20/11/2011 Singing, Cornish singing, Love song

Yesterday was a day full of singing:

1 Flash mob singing in Truro – people from all 3 of Claire’s choirs came together for three flash mob events. It was a brilliant and uplifting experience. (We hope for a YouTube link at some point.)

2 Went with next-door-Sue to Hilary, Neil and Will’s 150th birthday party in a wonderful old house in Prussia Cove – music playing and lots of very Cornish singing that was great fun to join in with. Took them a carrot cake with 150 stars!

3 At the same evening, was introduced to Rory Mcleod, a fabulous musician and singer. I loved his stuff especially the love song he did for Will and his partner.

Singing, Mr Smith and Daisy’s painting

1 A fabulous singing session with the Suitcases learning ‘Hark, the Glad Sound’ a Thomas Merritt carol, with the loveliest harmonies that sound like pealing bells. Watching peoples’ faces transforming from puzzlement to absolute beaming joy as they ‘got’ their part was magic!

2 Coming home from choir to Mr Smith telling me, with a big grin, “Today feels like the first day of the rest of my life!” The osteopath has fixed the problem at last after 3 weeks of treatment but four months of pain. Thank you, Joe. (Update – 23/11/2011 The relief was short-lived. Joe is still trying to help.)

This delights me every day! It is a wonderfully vibrant painting by my dear sister, Daisy, who now lives in Hawaii, and who is so happy in her new life. We’ve put it in the spare bedroom so that we can see it from the hall, all the way up the stairs, when we come out of the bedroom and it lifts my spirits every time I see it. Thank you, Deborah.

Thursday 3rd November

1 After a half term of absence for one reason or another, I returned to my Thursday choir, The Suitcases, and sang my heart out. I’d been missed!

2 I was put in touch with the friend of a friend who wants to do some volunteering so I was able to share some of our experiences and enthusiasm. That really was a treat and I hope I’ve inspired her!

3 I finished the bootees for the new baby. They look so cute!
