Nice weekend

I did have a lovely weekend. A trip to St Davids with mum and her choir, although I must admit that I chickened out at actually going and listening to the service that they were singing at, I'm really not cut out to be religeous I think. I sat outside and listened to them sing and read my book instead. I think the sunburn can probably be taken as punishment for that ;) St Davids really is lovely, I've never been there before so had a lovely wander round the cathedral and the grounds.

Sunday was pretty much all rehearsal for the concert next Sunday. We had loads of people turn up which was lovely and we sounded pretty good!

I am going to miss playing again when I leave. I'd just got back into the swing of playing in an orchestra regularly when I left Leeds the first time last January, and now I'm doing exactly the same thing. I can't take my clarinets with me though, the insurance would be horrific and I really don't want to think of the worries that carting them round hostels would pose! If I do manage to emigrate though, my clarinets are going to be at the top of the list of things to get across the world asap.

It's also been a bit hard listening to everyone make plans for things to do over the summer, groups that I've been involved in in the last 3 1/2 months since I fled Murchison (yes it really has been that long!) but then I think 'Hey, I'm going back to a country that I love and can't wait to see more of' so I'm sure I'll survive :)

Only 9 days to go...
