Peace

I’m currently feeling:Relief. My thoughts creating this feeling:We were, at last, successful at scoring a peal over the coronation weekend, although it had its moments of poor striking and people forgetting to dodge. Anyway, it all looks the same on paper. And of course, the whole weekend is now over. My phone has stopped ringing,Continue reading “Peace”

Third time lucky

I’m currently feeling:Resolute. My thoughts creating this feeling:Unfortunately, we didn’t score yesterdays peal attempt either. This time it was due to a conductor error. We hadn’t been ringing for an hour yet and it was miss called. As we had a time constraint due to a service, there was no time to start again. AfterContinue reading “Third time lucky”

Successful

I’m currently feeling:Frustrated. My thoughts creating this feeling:Sadly, we didn’t score our peal yesterday morning. After about 3 hrs of ringing someone lost their way, causing several other people to lose concentration and for the ringing to pile up in an irretrievable mess. We had the stop with only about half an hour to go.Continue reading “Successful”

Successful

I’m currently feeling:Excitedly nervous. My thoughts creating this feeling:Today is the coronation of King Charles III and bellringing will be happening all over the Uk today, tomorrow and Monday, because I said so. For us today, we’re attempting a full peal which should last about 3.5 hrs if successful. No reason on paper why itContinue reading “Successful”

I’m currently feeling:Excited. My thoughts creating this feeling:As much as I ever get excited by things. However, this weekend is a full on programme of bellringing to mark the coronation of King Charles III. Today we have our final practice for our learners before their actual performance on Saturday afternoon. I’m really excited for them,Continue reading “Refreshed”

Reflective

I’m currently feeling:Proud. My thoughts creating this feeling:I’m really chuffed on the progress our learner ringers are making ahead of their first proper performance and ringing with others on Saturday afternoon. We’ve been giving them extra sessions every night this week and the final one tomorrow afternoon. Last night 2 of them were ringing prettyContinue reading “Reflective”

Controlled

I’m currently feeling:Disappointed. My thoughts creating this feeling:I ate a tonne of biscuits yesterday. And I didn’t need to. I had a healthy breakfast and lunch, then in the afternoon, we had a workshop and my boss bought chocolate biscuits, we were talking about how a couple of us, if we were at home, wouldContinue reading “Controlled”

Invested

I’m currently feeling:Struggling. My thoughts creating this feeling:I really ache across my shoulders and back of my neck. Lots of ringing yesterday morning but not enough, or heavy bells to make me ache that much. I only managed half a JWW yesterday afternoon and even that much was a struggle. This morning it really feelsContinue reading “Invested”
