Snow! Yay!

And I'm eating strawberries ^_^ Anyway, I guess I now have a very good excuse indeed to wear my wellies, even if it's less than an inch deep. And the sun's come ouot and I know it'll all be gone by lunch. At least it's still cold, and even if my fingers aren't bending properly any more I can appreciate it.

Went to see Princess Ida last night. Really enjoyed it. Some amazing voice talents in that cast. I was very impressed that considering all the block had microphones taped to their cheeks, and there was a whole 'choir' (not the word I want, and I know it) behind her, the lead still managed to be heard over all of them. Though I find when girls sing that loud and that high, as impressive and wonderful to listen to as it is you can't make out a single word.

Anyway, twas all good. Considering I spent work putting labels on things from 9:30 to 4:30 with only a break for lunch, it made a nice change. Though Jo did come in with her little sister, which was cool. She bought mini-battenburg ^_^

Today there shall be essay planning, because I've just remembered I'm working on Friday when it's due in, and I only have enough plan in my head to take up half the essay.

Apparently the girl who played Ida has severe enunciation problems when she sings anyway. Robbie (he was playing cornet in the orchestra last night) says she's got a beautiful voice but half the time she might as well be singing ahhh for all the sense the words make. The amount of moaning about her I've heard over the past few weeks from Matt... @_@

Heh. It would still be a goopd ahhh to listen to, I suspect. I tend to find with most powerful voices it can get hard to hear what's being sung.
