Blogging that is. I’m in danger of losing touch with my blog altogether if I’m not careful. So I’ll ease myself back in with a quick start of term report

Everyone is happy that school has started. T’s behaviour and general happiness levels have improved about 300%. And S seems to appreciate being in Year 9 (mainly because it means only one more year of compulsory French!) Me other half is just thrilled to get his own life back (weekdays 8.30 am - 3.30pm). And I’m totally immersed in the busiest period of the year at work. Wahaay!

That’s all OK, but what’s really rocking my boat at the moment is the fact that choir has started again. And what a programme we are working on! The big November concert will be Vivaldi’s Gloria, Handel’s Coronation Anthems and Puccini’s Messa di Gloria. It’s the society’s 80th anniversary gala concert and we were told this evening that we are going to be filmed for a programme on BBC4! In addition to that, we will be reprising our showtunes programme for the opening concert of the Preston Arts Festival and holding a Come and Sing workshop on the Vivaldi. Oh and there’s a carol concert in December.

Now what else is happening? I read 2 Timothy last night for the first time in ages and that blew my mind slightly. I think I need to get a decent commentary on the book.

Oh and Mr. Busyknitter and I will be celebrating our twentieth wedding anniversary in 2 days time. Hopefully with a walk up Pendle Hill and a cheese butty at the top. But if it’s sheeting down with rain, we’ll probably get tanked up in a restaurant somewhere near home
