Enough!

Do you ever feel so overwhelmed by stuff, you virtually grind to a halt?

I took mum into the care home for a few days this morning. When we left home she seemed ok - I'd explained I had a concert and was also picking up our new puppy. But she wasn't happy I was steering her out of the front door and into my van ..  as we drove there she was doing her panicky breathing and looking very grey. When we arrived she looked with horror at the building.

It took a lot of getting her in and trying to settle her down - she wouldn't look at me at all when I tried to jolly her up a bit, and would only angrily say 'Just go, just go'

A bit more Maisie shopping ... a lot of hanging around in the house not being kept informed whether or not a flooring chap was coming to check out the kitchen floor situation ..

I feel wrung out. I play so seldom that I really need to do a lot of practise to stop feeling rusty - but with all the last minute distractions, I haven't ..  so I'm feeling a bit daunted by tomorrow's concert too.

Pfffttt ..

Here's Roger, next door's Bengal cat, wondering what I was doing (trying to play the bassoon)

Here's a video of foxy life in the garden today ..
