Jewellery

Making jewellery is one of my hobbies. I make it out of polymer clay, which is similar to play-doh. During the weekend I made a pair of earrings and a necklace.

Since it has become a little warmer this weekend I decided to go jogging, other than the fact that I almost froze to death it was quite enjoyable.

Piano

I spent some time playing the piano this week, since I was trying to play the piano part of Fluorescent Adolescent by the Arctic Monkeys (accompanying the guitar part). I haven't actually played the piano in some time, so it took much longer, than learning the same thing on the guitar.

I noted down the chords:

E G# B G# 

then G# minor chord (G#, B, D#) 
G major chord (G, B, D) 
F# minor chord (F#, A, C#) 

PAUSE 

G# B C# D# 

Learning outcomes:


  1. Increased awareness of their strengths and areas for growth.
  2. Undertaken new challenges.
  3. Perseverance and commitment in their activities.
  4. Developed new skills.
