My Everchanging Plot of Life

Just how much fun a good musical get together could be!!

A group of 10/15 people just singing through something for the sheer fun of it, and thoroughly enjoying themselves. No nastiness, no belligerence, no "We've always sung it this way", nothing but sheer good-natured banter... We did have some serious discussion about how we wanted to do it, we did have some pedantic moments, but they were amicably solved.

We have got a serious purpose to this short project, and it will be done as best we can in the five practices we've got, so it won't be perfect, but it will be good enough! And, if the person who's birthday surprise this is going to be enjoys it, we will be satisfied.

However, if tonight's anything to go by we're going to have a great time doing it, regardless of the outcome.

My fingers are certainly going to appreciate a really good pianistic work out... and more to the point, I can sing along as well. Well, mostly. Just don't expect me to remember all the colours.

Only administrative and domestic ones...

Small jobs that had been piling up for a week or so now, which had suddenly took on the appearance of monstrous beings, unless I dealt with them. Now. This minute.

So I did.

Which means, that's the banking done, my laundry all neatly put away, the letters written, the e-mails answered and sorted, the budget form ready for filling tomorrow before I toddle off out, the flower money balanced, the mugs and plates from downstairs that have somehow meandered upstairs (can't think how) are ready for returning, the printing out done, and the keyboard packed ready for transporting.

Just the bank to go to, the photocopying to do, the train tickets to collect, the charity shops to be visited and donated to, the van to book and my sanity to be restored.
