Blimey! The day I have been dreading for a couple of months turned out to be one of the most enjoyable for ages. Two days of potential hell recording Elgar's Music Makers and Sea Pictures has turned out to be one of the few recordings that I am proud to have been part of, and will certainly buy when it comes out. The soloist, Sarah Connelly has got a fantastic voice and was amazingly easy going for a singer. She had the obligatory scarf and bottle of water, but lacked the traditional superior attitude that singers generally have.
I've also managed to bunk off the last two New Years concerts so I can go to Lisbon to have a coporate jolly with the Opera Babes. Marvellous.

Busted.
It turns out that I'm not allowed to click on my own ads, so I've been banned from having them. Fair enough, but my dreams of Barbados have been cruelly snatched from me.

Beaches and Ice-cream
The ship in the background is a dredger, which is widening the beach. Because there is a promenade along the beach, there is no natural cliff erosion, so the beach is getting very narrow. The dredger is pumping loads of sand onto the shore, and further along, where it's been at it for a little while, the beach is about 100 feet wider. Excellent, I'll need lots of room for my barbeque and sausages this summer! 
Holiday money
The little ads down the side are going to pay for a holiday I reckon. After 4 days of intermittant clicking, I've made about £15 from them, and over the course of the year, this should get us all somewhere sunny. Interestingly, the type of ad has changed over the last day or so, lots more music ones since I mentioned the word opera. I wonder what will come up now I've said holiday?
