I think there is too much singing in my life! Meep. In addition to regular women's chorus duties—which of course include my production of a weekly newsletter, attendance at occasional committee meetings, and such—I have the mixed chorus songs to learn, my quartet numbers to work on, and sometimes also Beast's music to provide help with. Argh!

Doing a Macmillan Coffee Morning on Saturday, so I must get the dining room tidied, but here's a splendid jumble of assorted links I have been collecting.

Cards Against Humanity is doing its bit to help with the imminent US election. All the candidates in blue look like no-brainers to me, but then, I've not been able for years to understand why any woman in America would vote Republican. Anyway. Here it is.

Ban men from writing! No, no, how unkind! Who among us has not given a thoughtful description of our self, fully detailed, including those nicely separated breasts? Bonus: it's illustrated!

A really angry and magnificently forthright piece answering the fucking stupid question of why women don't report their assaults.

Finally, for the good of our souls, some spectacularly beautiful photographs that look like oil paintings.

That does sound like a lot of singing-adjacent things, as well as actual singing ;)

I always seem to fall into being part of the organisational work, and I wish I could just *not*, sometimes! I am determined to hold out against doing more than singing with the mixed chorus, at least.

Okay, but now I'm wondering what non-separated breasts would even look like. Just one giant, fused-together Superboob? With two nipples? ('Cos THAT would be worth mentioning in a novel!)

A strange, 1950's style jutting shelf? Scary, indeed.

[turps]

Yes, that is a lot of singing/

Hope your coffee morning is going well.

[pensnest]

It did go well—£200, which ain't bad for a first time!

I hope you get a break from the singing sometimes! And the photos that look like paintings are awesome indeed.

Happily I am not doing too much singing this week, just compiling the Yearbook for chorus. Which will involve a lot of cutting and pasting and getting photos printed somehow... oh well. I might even try to make it artistic!

I am SO SORRY to have not been able to make it on Saturday, I have sent a donation. The dizzy is being very mean at the moment and I can't manage much besides working and dealing with the endless apples.

Don't worry! I know things crop up, and if you're not feeling well, of course you don't want to be out and about. Maybe you'll be able to come to our dress rehearsal! Hope to see you next Tuesday at any event—it was very quiet last week, only four people.
