weeks progress, me thinks…onwards and upwards!

This week saw the beginning of serious practice for my forthcoming “Level 2 Skills” Test, although just how much I’ll be able to attend the Rink in the next few weeks I’m not sure due to line closures and overtime bans.

Tutorials News
Lots of great progress on Tutorials. This week I have continued to read old notes, print relevant sections for inclusion, combine all relevant subjects together and continue to edit new materials. Not there yet, however, very much getting there.
Piano News
Continuing to learn “Lullaby” (For Edna Hornbryce) composed by Raymond Yiu and very much enjoying practicing older repertoire.
Reading News
Finally completed
Scott And Amundsen, Their Race To The South Pole” - “The Last Place On Earth”, written by R.Huntford with introduction by P.Theroux. Thoroughly enjoyable book! Well researched, written in a straightforward and approachable manner for everyone to be inspired by. Certainly, it’’s not the shortest, however, I feel this book reflects their expeditions in detail allowing me to be drawn into their world, understand exactly what they went though and be inspired by their courage, fortitude and ability to survive and improvise when needed. Definitely recommended to you all.
Figure Skating News
The dreaded train strikes, however, thankfully managed to change my Figure Skating lesson and practice session day to avoid the impact, as a result enjoyed my lesson, practice and catching up with everyone. Have decided on and began working towards achieving my “Level 2 Skills Test”.
