Not Katherine Jenkins: March 2011
http://notkatherinejenkins.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 29 March 2011. Well - 10 seconds of it, anyway. I was on the 6 o'clock news on the BBC last night - for all of a few seconds, talking about losing my job at Becta and trying to sing for my supper. Fortunately there was more footage shown of me singing than speaking - I'm much better at the former than the latter. This is all part of a BBC project. And I have my own BBC News article. Think this counts as my 5 minutes of fame? This all tied in with me also getting a part-time job at Holy Trinity.

Not Katherine Jenkins: March 2010
http://notkatherinejenkins.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, 27 March 2010. And the valleys shall ring! I've just heard today that I've been selected to sing at the International Eisteddfod in Llangollen. Highly over-excited about this now, not to say more than a little nervous. However, I have a repertoire, I have a voice. I reckon I can probably hold my own and it will be such an amazing experience just trying. Monday, 22 March 2010. I'm supposed to be finishing some work stuff off but have found my mind (and browsing fingers) wandering. Having played ...

Not Katherine Jenkins: October 2010
http://notkatherinejenkins.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, 29 October 2010. The end of a long summer. I know, I know, I've neglected this blog dreadfully! The main reason for this is that I heard at the end of May that the organisation I work for was being closed by the government as part of the first "in-year" spending cuts. So I've kept quiet for the whole summer! If you know me well, you'll realise what a sacrifice that's been! So now I'm looking forwards and not back. This work situation could just be the beginning of something very exciting for ...

Not Katherine Jenkins: May 2011
http://notkatherinejenkins.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 5 May 2011. That's what I used to advocate as part of my day job and yet it's rare I push myself hard on the learning front these days. The most learning I tend to do is song words! However, I got the opportunity to go on a 2-week training course for an Associate Diploma in Performing Arts teaching in April, and it seemed too good an opportunity to miss. So I packed my bags and went away to Surrey (leaving my endlessly long-suffering husband with the boys on their Easter hols! I'm just waiting ...

Not Katherine Jenkins: And for my next trick....
http://notkatherinejenkins.blogspot.com/2011/02/and-for-my-next-trick.html
Friday, 18 February 2011. And for my next trick. So life at Becta is done and dusted. It had to come sooner or later. I'm actually not missing it one bit so far, which I'm taking as a very good sign that I was ready to leave. I don't really have time to miss it, to be honest, as I'm not exactly languishing in a life of leisure. No sooner had I finished, than I found myself working as a supply woodwind and vocal teacher, a singing teacher in a Stagecoach theatre school. I am happy. Busy, but happy.

Not Katherine Jenkins: February 2010
http://notkatherinejenkins.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 27 February 2010. And they say there's nothing in genetics. Number one son has just been confirmed as the latest in a long line of severely colourblind blokes in my family. It's all my fault, as the women generally carry and pass on the gene without having to cope with the not-so-fringe benefits. However the added and unexpected extra result of the sight test he had to do is that he's also long-sighted. Glasses arrived yesterday and very suave he looks, too. No farm no good! We're all off on Th...

Not Katherine Jenkins: Keeping up
http://notkatherinejenkins.blogspot.com/2011/03/keeping-up.html
Monday, 14 March 2011. I'm finding out the true meaning of plate spinning at the moment. Not only have I got loads on work-wise (not least, the ceremony of the Church School Awards. On 24 March, with all the busyness that brings with it), but the boys have sprouted social lives that even the most active It girl would be proud of! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Not Katherine Jenkins: Happy Christmas
http://notkatherinejenkins.blogspot.com/2010/12/happy-christmas.html
Wednesday, 29 December 2010. The Christmas festivities are nearly over and I'm finding myself increasingly contemplating the old year nearly over and the new year nearly begun. 2010 has had some massive highs and some extremely deep lows but I feel like we're emerging stronger and with the potential for a very happy future, albeit with less disposable income! 2011 - You are welcome and please be kind.

Tuesday, 4 May 2010. Can we dig it? We're digging the patio out and replacing it with a new one so Mike spent a happy couple of days last week digging it all out (and down 6 inches). Number 2 son decided to "help" and chose the right hat for the job. Next is the concrete and then the slabs. Mike is going to be a shadow of his former self by the time he's finished!
