I mean, the only lesson (a writing course) I had in the diary for today was postponed as the student couldn't understand Zoom, so we'll try again on Monday morning, giving the mum a few days to work it out.
But...there is plenty of work in the pipeline. I'm excited by a remote session drumming gig that has come in out of the blue, it's a couple hours' work a week but really fun stuff - plus it'll be great to have to learn a whole new hour of songs every week. Basically, I'll have to record my parts (to a click and backing track) mid-week, as will the bassist and guitarist, send it back to the audio engineer who will make it all glossy. On Fridays, a choir will sing all over it, and we get paid as the gig is streamed to a paying audience. Modern times, eh? I'm very grateful that I'm the drummer they chose for this, I mean, they know me well and I've worked with them before, but it's still nice, yeah?
Spent a majority of the day replying to emails, scheduling in bits and bobs of teaching work and I also made a spreadsheet of ALL of my students, complete with my status with them (in three categories: online lessons / on hold but will come back when we're allowed / probably gonna lose them). There's only two in the latter section, out of 80-odd, but annoyingly most of them are in the middle.
That took longer than it needed to.
Lovely video chat with the band, good fun, nice people, a lovely hour of nonsense.
Evening, A cooked us a lovely meal (as she does every night, I think she's loving being the housewife) and we watched the Inbetweeners movie, which is light fun, yeah? We got drunk. I think we're both drinking too much at the moment. But then again, everyone is, I imagine.
