NotAboutCats!!

I went into London today for an AGM, and had a much more fun day than you might expect. All kinds of shenanigans with trains, but the two of us got there in the end, and I found the meeting quite interesting. Afterwards went to Covent Garden to visit my favourite earring shop and scored a pair of beglittered parrots in epaulettes and Nelson hats, and really, need I say more?

At King's Cross Station, I ended up
a) watching Amersham Acappella perform several excellent barbershop songs (they were UK champions in 2016)
b) singing a couple of polecats with Amersham Acappella
c) identifying a member of Amersham Acappella as someone who was briefly a member of the Hemel Theatre Group, and having a very cheerful chat with her.

And now, I'm back again, and the cats are snuggled on the sofa without my legs to nestle them as I am catching up on my computer.

Some links.

A collection of weird and wonderful saxophones

A Sub-Contra-Bass *Flute*, which looks (and, arguably, sounds) a bit like a sewer pipe.

And Bethany Black, a fucking *fearless* comedian. I *cried*.

And Nsync are getting their Walk Of Fame star on April 30th, apparently. \o/ Ah, if only I could hope that they would sing something.

Yay for impromptu singing!

And WE LIVE IN HOPE.

That sounds like an excellent trip.

And yes, we do live in hope!

Nice!!! Singing in Kings Cross Station must have been a trip!

*fingers crossed* I want to hear JC sing again!

I'm looking forward to seeing those beglittered parrots at Camp. They sound delightful!

Yay for unexpected singing!

I thought they already had one!

It was slightly planned singing, in that at the AGM there was an announcement that the AA members might have to leave early as they were due to sing at the station at 4.45, and anyone who'd like to come see/join them would be welcome. And as I found myself at the station at 4.25, I decided to forego the next train and have a sing. Which was lovely.

I hope, but I expect to be disappointed!

Singing in railway stations is mostly a bad idea, because the sound rises up and up and up where nobody can hear it. Even the Norwich station doesn't provide very good sound, and add to that the fact that everybody is going somewhere else... however, they did manage to capture quite a large audience, for the situation.

Oh, me too.

Hmm.

Oh, the parrots are *fabulous*! I shall certainly bring them to Camp.

It does seem a bit late to give them a star *now*, when nobody cares they have been out of the boyband business for a while.

The earrings sound fabulous!
