After a full weekend appreciating the wonderful outdoors and all its glorious soggyness, it was pretty strange having a snotty, snivelly pyjama day on the sofa. This horrible bunged up state didn't exactly help my attempts to belt out those top As in my return to Tupton Hall's spring concert, but at least I didn't squeak this time. The first rehearsal I went to a couple of weeks ago did sound scarily similar to Alvin and the Chipmunks, should they ever decide to sing "Rule the World"! I swear whenever I hear that song I'm going to hear "All the stars are coming out tonight" an octave higher in my head, and probably embarrass myself by attempting to sing along at that pitch. I can already picture an embarrassing kitchen singalong moment... oh dear... pot washing in the Durham household is never boring!
The performances and compositions were brilliant though, and although I never saw myself playing an "orchestral" version of Katy Perry's Hot 'n' Cold, it was great to back in that good ol' music department that feels so much like home. Gotta love that yellow brick road, sunshiney corridor!
Although by the end of the night I has decided that I was in an unfit state for work in the morning, at least my snot day did come to some good as we MAY have a holiday solution! I know I was looking forward to six glorious weeks in Thailand and Cambodia, but less than four weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia is a hell of a lot cheaper and carries a significantly higher probability of returning home! Fingers and toes crossed that we will actually be jetting off to SOMEWHERE in SE Asia in about 2 months!
