Violin(t)

Caleb's violin concert tonight (did I mention that this was a very busy week for us?) Unlike his brother, Caleb was totally nonchalant about the whole thing with not a scrap of apparent anxiety.  Perhaps deep down he felt a twinge or two, but nothing that was evident.  Good for him - wish I could be that way.  He did well - although the first group of about six or seven violins sounded like a swarm of angry bees, I listened for his part and he seemed to be on track.  He received an excellent year-end report which was very encouraging, for him too I think.  He will continue with the violin next year.  He spent the day at home today after his violent vomiting last night, but actually felt fine.  We thought it must have just been a 24-hour thing.

Caleb's concert ended after bible study had started so we were a little late.  It was also Betta Botha's birthday today so we had dessert after the study - the most amazing trifle ever, along with white-iced red cake (how ever did she do that, we wondered...the secret ingredient was beetroot!) and some other delectable bits which I couldn't possibly have fitted into my stomach after the trifle.  Here follow some 'randoms' from the fellowship...alas, the photos of the birthday girl were blurred!
