CV Writing by Day ... Music by Night

All day I sat on the computer writing, amending, changing my CV ...searching for jobs...looking at different websites ...filling in application forms. It takes so long to do these things and I am far from finished. Its an on going activity that will last as long as it takes me to nail that job.

After applying for any kind of employment, I have decided that I really should use my skills to do something I enjoy, something I feel passionate about and something that will pay me a decent wage. So I've made the decision to return to teaching. It was something that I really did feel that I was suited too; and with it came a sense of satisfaction, self worth and a contentment knowing that I was helping someone to improve their chances in life.

I'm applying for posts teaching Essential Skills and IT, and also I'm thinking of applying for Teaching Assistant posts.

I may have to do some more studying if I'm successful in my quest to find a teaching post. I have City & Guilds Teaching Certificates, and six years experience, but I never did get around to finishing my Certificate in Education, it wasn't the right time back then. If I get a Teaching Assistant post then there will probably be other qualifications I will need to gain.

After a long day using my thinking skills (!) I headed to The White Lion this evening. I have my singing group at 7.30 and then we meander down to the lounge of the pub to enjoy the music that happens every Tuesday night. Its great, the local people bring their instruments, they have a jamming session, a few songs, a sng a long, and the atmosphere is electric.

Tonight was extra special, we had guests from Nashville who are staying not far from the village, they are doing some tour dates in the UK. They are called "dirty proper." Natalie sings and Trey plays guitar.

who is the bass guitarist, song writer and singer from the very well know Welsh band The Storys. I hadn't heard of them but was sad to read when I got home that they have very recently disbanded.

It has been a fabulous evening.... music, singing, a great atmosphere, a few halves of Guinness...what more could a woman want! I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It is such a wonderful feeling to be part of a community where there are endless activities and events happening. I'm enjoying getting to know the people and the places. Great stuff.

A few Mobile pictures, they're a bit naff! I didn't take my camera ...doh! I could have left the pub for a few minutes to cycle home to fetch it, but I didn't want to miss anything!
