I had a little sleep in - got up about 8 and had breakfast with Douglas. We did some housework and watched Masterchef (on recorded TV) then set off to a nearby Sports Stadium to pick up young Carlo - our 5 year old nephew. Mum was out all day doing a course, Dad and the other two kids were performing in a show/panto, so trying to look after Carlo at the same time would have been impossible... and we were happy to help!
We got to the gym session early, and Carlo was doing very well, balancing on a beam and enjoying himself. When he had finished, we went round the supermarket, and got Carlo to choose what he wanted for lunch and tea, then went home and ate.
Carlo spent ages playing with some small toys and the cat tree that belong to our Sacred Beasts, but was very pleased to be taken swimming. Just he and I went.. Douglas stayed in to do more housework and make some chocolate browines for later.
We had a great time in the pool! Carlo can now swim without any arm bands etc, and can even swim with his head underwater if he has his goggles on. I was a very pround Aunty watching him!
We got back, and I had to make a pretty quick turnaround as I was singing with my choir, Body of Sound for the very first time!!!
We were singing ten peices, to celebrate International Womens Day. It all went very well.. and I have some photos to share. I would love to upload a soundbite, but I dont know how to do that yet!
The ABCA stuff in the photos show how one of our more complicated tunes is set out. Each part, Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass each follow a different pattern of verse and "la la laa" bits. I promise you, the end result is lovely! This was taken in rehearsal.
I took this one during the performance. There is one song that i have only sung twice, and although the words are very simple, the tune is fast and complicated, so I quietly stepped out for that one.. and took the opportunity to take a few photos!
This is our leader, Helen, getting us ready to start a song.
