Rose has been at home today. Worn out and miserable this morning. We went to the supermarket together - as we had no food! After lunch Rose started tooting on the flute Sam has lent her. She's going to start lessons this week, and John is going to start saxophone lessons once his instrument we're getting through the council arrives.

Went into town with John and Rose to get John some outdoor shoes and buy music for sax and flute.

Rose managed to get to sleep quite early, and Toby, John and I watched Much Ado About Nothing, the first in the new BBC Shakespeare series. Really enjoyed it. Toby and John are both doing Shakespeare at school, so they knew all about him!

Off with Rose's class in the morning to go back stage at the Theatre Royal. Should be interesting.
