I dunno - the things you learn on this forum...... it's like a big encyclopaedia of fascinating facts........
Needed something to brighten up the afternoon. It's absolutely dire here in Crewe. I spent an hour in the garden before lunch. Bit windy but not really cold, just busy sweeping up leaves and chopping off dead stalks of things (our last garden wheelie collection is this coming Tuesday until February - hence the motivation to get things done!) and I have to admit I really enjoyed being outside. The garden too looks so much better for a bit of a tidy up. All change after lunch though. Wind got up even more, rained a bit and at about 3.00 p.m. I made a cup of tea and went and sat in the conservatory to drink that and have a bit of stitching time. By half past 3 I gave up, it was that dark and gloomy outside I couldn't really see that clearly.
Shame though, as all my allotted jobs for the day are complete so I am 'free' until tea-time kitchen duties. I shall now go onto a music website instead. Our choir starts on Bach St. John Passion in the New Year. I've done it before but there's a lot of chorus work in it, some of which is quite tricky on 'timing'and sections are really quite fast. However, these music websites are brilliant to work with and really help you get things right, so a bit of practice won't come amiss!
Poor old Geoff is only a bit of hallway away so once again he will have to listen to me caterwauling (as he calls it). It was his birthday yesterday, I should've bought him some cotton wool for his ears.......
