Patience

I wouldn't say I have ever really found myself to be particularly patient. I don't like waiting for things, it doesn't feel good and sometimes I get frustrated and annoyed. Hardly front cover stuff this I know, but still it really bothers me so instead of sitting here squeezing on the stress ball, and grinding my teeth, I thought I would share.

So waiting for things like phone calls or letters, some sort of communication can be frustrating but easy to distract yourself away from while waiting. Waiting for results of exams or tests and the likes can be annoying. It feels like someone else knows what you want to know but they just won't tell you to be awkward, which isn't the case.

Waiting for Summer (or even Spring) has been the hardest thing this year. Just to be able to spend the evening at home WITHOUT the heating on full blast has been a myth that never seems to happen. The first bumble bee of the year found it's way into the bedroom the other day. A sure sign of better weather to come. At last, not a day too soon. I want to camp, swim outdoors, go walking without a coat and gloves. In fact the sun is shining right now.

Stop Making Sense of Sound

So tonight in rehearsals I had the most amazing experience of singing Talking Heads songs with the wonderful Sense of Sound Singers of which I am very proud to be a member of. Many things happened tonight, I opened my mouth a bit wider and noisier than normally and I wasn't singing, in other words I put my foot in it and didn't really mean what I said. I did apologise and hopefully have made amends although only verbally at this point.

So we sang 'Life During Wartime' not perhaps the best known from the album 'Stop Making Sense' but what song could fail to evoke incredible feelings and memories regarding this amazing album. I really enjoyed how fast we are now learning new music, our repertoire is growing faster by the day. Page 4 at least in B.W.M. of course.

Chinese New Year in Liverpool

So yeah, I've been to the Chinese New Year celebrations in Liverpool a few times now. It's really noisy and the smells are amazing. Chinese food street vendors are fantastic, noodles with chicken and sui mai. Mmmmmmm. I took my daughter when she was younger and she cried at all of the noise. The crowds are amazing, I can't wait to go again. Worthy of about a page 15 in Big Wow Magazine by my reckoning.
