the show must go on

None cares whether I'm ill or not. The show must go on.

So I have packed my things and I'm waiting for the car to take me to the airport.
My doc gave me some meds to take with me, to keep my lungs open and my airways as clean as possible.

I don't feel very strong, but I can cope with performing, I expect.
To skip the most chaotic rehearsals I'm leaving a couple of planes later than they wanted.
I know my part well, as always, so let them have the chance to rehearse it all too.

I can rest untill I'm really needed.

I know the hotelowner, and I've phoned him telling what's the matter.
His wife said she would make me chicken soup. LOL!

In my bag I have some books to read.
So all will be well.

I'm back in a couple of days, and soon after that I'll start working at a school.

See you!

Football bedding as a birthday gift

I'm looking forward to a party of an old friend.
We haven't seen each other for two years, so we have gone through some changes.
So have some others of our former group of university.

But I'm not worried we'll be out of topics for conversation.

Most of us love football!

Ofcourse there was a problem which present we would buy for our friends birthday.
He recently moved, but we didn't want to give him furniture or a painting.
We wanted, however, put our signature firmly on the place.

Then someone came up with the idea of Football Bedding.

It's a perfect solution.

We're sending money to one of us and he will order "At the Line" football bedding.
We've choosen for at least a bed blanket and a throw pillow.
If there's more money, maybe another item can be bought. There's a whole matching series of bedding items.

Oh, will he be surprised!!





The top of the items is made of super soft microsuede.
It's all easily washable, so no worries there.

We've already found two daughters of one of our group prepared to sneek upstairs and put the present ready on the bed.

I can't wait to see his face!!

I'm very gratefull for the idea.
I now know what to buy as presents in the near future, because visionbedding has all sorts of surprising prints.

Well, go and have a look yourself!!

Time goes fast

The new year moves on fast.

My agenda is filling rather well for the next months, meaning I have quite a couple of performances and at least as many meetings to prepare and arrange them.

I always like working in the first weeks of the new year.

Writing down the date of a new performance feels like a vote of confidence.
And don't we all need that?

It also created an intense feel of expectancy.

I'm not playing with the same band all the time, so it means new challenges, but also meeting new people and being with old friend again.

I feel so privileged to be able to help people to have a good evening out, to relax and to forget every day problems.

Ofcourse I'll forget the hard hours of learning new songs and boring rehearsals.
It's the end result that counts.

new neighbours

A new neighbour moved in.

I don't like myself to be curious and peeking, but when I heard all those unknown noises I couldn't keep myself from having a look.

In the pouring rain a fridge was roled in the house, furniture and a lot of other stuff.

I saw colourfull people chatting with each other, having fun and working hard.

With so many people involved there was no need to offer help.

I think I'll write a card to welcome the new neighbours and tell them they can ask for help the next days.

plastic

The council wants us to recycle plastics.

That means that we have to seperate it from paper and other material.
Bottles and such need to be cleaned.

And the whole lot needs to be stored untill it will be brought to a special container.

I'm not going to that container everyday, because it's relatively far from my house.

And from others in my street.

So everytime we meet each other the subject is... Yes!

Well, it saves a lot of place in the special bags we use to throw away or normal waste, so seperating plastic pays off.

But still. Where to leave that junk?
