so far so so-so

I didn't want to go, what with the tiredness and the gumboil and the general arse-feck of it all ...

Tonight I sang with the choir in a crimson art gallery for St John's Hospice ...

The songs were sad with uplifting moments :

Lean on Me
Your Song
Rhythm of Life
Fields of Gold
How Can I Keep From Singing ?
Tears in Heaven
I Dreamed a Dream
Lament
Only You

and ...

Goodnight Sweetheart

Now you might find that set maudlin, but there was lots of happy banter inbetween and we sang our hearts out to people who were there for a reason, and one that we often unfortunately share.

It was wonderful

Disregarding the fact that the Victorian-themed-with-bonnets-on buffet didn't extend to doggy-bags for the starving singers

1. Have you ever taken part in a demonstration?

5. The one person I’d like to see in prison is …………………… for the crime of … ?

And ... oh deary dreary me ! I seem to be on the side of the Mail in this instance ...

Never mind, like all readers and voters...

I am a movable feast
