I spent quite a lot of the weekend, when I wasn’t doing birthday or church-related things, listening to The Complete Quilter Songbook Volume 1, performed by Mark Stone and Stephen Barlow (on Spotify again). I discovered it when Mr C and I were looking for versions of Non Nobis Domine. I don’t even remember why [...]

I’m listening to Vivaldi’s Gloria at this present time (on Spotify), because we might be doing it with choir after Christmas, unless anyone (of the choir) protests. I’m very sure I’ve sung it before, but I just can’t remember when. I’m sure it was fairly recently, but I’ve tried to look up when I think [...]

We had choir practice tonight and this is what we sang:
Good King Wenceslas
Don’t Cry For Me Argentina
Old King Cole
Angels’ Carol
Good King Wenceslas went quite well – it would have been a bit worrying if it had gone badly, as we’re only singing the tune. Don’t Cry For Me Argentina also went fairly well, although we [...]

I’ve mainly been at work, or at least that’s what it feels like! Not only has it been the beginning of the new academic year, but we have also moved into the Shiny New Learning Centre. The SNLC (or SNeLC (sorry)), is lovely, but comes with its own problems, like an over-sensitive self-returns machine that [...]

I found this today. I think it’s lovely, in its own way, and it made me smile a lot. The musical was commisioned by BBC Coventry and Warwickshire for the 50th anniversary of Coventry Market in 2008. All the people in the film work or shop in the market.

Despite the fact that things are happening in my life (obviously, but you know what I mean) I find that I have little or nothing to say about them, so I will just make a brief annotated list to keep you informed:
I’m going to start a ‘new’ job on 1st July. I will still have [...]

(Written on Saturday, 20th December)
December really has felt rather long this year. I think this is just because I really want it to be the end of term and of course when you want an event to happen it seems to take ages to get to the time when it does. Terrible sentence, never mind. [...]

I haven’t really done very much today. I’ve tried to lay the tomatoes to rest again, but gave up halfway through because it’s just too horrible out there. It was cold to begin with and then it started to rain, so I thought it was time to go inside.
We have our first concert with the [...]

At the beginning of October I, perhaps somewhat foolishly given my lack of recent choral singing experience, joined in a day of rehearsals followed by a performance the same evening of Fauré’s Requiem, Cantique de Jean Racine and Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs. The day is held every year for amateur singers in the local area of my home town to [...]
