New Years Plans

So, according to Kev, sounds like a warm up at home, with some food in the agricultural shed and older friends, followed by a youth party in Schonborn with loads of fireworks and alcohol.

Me not being much of a alcoholic, I shall be looking forward to the German tradition of fireworks galore in the streets just after midnight.

Anyway, before any of that, I'm off to Limburg Cathedral to sing with the choir there at the end of year service. You know me, can't turn down a good sing....

Stay safe everyone and enjoy

Merry whatchamacallit

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !!!!!!!

Now that I have unwrapped my new ASUS 3D monitor (I'll talk about it later), its time to go to the Christmas morning service at church and have yet another good ol' sing. Just shattered after the last sing and only 6 hours sleep...

More Carols? Yes Sir!

Another day, another carol service, this time in my own church back home, the little church of St. James' Bushey. Lovely little place, and I'll try to talk about it some more later on.

Anyway, beautiful evening, another great sing - and this was a big plus:

The "Swinger" wasn't there, therefore meaning that I didnt have to wear a gas mask to sing and breathe.

Oh, and one week to Christmas Day XD

The journey back

So today I drove back from Aberystwyth for Christmas - the joys of packing the car with almost everything - and as it just has to happen, you've guessed it, SNOW in the Welsh mountains.

So the journey was fun, saw a few cars on their roofs, and another the wrong way around in a ditch. But since I have the SmartMobile in winter mode (winter tyres, 0W40 super-cold oil and snow chains at the ready) the weather was no match for me.

Just home was the problem, minor issue of keys and me having to break into the house........

Anyway, I'm still in time for choir rehearsal at St. James', so off I go

St. Albans Singing (again)

Well its this time of year, and last night was the infamous Aldenham School Carol Service in the Cathedral and Abbey Church of Saint Alban. interesting catch, the choir was so big, they ran out of candles. So there were 10 tenors and basses at the back who were in darkness. Suppose it was for the best, as the older ones should never be trusted with fire.

Anyway, a very good sing, got to catch up with a few people (students and staff) and well worth the train journey back from Aber just for it.

Now that I'm on the way back to Aber (with mum beside me), I just have to put up with a few more lectures, then a drive back home.

Dissertation?

Hmmm, soo may assignments from other departments and modules seem to somehow of caused my dissertation to be forgotten for the past week. Thats negative :(

However, I guess there can be a plus side to this: A fresh mind and view after the little break will hopefully improve the project. Lets see that this is the case.
