pensnestI had a GP appointment this morning—originally made for a prescription review, but I also asked for help with this apparently eternal *thing* infesting my lungs. I have more antibiotics and also went for a chest X-ray in case of nasties. There's a good system in place, a mini-clinic at the N&NH dedicated to GP X-rays, so as soon as my name was on the computer I could get it done. A wait of about 20 minutes (once we got there, traffic was inexplicably clogged) and 'twas done.
Eh.
Beast also has the *thing* now, though it took him several weeks to succumb. We are a house of hideous coughs.
But I have begun singing again at rehearsals, and much to my surprise managed to get through a very intense sing last night without coughing until quite late on. We have our first Christmas singout on Saturday, another one next weekend, the Big One the weekend after that, and another, briefer one at the Forum a week later, to be followed by our chorus Christmas dinner.
This progression is, of course, ridiculous, given that Convention was at the very end of October, giving us very little time to polish up our non-Convention songs and Christmas fare, but we have been doing some really focused work at rehearsals, ten minutes on one thing then change to the next, and a timekeeper with a stopwatch. It's exhausting, but very satisfying, and effective.

I hope those of you celebrating Thanksgiving had a good one. Our shops are all trumpeting Black Friday here, which irritates the heck out of me. Here in the UK, it's just Friday.
