For those who came in late…
Or, things that may have changed since I last wrote Anything Of Consequence.
Choirs / music excursions of any kind continue to play a major role in keeping me sane. MonUCS is still the base of my social circle, though I’ve gotten a bit slack in attending rehearsals and performing in concerts. I have started singing in an occasional choral group (no, not that one) which has been challenging and lots of fun. We joined in with ROCS for their anniversary gig, and are vaguely talking about a concert later in the year.
I had an unexpected success earlier in the year when I was asked to cater at the last MonUCS rehearsal camp. Despite not a lot of notice and some less than ideal conditions to work in, it all came together. I miss not being able to play silly buggers all weekend, but perhaps I’m better confined to the kitchen, who knows? I was asked to do it again, and foolishly I agreed. I’ve been plotting recipes, and we’ll see how they develop in the month or so I have to tinker.
As exciting as it is cooking for a lot of people, I’m struggling with the motivation to cook for myself. I’ve tried inviting people over and bribing them with dinner, but my efforts have had a mixed reception. So, if you’re curious to see what I can come up with, or just hurt that I apparently haven’t invited you over, let me know and see what piquing my curiosity will produce.
As I alluded to in the “woe” section of my last post, not having Madam around makes life very difficult at times. Still, she continues to come up with interesting things for us to get up to in the time she has here with me. Last excursion, we saw Avenue Q, which I loved. Next weekend, we’re off on an “interactive dining experience” for our anniversary (our “Ooh, hello” anniversary rather than anything more traditional) which sounds like lots of fun, not to mention food. We’re doing the Melbourne Show as well, and hoping that things may change not too long after that.
More noodling to follow. I have been away for a while, haven’t I?
