Sofia's Music Do

Sofia, having a good time with her cousins Nadia and Farah. Trust me, they are somewhere among the darkness....

.

After months of practice, miles of ferrying her to and fro the music school for practice, untold numbers of fast food, late night suppers and heartaches, last Sunday, 7 December, was the culmination of a very long (believe me) hectic period for Lina, me and of course, Sofia.

This year, Sofia played The Beautiful Blue Danube on the piano accompanied by a flute and violins, then she played a string of folk songs on the flute accompanying a posse of violinists and a keyboard and finally she was also in the choir, singing soprano, belting out Mamma Mia, Super Trouper and Ode to Joy.

This concert is a biannual affair that the music school arrange to appreciate the students, teachers and of course, us "Moneybags" parents. We started the day pretty early as they have last minute practice, last minute this and last minute that. Lots of this and that.

It was a tiring day and at the end of the affair, it was a happy one, with proud teachers, prouder students and the proudest of them all. parents, thinking, money well earned, money well spent and money gone, gone, gone, whoa whoa whoa tarrum tarrum tum tum (sung to the tune of You've Lost That Loving Feeling).

And today is my birthday. Happy Birthday... A cake, some candles from Lina and the children made this a very nice day, I must say...........
