…Just one more week till the end of term.
Had recorders and a practice of the musical evening.
At the event I kept bumping into the flower display.
Me playing the piano was the most funniest [sic] thing that has ever happened in the world.
I played The Entertainer by Scott Joplin…
This is me trying to pull on the twin cloaks of nonchalance and bluster in light of the previous time I treated an audience to my piano-playing.
The event was a musical concert to mark the end of the school year. I’m not sure with which other items I was involved; I’m guessing it was the recorder ensemble. But I was only really bothered by how my solo spot was received.
And it went pretty well. It got a round of applause, which was more than last time.
I’m not sure it entirely made up for the catastrophe that was the school assembly. But it did restore a bit of self-pride and, judging by the “funniest thing” remark, a bit of self-deprecating cockiness.
The Entertainer was my party piece for a while. Then I got a bit more confident and moved on to the theme from Film ’86.
Twenty-five years ago today 
why did your school break up so early. for my school it used to be about the 3rd week of july.
All the state schools in Leicestershire used to break up a couple of weeks before the rest of the country. I’ll talk more about this in a forthcoming blog update!
