We had two singouts yesterday, one at a Fun Day and one in an old people's home. As the sky was entirely cloudless, the Fun Day had a respectable turnout, but sadly nobody had thought to provide the acappella chorus with a modicum of amplification, so though we sang our hearts out, we're not sure how many people actually heard us. The old folks heard us—well, there were more of us than of them, so they could hardly miss it—and seemed to enjoy it. At least two of them were doing their best to sing along.

So I have done nothing today, which makes a welcome change. I did find this on YouTube: the cor anglais player won a contest to play with the orchestra, apparently.

I don't think Sable knows how to cat.

Yesterday, Princess Fluffykins, natural born killer, had brought in another tiny mammal and then for some reason wandered off, leaving it in the library. Sable was staring at it intently but not doing the tormenting thing. When she did make an uncertain move towards it, the little creature ran underneath her to hide, and she was most alarmed.

And today there is, again, sunshine, and she is not lying in it.

Oh, Sable.

[pensnest]

However, it turns out that she rather enjoys an ice lolly. (?)

The singing sounds fun, despite the volume question!

Unoccupied sunshine, however, sounds terrible.

We've had some very nice feedback, so apparently we were at least audible to the immediate audience.

I've decided that since Sable is black, perhaps it gets too hot?

[sperrywink]

Not lying in the sunshine???? What is this heresy!! *g*

[pensnest]

I know! She does occupy an entire sofa, though, so there's that.

How vexing that people couldn't hear you properly. Very remiss of the organisers!

Sable sounds remarkably like Lancecat when he was young. He NEVER slept in the sun back then. And he's still scared of small scurrying things like beetles :-)

[pensnest]

It seems that the people who actually sat down to listen to us *could* hear, from feedback we've been given. :-)

Sable is actually quite interested in tiny things—she caught and ate a fly a few days ago (I dunno why...). She's the one who will play for ages with the laser pointer, which Fluffy scorns.
