It's time for another Round of Letters where I address absent friends, inanimate objects, abstract concepts and non-present people who have annoyed or pleased me!
Dear Year 5,
For the most difficult year group in the school, you sure did well in your music lesson today! Your sea shanties were excellent and are now stuck in my head!
Dear Year 2 Music Club,
Your behaviour was shockingly bad! How can 7 year olds be so utterly disobedient and rude. I certainly won't be asking some of you back to the club next term because you can't be bothered to listen.
Dear R,
You are such a talented boy! I cannot believe the sound you make on your recorder. Please, oh please, do not lose that enthusiasm and zeal for music that you have when you go to Secondary school! I gladly give up my lunchtime to help you become a better musician!
Dear Vaillant,
I am not impressed that your leaking evil boiler managed to get inside our underfloor heating box and short out the system. Why should we have to pay £350 for an engineer to come and fix our electric box because your stupid boiler caused the problem.
Dear Heating,
I miss you.
Dear mini-fan heater,
You are my champion- thank you for warming up the room we are in. The trouble is, I don't want to leave this room!
Dear Sun,
Whatever you can do, just do it but please stick around!
Dear Mini Daffodils,
Why HELLO!!! What a surprise it was to see you poking your heads out of the raised herb bed in the garden.
Dear Brambles behind the fence,
We will find SOME way to vanquish you, even if we have to somehow get permission from Network Rail to allow us to go beyond our fence towards the railway line!
Dear WOMOTM,
Talking to J today, I am struck by the sadness and strangeness of you not being there for Easter when we go up. I think of you often.
Dear Washing,
Do yourself please.
Dear Hello Fresh,
Much as I have enjoyed your meals, never have I been more reluctant to get in the kitchen and cook! Sorry, but way too faffy! We won't be having you again!
Dear Wardrobes,
Can't wait to see you united with your doors! Exciting!
Dear Steak,
It's now 10pm. I guess I should cook you!

Friday letters
 |
It's time for another round of greeting inanimate objects like old friends, whinging about absent individuals or just generally pretending I am having a conversation with someone through the old typed missive method! Make of it what you will!
Dear E,
Thank you for behaving in my lessons and being such a sweetie. I don't know what I've done to be immune to your very trying ways that you plague other teachers with but I am grateful that you liking for me leads you to be a pleasure to teach.
Dear C,
I win- Coffee tin drum it is.
Dear Thai restaurant,
I am perplexed by the difference in the same Prawn Thai curry I had last Friday and this. Last Friday, 4 (possibly 5) pathetic shrivelled excuses for a prawn and then today- 8 big, succulent, tenderly cooked ones. Last week, a real dearth of vegetables, this week, loads. I am grateful for this week's offerings but why the great difference?
Dear Darbuka drum,
WHY have I got a large bruise on the palm of my hand?!!?!? How does that even work!?!?! It HURTS! How dare you injure me like this.
Dear Kids who religiously comment on my school blog,
I feel so happy every morning when I come into 10 new comments on it daily! Thank you for making it worth my while putting up those blog posts!
Dear Dinosnore,
I am sorry that CBC is so mean to you! He is just jealous because I love you lots. I'll sneak you back onto the bed when I creep in later.
Dear TA's,
Thank you for the AMAZING Divali treats you prepared for us today! Yes, I did enjoy eating spicy veg samosas for breakfast! Happy Divali!
Dear WOMOTM and J,
YAY, I can't wait to see you soon!!!
Dear Half-Term,
I am so relieved to greet you, even though it feels strangely premature,
Dear Throat,
Don't you even DARE to pull a sickie!
Dear Blog friends,
Thank you for being the constant source of support in my life- I do appreciate your friendship, empathy, appreciation and being kind to me!
Dear Sophie in the Sticks,
Thank you so much for sending me that wonderful book! I am loving it so far!

Friday letters
Dear All,
It is time for another Friday letters. I should point out, which I often fail to do, that this wasn't my idea- it was an idea that I read on a blog somewhere a while back- it was a proper link up and then I forgot about it and then Bev at Confuzzledom reminded me of it by her consistent competition of it!
Dear Books I have read,
I am so sorry I am so loathe to review you. It is nothing personal, it is just that I have got behind with it all and I have about 40 books to review and understandably, the whole task is a bit daunting. Please bear with me and perhaps forgive me if I skip a few of you.
Dear Children at school,
Thank you for your hard work this year. Especially nice polite ones. Ones who do not listen, I will try to get less grumpy with you if you try to be more polite.
Dear Children who gave me presents and cards,
I was overwhelmed with all the kind gifts. Thank you so much for your generosity in the large amount of boxes of chocolates which no doubt will last 10 years!
Dear Child who cried,
Thank you for truly caring. I realise that you don't show your emotions much.
Dear Child who swore at another child,
How refreshing it was, when I asked if you had sworn at him,you responded immediately- "Yes, I did, but I honestly didn't know it was going to come out my mouth- I was just so angry with him and he wouldn't listen." You did the wrong thing and as I said, you should not be using that kind of language, but I am so used to adamant, angry denial and deflection that it was very pleasant to be able to get straight to the point instead of the usual denials and rudeness.
Dear Parent who handed me a kitkat
That was a sweet thing for you to do, to see my coming as you stood there with a present for another teacher and suddenly feel that you wanted to give me something. It really wasn't necessary, I don't need any more chocolate but thank you for the gesture. TAs that I mentioned it to, I really appreciated the gesture but was embarrassed by them feeling the need to give me something- I don't need anything more!
Dear Vendors of house,
HURRY UP!
Dear Mummykins,
I haven't seen you for weeeeeeeeeeks! Hopefully we can get round to you with birthday presents asap!
Dear House,
If you could just tidy yourself, I would be grateful.
Dear Moths,
Be gone or you will die! You cannot eat my carpet or clothes.

Friday letters
It's time for another Friday letters! Yes, I do so love to address people or objects rhetorically- it makes me feel even more eccentric than I already am!
Dear Year 5,
Today was one of my favourite lessons. I LOVE teaching the first lesson about how to make chords on an instrument. I always love how totally and utterly animated you are by it and how you love applying the rules of chord building with great alacrity! Hurrah!
Dear Year 1,
You better remember the names of those 4 South American instruments next week or else!?!?!?
Dear Year 2 music club,
Ahrgh, why are you so hyper?!?!?!?! Please just calm down a bit!
Dear Year 4,
Thank you for ALL improving your Ravel-inspired pieces so utterly brilliantly! It was hard choosing a winner!
Dear Lisa,
You absolute darling! Thank you so much for your kind parcel! I never cease to be amazed by the kindness of my lovely blog friends!
Dear Londoners or South-east dwellers,
Fancy seeing an exciting orchestra concert in Nottinghill tomorrow night featuring a sublime violinist and a really nasty Czech fairytale told in musical form, then head over to www.kco.org.uk to find out more? I am playing 1st flute and it is lovely!
Dear Man on the train,
I am sorry if I frightened you by telling you you should have carried your plastic water bottle home to recycle rather than putting it into the bin. Thank you for conceding that you should indeed have done, promising to do so next time and not shouting at me for my friendly audacity!
Small steps to change lazy habits people. Someone has to be the voicer of thoughts!
Dear Love and Peace Tea rose,
Thank you for returning to me again. I remember seeing you, in the same spot, bloom before all your other rose bush team members and being amazed at your amazing sunset beauty! Thank you for returning and thrilling me yet again.
Dear Rain,
Thank you for coming, we needed you! Let's hope some reservoirs get filled up again and wheat is watered. However, can you go and listen to when the farmers tell you to stop.
Dear Thai Restaurant,
I really want to visit you.You are my Friday night delight. Better wake prone, slumbering husband from sofa.
Dear People we are buying a house from at some point, hopefully,
Please find a house you want to buy soon, we are waiting patiently. We would like to move at some point. Please also don't get cold feet and decide you like your lovely home.
Dear Swimming Pool,
Here's hoping I get there early again in the morning- I feel like a swim!
Dear Abellio Greater Anglia trains,
Why have you been so up the creek for the last two days? Especially when it is rainy and I want to go home. If you are going to be delayed, at least make it to half an hour so I can claim some money back!
Dear Bloggy friends,
Thank you for your consistent friendship and alacrity at what I post. It does mean a lot to me!
Dear Lemon, almond and pear cake,
I am sorry for unfairly maligning your name before trying you. It was indeed a case of Green Eggs and Ham! Need to stop being so fussy about sweet consumables!

Friday letters
It's time for a round of Friday letters where I address absent individuals who will never read this, inanimate objects, moments and memories! I like them very much!
Dear Friday night,
I dooooo so love you! Thank you for being so faithful and returning to me each week!
Dear Thai Food,
Yes, yes, I will eat you soon! Fear not!
Dear E in Year 4 class,
When you put your hand up to say that "You've taught us 4 new words because you are a brilliant teacher who likes to teach lots of words," my heart melted. You may be a complete crawler but I don't care- I treasure those moments and comments!
Dear Gargantuan Avocado,
Thank you for providing me with lunch for 4 days-I did so enjoy spreading you all over rolls and toast and smothering you in black pepper!
Dear J,
AHHHHHHHHA, I have cracked you! You have finally enjoyed a book AND I chose it for you! Ha ha, see, reading can be fun!
Dear Children and Parents of today,
I know I am not talking to everyone, but I wish there was a bit more commitment rather than this general lethargy and malaise about persevering with something and just giving up at the drop of a hat. It does dishearten me, sadden me and worry about the future if you can't stick of something.
Dear Garden,
I do so love you! Can't wait to give you some TLC this weekend- you've grown rather rampantly!
Dear Foxy,
It was very nice to see you slink by the patio door window last - now can you stay and be a cute pet fox! However, I wasn't happy at the BIN bag being spread all over the front garden! Be tame and you shall feast on the finest fare in the land!
Dear Rail replacement buses,
Why have you been sooooooooooooooo slow this week!??!?! I cannot wait until you go away and I get trains all the way to work again!

Friday letters
Dear Friday
Seriously, I know I am always so glad when you come to visit each week, but this week, my gratitude knows no bounds!
Dear Friends (and that includes YOU lot!),
Your kindness and support this week means SO much to me!
Dear Year 4 class (minus one),
Thank you so much for behaving so well today in music and being such a cheerful and hardworking lot when I had a visitor from another school coming to observe a lesson. You did me proud. Except one- YOU were SOOOO rude and annoying!!!!
Dear E in year 4,
Your sheer enthusiasm and delight over obtaining the 'Ice Fire' book was a sheer delight, I am very glad I introduced you to a series you love so much and I do so like our book discussions!
Dear Year 1,
Equally, I was really proud of you learning to play the Lullaby in two keys so beautifully during your lesson. It really did sound good and you worked hard. You thoroughly deserved your two points!
Dear Year 5 group,
Yes, thank you for getting your really annoyingly catchy sea shanty, "Let's get drunk with a bottle of rum." stuck in my head! Please don't sing it to your parents otherwise they'll think it's MY fault!
Dear Mummy,
Looking forward to seeing you in the morning!
Dear Tummy,
Please stop. Now.
Dear Work colleague,
Thank you for my lovely bar of chocolate as a result of #40acts. I did laugh when I arrived with a bag full of mini chocolate bars to fill the pigeon holes and discovered that in the meantime, you had sneaked a Galaxy into my school bag with #40acts hashtag on it! Very glad I told you about it
Dear Nice,spacious houses in town we want to live,
Please could you persuade your owners that they no longer love you any more and want to leave. Could you also make them feel benevolent in accepting offers from nice young musicians who want to live there!
Dear God,
YOU ARE GOOD! Thank you!
Dear CBC,
WAKE UP!!! It is 2 minutes to 8 and you are asleep!!! I want Thai Green curry!

Friday letters
Dear Immune System,
You've been really well behaved so far this year so I am frankly disgusted that you gave in to the petty cold that has been going around. I've given you Echinacea and vitamin C- the rest is up to you!
Dear Turquoise gilet,
YOU were the absolute saviour today and are frankly the best garment I own for keeping out the cold. Sorry that I've neglected you this past year thus far.
Dear Music Makers club,
Why do I do a Friday after-school club? I just always want to go home!
Dear Year 4's
I loved your Mayan folk tale inspired stories! There was frankly brilliant descriptive passages! Most impressed!
Dear Nice colleague,
Thank you for the lift which made me avoid walking, one train and rail replacement train so I only had to get one train. You made it a much less arduous journey home and very pleasant company.
Dear House,
Well, despite a bit of mess,we've managed to keep you relatively tidy for a week! Here's to continuing.
Dear Estate Agents,
STOP just putting up the prices because we've hit a new year. It's NOT fair and there is no need!
Dear Thai Restaurant,
It's sooooo long since we visited you. Many apologies, we are on our way!!!

Dear teaching observation,
Please go well.
Dear Year 1,
Please behave well and join in properly for the observation.
Dear Abellio Greater Anglia,
Seriously, please can I get to work ON TIME???? And get home on time. It was not fun having to wait for so long this morning and have the train break down. And then have to wait an hour on the way home. And Tuesday too.
Dear TFL Rail,
And on the subject of trains, I saw your subtle little notice in the station today whilst freezing waiting for above train. What kind of stupid idea is it to make me have to get onto a rail replacement bus between two stations for one stop and then make me get back on the train for FIVE months whilst you sort of this cross rail rubbish. My journey is already long to and from work EVERY DAY! It is not fair. Why can't you make all the fast trains call an additional station so I don't have to get on a sodding rail replacement at peak traffic times in the morning and evening. I am SOOO kicking up a stink.
Dear Junior Recorder Club,
You are doing so well! You are making me proud!
Dear CBC,
I wish we were having a quiet weekend. Instead, I have to play the Flight of the Bumble Bee and Aviary which are really hard and stressful!!! But I guess the kids concert will be fun. Pity we won't be going home after it and I have to go out to some horrid bar or night club for a birthday...
Dear House-sellers in town I want to live in,
Please can you put your spacious 3 bedroom, immaculate houses on the market at a reasonable price in a nice part of town. I really would like my own house!
Dear Bed,
See you in 5 minutes...

Dear Manchester,
I am very glad to be visiting you for the first time in 13 years but just for a christening seems a loooooong way to go!
Dear CBC,
Ha, brinkmanship worked with the washing-up!
And thanks for making me giggle with your turning a serious speech into The Chipmunks with your cunning editing. So funny!
Dear Aqua-aerobics,
Aaaaaah, you were so funny! I am sorry I giggled the entire way through! But I hope you did my muscles some good!
Dear Local Swimming Pool,
I am LOVING living so near you- for the first time in my life (except for uni for 1 year)- let's get to know each other more!!!!
Dear Idiotic self
WHY is it that the day you forgot your keys (left in swimming bag), you decide to come home early, and it is absolutely tipping it down with rain. You think about stopping off in the town near school for a quick mooch but decide it's better to get home, then at the local station, you contemplate going into Aldi for a quick look, but decide not to and only realise when you arrive home drenched, that you have no key. And your husband is not home yet and is not answering his phone!
Dear Carola Dunn,
Thank you for another classic Daisy Dalrymple Whodunnit. I enjoyed it muchly!
Dear Year 5 classes,
What a miracle we managed to get through our entire River Journey piece unscathed despite the fact you hadn't played your places on the river for 3 weeks and your river patterns and melody for 4 weeks. How did we manage to put it together in less than one hour!??!?!!
Dear Crispoholics,
You are welcome here!
Dear BBC,
Why no Doctor Who this year? WHY, WHY, WHY????
Dear Bloggy-chums,
Thanks for your enthusiasm and kindness and continued comments- you are all cool!
Dear Bed,
Let's get to know each other better. I don't know why I am so reluctant to go to you until the small hours- it's doing me no good!!!!
Dear Earl Grey,
Why did you run out so soon!?? I'm having to do with your inferior Counterpart- Mr English Breakfast!
Who would you write to?

Friday letters
Dear CBC,
I enjoyed a dinner last night that you would definitely not approve of- left over tomato, asparagus, cavalo-nero pasta with prawns; Southern-fried chicken breast, curly fries, sweetcorn, oh and a bowl of vanilla ice-cream with salted melted-chocolate sauce. It was great but I still miss you! Please come back safely!
Dear WOMOTM and J,
Good luck for tomorrow. I am so sorry I can't be there. My thoughts are with you and all the family.
Dear 35,
Get lost, seriously, get lost. I do NOT want to be you- that's half way to 70!!! Guess, there's no escaping it.
Dear lovely year 6 class,
Ok, so I do NOT like teaching you for PE!?!!!! What HAPPENED to you!?!?!! You are WAY too competitive!
Dear Mummy,
Thank you for coming today to the rehearsal. It's really nice to be going to do that same concert with you exactly the same way we did 24 years ago!!
Dear Choir,
Thank you for being so fabulous and singing so well in the rehearsal today and remembering most of what I taught you!
Dear Big sister and niece,
Yay, I am SO happy I am going to see you today!!! Hurrah, can't wait!
Dear Alto flute,
Er, have we met before? Oh yes, of course, but it's been so long! Please behave during the Rite of Spring rehearsal!
Dear Irregular Choice Alice Shoes,
I am just going to look! Really not going to buy. But please have Size 8 Cheshire Cat shoes so I can at least try them on and imagine what it would be like to own them!?!?
Dear Tom Rob Smith,
Your book is so exciting but why did you have to make those characters die!???!! I hate it when characters die! Why can't all books be happy with no nice people dying!
Dear World Book Day,
I am so excited about you! The trouble is, you only come once a year and I have so many ideas I might never get to put into practice!!

I enjoyed a dinner last night that you would definitely not approve of- left over tomato, asparagus, cavalo-nero pasta with prawns; Southern-fried chicken breast, curly fries, sweetcorn, oh and a bowl of vanilla ice-cream with salted melted-chocolate sauce. It was great but I still miss you! Please come back safely!
Dear WOMOTM and J,
Good luck for tomorrow. I am so sorry I can't be there. My thoughts are with you and all the family.
Dear 35,
Get lost, seriously, get lost. I do NOT want to be you- that's half way to 70!!! Guess, there's no escaping it.
Dear lovely year 6 class,
Ok, so I do NOT like teaching you for PE!?!!!! What HAPPENED to you!?!?!! You are WAY too competitive!
Dear Mummy,
Thank you for coming today to the rehearsal. It's really nice to be going to do that same concert with you exactly the same way we did 24 years ago!!
Dear Choir,
Thank you for being so fabulous and singing so well in the rehearsal today and remembering most of what I taught you!

Friday letters
Dear head,
Seriously, STOP with with the headaches. Just because I went to bed far too late and maybe didn't drink enough liquid, it's no reason to pound and ache all day. Sort it out.
Dear Year 6,
I really do like you! You are such lovely, appreciative, hard-working, musical children. You make it a pleasure to teach you. Only two terms left- sob!
Dear CBC,
Reallly???? How did you think that a full-scale mountaineering rucksack in a parcel entered the house- is it at all possible it fitted through the letter box. I think not! Use your common sense, your wife with headache is hiding under the duvet upstairs trying to sleep. Coming in, thinking you are alone and dancing and singing about your new rucksack and trying it on with all your technical gear was a bit daft! And now you are prancing down the stairs singing a song about how much you love your rucksack, alla The Beach boys, is er- banal, embarrassing!!
Dear Mini cheddars,Christmas edition.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....yes please!
Dear Thai Restaurant,
I do sincerely love your thai green veg and tofu curry. Thank you for keeping such reasonable prices in an expensive town and always piling my dish high!
Dear Bed,
I need to spend more time in you- must not keep staying up so late.
Dear house,
I am going to miss you- thank you for being so nice for the time we've been here.
Dear possessions,
Can you learn that trick that Mary Poppins does where you lift up yourselves and tidy yourselves away. If you could do that into packing boxes, that would be great.
Dear packing boxes,
If you could learn to be transcendentally dimensional like the TARDIS, that would be swell!
Dear blog friends,
Thank you for your constant support, kindness, enthusiasm and appreciation. You mean a lot to me.
With fond regards,
Kezzie

Friday letters 20-12-13
Dear School,
You're good to me and I love lots of what I do at you but OH, how glad I am that we are going on a break from each other. I think we're spent too much time together recently!
Dear Work colleagues who have left,
Oh I am so sad about you leaving. I will miss your company. L- you have been a great colleague and I am sorry I feel like that all you ever seem to hear out of my mouth is when I am moaning about pesky students! Thank you for your sincere, kind comment about my teaching. I love your honesty in saying what you did! F- I cannot believe you are leaving!!! Why did you only tell me today!!!??? I will miss you and I am sad we didn't have the time to produce a musical together like I was hoping. Let's stay in touch!
Dear makers of Shrek,
I had SUCH a nice morning watching your film. It is highly entertaining and it meant that instead of marking year 5 work, I was somehow rendered unable to be efficient. Instead, I enjoyed the film with my year 1's!
Dear Children who gave me cards,
I have enjoyed the 30 different spellings of my new married name that I have received adorning Christmas cards. Some of these are truly inventive and some of them highly amusing. Full credit for using your various blending strategies!!! I have compiled a list of these to send to my in-law family, so they may enjoy the various spellings of our name. Not experienced such merriment since my school days of Krenza, Krenzi, Crenza, Carensa, Carenza, Karenza, Karensa etc.
Dear KS2 children complete,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing singing yesterday at the church!!! I was sooo proud of you singing so in tune and enthusiastically and for the super drumming club and recorder ensemble. You are absolute stars and I am so proud of you. I know I throw really hard songs at you, but you always manage to pick them up and sing with gusto and confidence! Here's to a new year of exploring exciting new music! Oh and sorry for being ratty when you all bombarded me with questions all at once. I am not super human and can only do one thing at once, especially when I am trying to set up! Let's be honest, you could have answered your own questions or looked more carefully for what you were missing!
Dear washing machine,
WHY? Why do you insist upon somehow producing a pool of water in you for no reason whilst you sit dormant?!!! Surely wetting yourself is not good for you! Dear CBC,
Oh heck, we have to tidy this big mess, find presents, somehow pack and get up to London for sibling meeting in 24 hours!!! Eeeeeeek. Now WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Ian Clarke,
Thank you for writing such funky flute music! I wish you were still my flute teacher. I look forward to tackling 'Hatching aliens' this holiday!
Dear J and WOMOTM,
Yay, I can't wait to come and spend Christmas with you!!! I've missed you!! Hope we get some lovely walks and a Christmas carol service or two?!
Dear Bloggy darlings,
Thank you for your lovely comments this week. You have said some lovely and kind things and I cherish each and every comment you leave!! It's always exciting coming home and checking my e-mail to find new comments!!!
Dear God,
Thank you for making everything go so well this week and keeping me going despite not being totally well. You do so much for me.

52 weeks of happy 15 does Friday letters
Dear Spring,
Thank you for allowing me to walk home coatless and to be able to wear Spring outfits! I am enjoying it!
Dear Flowers,
You are so beautiful! Thank you for gracing me with your presence, colour and vivacity!
Dear Freezer and cupboards,
Long have you held great mysteries. What unknown depths must I explore in the coming months? Let's enjoy this adventure of freeing food from your icy-prison and combining you with hidden items from the more temperate cupboard and combining you with lovely fresh salad to make pleasing meals!
Dear Debenhams at Taunton,
Thank you for sending me my beautiful wedding shoes. I love them, they fit really nicely and I love you all the more for handwriting the parcel and obviously cobbling together what packing materials you could in order for my shoes to reach me safely!
Dear Aaron Copland,
Another composer who I admire and wish I could have met! I adore your music. Thank you for giving me and my Year 4 class a serene and beautiful afternoon of Appalachian Spring listening and inspiring us to compose

Dear Year 1 teachers, nationwide, HOW oh how oh how do you continue to do your job each and every day!!!! I would go mad if I had to cope with that each day!!!! You are saints!
Dear Year 1, You are annoying but at least you did nothing too bad. Thank God you weren't at your worst!
Dear mice, You can run but your days are numbered!!!! I know you are there somewhere!!!! I WILL get you my pretties, so watch it! Spack off!!!
Dear Rachel the hat, Hugs and blessings to you, you are fabulous!
Dear J, Thank you for your wisdom and kind-heartedness x
Dear bed, I cannot wait till sleep time!!!
Dear Hair, Have you enjoyed your week of experimentation and trying some different ways of wearing you? It's early days and we are rather like a year 1 pupil at hairdressing but let's try and have some more adventures together soon and perhaps I might actually get better at doing something with you ONE day!? If you could work on staying where I put you, that'd be most appreciated!
Dear Clo-clo, Please oh please oh please, can I come and see you, even for just an hour?!?!

Friday letters 6
Dear PTA,
Thank you for organising a great fair! I actually enjoyed my stall for once- selling decorated jars was GREAT fun. If you put me on something I feel is a great idea, I will be your best seller! First stop, school fair, second stop, the Apprentice!
Dear Evelyn Nallen,
Oh my goodness, I am SO excited and scared to be playing recorder with you tomorrow (I hope you never read this because I sound like a right little fan-girl!) in The Christmas Story. I went to see you at the Wigmore Hall when I was 8, and I thought you were amazing! I hope I play my recorder in tune and rise to the challenge of playing with you!
(Dear London blog-readers,
If anyone is at a lose-end in London tomorrow- come and watch the concert I am playing in at Holy Trinity, Sloane Square: Schutz The Christmas Story and some Monteverdi. It's an amazing choir and conductor plus some great musicians!)
Dear Clo,
It feels a long time since we've seen each other! I miss you, most beloved of relatives! Let's try and meet up somehow before I go to Dad's on Christmas Eve!
Dear David Bowie,
You look very good dressed up as the Goblin King!?!! Why do I find you attractive with long blond hair, thick eye-makeup and a loose white shirt, though I'm not too sure about those grey leggings!? (Can you guess what I'm watching as I type!)
Dear Blog-friends,
Are you excited about Christmas? I am!!!! Loving each and every activity I have relating to it!
Go and visit the above link for more Friday letters.
I'm aiming to go and visit someone new each week and how lovely that I picked this lovely lady to go and visit- quite simply the most beautiful and heartfelt Friday letters that I have had the privelege to read!

Friday letters
Dear blog-friends (I could call you readers or followers as some do, but you are not that, you are blog-friends), Thank you for your congratulations, kind comments and excited exclamations regarding my announcement. I am excited too and I was happy to share it with you!
Dear Floss,
I think your advent post idea sounds really delightful! Thank you for having such lovely ideas for blog posts!
Dear Louise,
Please see below. This should answer your questions! I love your blog posts about your walks! I feel like I am somewhat there!
Dear Self,
Get over this irrational fear that rings may get stuck on your finger and not come off. It will come off if it went on and if it gets stuck, well you know where the nearest hospital is and even if you fear it being cut off, well it's not going to kill you! Wear your ring or CBC may think you don't love him!
Dear Stupid left hand ring finger middle knuckle,
Why, why why are you so lumpy and dry? Why can't you be good and flat like the right hand?
Dear V, bride tomorrow,
I am so so happy you found someone dear who you love. You have done an incredible job surviving all these years that have been so so so hard for you, raising your children, to be such amazing individuals, managing to survive all the difficulties and your faith has seen you through. God bless your life together.
Dear Voice,
Please, please please come back! Seriously, you are needed for tomrrow's wedding and for Sunday's Centenary service at church. Your truancy is getting serious now! (Please dear vocal chords, don't have any nodules of polyps on you. I know you get bruised and knackered at school but I need you!)
Dear CBC,
It's been a long week! I hope we get to see each other with so much going on! To quote your own, long ago said words, it would be nice to have a hug in 'my hour of croak'

Friday letters 4
Dear 77 people on my followers list,
I appreciate you- thank you, new and old (Hello Harlow vintage!!!). But don't be shy, come and say HI! I promise to say Hi back!
Dear Postal delivery office,
Why oh why wont you open till 8 EVERY night? It would provide more jobs for people and help me to not have to be tempted by shops on a Saturday when I have to trek to town to pick a parcel up!
Dear women of combined churches centenary choir,
Really me as ONE alto versus 14 sopranos???? (FYI soprano: high voice part, sings the tune. Alto: low voice part: sings a counter-melody) Isthat fair???? I have a soprano voice but I made the sacrifice!!!!
Dear Altos who haven't come to rehearsal yet,
Get theee hither forthwith! (It's almost Christmas. 'Hither' is therefore a legitimate word to use in common parlance!)
Dear bloggers,
How come so many of you have been rather sparse in your posting this week? Some of you who ALWAYS blog missed a day or too together! Why?!
Dear Miss Simmonds Says!
Yay!!!! Another hat fanatic!!!!!!
Dear colds, flu-bugs, nasty lurgies and other wild beasties,
YOU are not welcome here. Do you hear me? You are ugly and your mother smells of elderberries so spack off!*
Dear Chris of the Chrlog,
Tee hee, I do hope you join in this week! I look forward to more text-speech Friday letters!
Dear Commenters on the Tom Baker post,
HA!!! You fell for my hypnotism!!!!! Honestly I opened my e-mail inbox and it was all KezzieAG comments! Hmmmm, let's try this again. Look into my eyes..... You are feeling sleepy.... now send me all your worldly goods!
*(a phrase coined by Tom Baker in Destiny of the Daleks. Did you see my Tom Baker inspiration outfit here? I do hope so!)

| An outfit for Remembrance. |
I appreciate your efforts and sacrifice. Even when there are no more veterans- we will remember and try to ensure it doesn't happen again. We will remember.
Dear Choir,
You are fabulous! I grow more and more impressed with how you cope with what I throw at you- I am so excited that more and more of you are coming forward to join and you've stuck with it! Hurrah for the latin!
Dear CBC,
You need regular sleep patterns, seriously!
Dear J and WOTOTM,
I really hope we can see you soon, it's been too long. Thank you for the sweetest of texts!
Dear Willpower,
Did you not get my last message? You're hopeless! Get ON with it!!!!
Dear Chris of the Chrlog,
Come on entertain me, I miss your school boy humour!!! Loved the last one!
Dear Sophie,
Grovel grovel grovel, sorry for lack of letter and lack of Scavenger hunt!
Dear Twobirds and Adam,
How have you never seen Doctor WHo?!?!?!?! I am amazed!!! Go and watch it now! (please? If you want to?!)
Dear Clo-clo,
We need to meet asap! And you need to leave me a comment- no Smartphone excuse!!!
Dear Nora Bird,
See the pictures above- you're not the only one who wore creased clothes! My skirt creased after sitting down! And I wore my infinity-scarf inside out so the robins looked anaemic!! Doh!
Go to Adventures of Newly Weds for more letters!

Friday letters 2
It was awesome to meet you so unexpectedly this morning on the way to school! It was such a surprise and I was smiling all the way to school and wanted to say to someone, "I met my blog friend Sharon!!!!!!!!!!". Except that no one knows about my blog so I had to say it inwardly! Thank you for spotting me and saying hi!!!! Let's meet soon!
Dear Self,
You are useless* at sewing!
*insert slightly more harsh synonym for this
Dear N, family friend,
You are so kind! I can't believe you put up with my constant, "What do I do now?" with the sewing machine and general cack-handedness without wanting to hit me or tell me to go home now! Thank you for helping me so much tonight AND driving me home! You are wonderful! Happy birthday for Sunday!
Dear Hazel, World of Joy,
I say MI5 agent!!!!!!!
Dear Mum,
Yep, I am still useless at sewing. Remember how frustrated you used to get with me (and got with me over the bath bomb making. Imagine trying to be patient with a thirty-something year old! Quote of the evening from N, which I am sure you will relate to all our family: "I don't know how someone who can do such amazing things musically with hands, can find simple sewing so hard."
Dear Reception,
Thank you for being so enthusiastic in music. Except, now I know you like to tease me, which you don't do with your usual teacher, I will be a little more stern!
Dear Grumpy child in Reception,
Waving is not singing. Still, it's progress.
Dear CBC,
I am so so excited about the party tomorrow! I hope my concert in London doesn't go on too late and I can get there with plenty of time! Yay, can't wait to see the new decorations!!!!
Dear Weather,
See the picture above. See, this is what we like. We don't like this miserable cold, rainy wet thing. Please desist!
Dear Bloggers,
Thank you for lots of nice comments this week! You make my day!
For more letters, please go to Adventures of Newly Weds!
Hope your day was lovely!
