Short and sweet tonight, as I’ve been out at choir. Though actually more sad than sweet, as it’s our last Wednesday night rehearsal for two whole months!

We only rehearse during the school terms, so won’t be starting back till the schools go back at the start of February. What am I going to do with myself? Maybe I need to toddle up to the shed / bike workshop / home gym at the back of our property once a week or so and have a loud sing, by myself.
You know how I like to share what we’ve been singing, so here’s two wildly different pieces we’ve been working on lately.
One is an old Pete Seeger song from, oh my gosh, over 60 years ago – If I Had A Hammer. The version we’re doing is a bit slower than this version from Peter, Paul & Mary, and with a lot more harmonies, so it’s coming out really nicely.
The other is an African tribute to Nelson Mandela called Asimbonanga, performed here by the Soweto Gospel Choir
In other Xmas news, today I’ve been finishing some updates to our business website for Xmas, highlighting some products we have that are suitable for Xmas meals or gifts.

• Day 1 – Carol singing with the NZ Symphony Orchestra
• Day 2 – Kilbirnie Santa Parade
• Day 3 – Posting overseas Xmas cards & a Xmas themed exercise class
• Day 4 – Last minute book buying
What will Day 6 be all about?
Thanks for reading and listening
