Hi there, Leo here. For this column, I was planning on telling you about my planned trip to Bowral for the Bundanoon Highland Gathering and the solo Pipe and Drums competition that was to be held last weekend but sadly, there was a bucket tonne of rain last weekend as you might recall and as you might also guess pipers, drummers and rain don't mix well as we don't like to stand out in the rain, much like any other sane person And it's also not great for the instruments. Now, just in case any of you had the slightest thought about why it was not simply moved indoors, I'll just put it out there that such a thing is impossible. One bagpipe playing indoors is pretty loud but running 5 separate performance stages for solo's is a sound explosion. I'm sure the question you're dying to ask though is "If you didn't do that on your weekend Leo, then what did you do?" Well thanks for asking and what I did on my weekend instead was go to work, very exciting. There really wasn't much action this weekend. Going to this competition did mean that I would have had to miss out on my soccer team's first game, but it ended up not mattering if I was there or not as that too was canceled due to bad weather. So, overall last weekend was a bit of a wash out. Something that I am looking forward to is the school holidays. I'm very excited for my two week break and I only have three more days of school left, yippy.
Until next time
