i'm big and i'm proud singing out loud
Nov. 2nd, 2021 06:48 pmStill busy... I did have a very lazy Sunday, bestirring myself only to enrobe a pork fillet in some prosciutto and home-made pesto.
Yesterday was double exercise plus spending three-quarters of an hour at the bank with an employee who was on hold for all that time trying to get approval for the transfer of money from our account to our son. You'd have thought the bank would have wanted a more efficient use of their employees' time, really. And, seriously, we had a perfectly good explanation for why we wanted to make the transfer.
Today, Beast spent a similar amount of time on the phone waiting for approval on a much smaller transfer to his brother. Gah. We did some of our exercise routine while we waited, but warming up to hold music and frequent statements about how sorry they are to keep us waiting—hah!–is not quite as stimulating as warming up to tracks 3, 1 and 5 of 'Trespassing'.
This afternoon we mostly spent shredding. We bought a wood chipper, and after a few false starts (turns out it didn't like the very long extension cable) got through two huge piles of stuff which Beast had chopped from the hedges.
We had Tenors (including me) and Baritones (including neither of us) rehearsing here last night, and tonight I have an Unquartet. Well, there are four of us, but we're not looking to perform, just singing some of our repertoire together so that our MD can get to know the songs better as a Lead, and perhaps dig a little deeper into what she wants to do with them.
Performance tomorrow, possibly followed by a bevvy and late supper in the pub, which should be nice. And back to rehearsal on Thursday.... *so* many lateral flow tests. Sigh.
Haven't spent any time with my Yuletide request yet. Must do so.
