Today, I drowned my sorrows about my car by getting a taxi to the pub. I won a pool competition and got £15, and a mug that says "August pool champ". What is it about violinists who like playing snooker eh??!! Oh, and my friend recorded a 5 min. performance of me playing czardas, on his phone! It was such fun, especially because I havent played that piece in 3 years and it felt so easy compared to what I am practicing now. I guess that when you practice daily you dont easily realise what progress you actually make.

You said I guess that when you practice daily you dont easily realise what progress you actually make. That's great! I'll tell it to all my students (and remind myself)

...unless you're John Lanceley. Then you improve by long stretches, just like his spider fingers.
