“Truly, I think I should go mad if it weren’t for music.”

A sentiment I completely agree with. Happy Wednesday everyone.

Mid Week Quote
So this week my friend and I have been thinking of random acts of kindness, so I decided on an appropriate quote.
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
Aesop
Aesop (c. 620-564 BC) was a Greek storyteller credited with a number of fables now known as Aesop’s Fables. His existence remains unclear and none of his work actually still exists. However many tales thought to be by him have been collected over the centuries, in many languages and passed down from generation to generation.

Happy Wednesday!
This little quote from Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes I definitely agree with, especially now half term is over and I am back to early starts.
“Blessed be he that invented sleep.”
May your week be filled full of good books.
The picture is of Coco during my wedding, she was my chief bridesmaid but found the speeches a bit too much for her and so took a little nap.

Happy Wednesday!
What is everyone reading this week?
Today’s quote is from The Compleat Gentleman by Henry Peacham.
The book was written as a guide for young men of the period to become well-rounded, couteous members of society. It was full of practical advice on how to travel, what to read and much more.
“The desire to have many books, and never to use them, is like a child that will have a candle burning by him all the while he is sleeping.”
Henry Peacham

Mid Week Quote
Good Morning!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far and getting lots of reading done. My chosen quote this week is by the great Oscar Wilde. He is a favourite of mine so I thought it was high time I chose one of his wonderful quotes.
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
Oscar Wilde
Happy reading everyone.

I hope eveyone is having a good week and managing to fit in lots of reading.
I love this quote and I plan on trying to live by this as much as I can in the future.

Mid Week Quote
“History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce.”
Karl Marx
This quote is something I agree with as everyday you see in the news instances of people not learning from history and making the same old mistakes.
Anyway that is my thought of the day, I hope you are all having a good day.

I have been back to full swing teaching this week, so I thought I needed a suitable quote. I hope I am teaching my students the beauty of music.
The object of education is to teach us to love what is beautiful.

Firstly apologoies for missing the Mid Week Quote last week, with Christmas and New Year I forgot what the days of the week were.
I hope everybody is having a good week so far.
