It's funny how at 4.30 am time ticked away very slowly, but once my alarm went off those minutes in between hitting the snooze button passed in the blink of an eye. Today might need to be a gentle one.
I don't know what led me to volunteer to lead warm up at choir last night when our musical director was held up in traffic. Some confidence welled up from somewhere that nearly rapidly disappeared whilst actually engaged in the task. I think I thought it's only going to be a few minutes, far better we sit here warming up than sit here chatting. I grabbed the person next to me to accompany me rather than do it on my own, a great move. And of course I got everyone massaging each other's shoulders as part of it, might as well take advantage of the situation. I hadn't fully comprehended the enormity of the traffic as it was actually half way through our 2 hour rehearsal before the lovely man arrived. In the meantime we had a go at a fair few songs but it turns out there's lots more than just standing up front. I am not so great on finding the right pitch so that seemed to take a bit of effort/organising, but we did ok. Someone said after that enthusiasm can go a long way, and I have to say that's pretty much my experience of anything.
I was also aware of just how much garlic I was breathing over the 50 singers. The homemade garlic bread we had for tea was delicious but contained surely an entire veg portion's worth of the stuff. I'm off to clean my teeth again.
