Daily for Friday 25th Jan 08

tattycath

I'm soprano. I love singing. I used to be in the school choir, then the church choir, (fell to the wayside I'm afraid, |I'm now non practicing). I was in a drama group for a couple of years too. Then I had this fantastic opportunity to sing in birmingham and jumped at the chance!!! My OH and the kids don't have the appre ciation for the classics and operatics like I do. I've never been to see an opera though ,but i would love to go...maybe I can get OH to taske me for my 40th next year...

Penny, I think BG meant carotenemia.

Glad you're feeling better tattycath.

falalalala....:D Can I join in? (I was an alto many moons ago).:D

Tattycath - ooooh, do go to see an opera sometime! I see you're in the West Midlands - Welsh National Opera are in Brum in March doing Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, Verdi's Falstaff and Mozart's The Magic Flute. All of those would be suitable for a first time opera goer

(I'm taking Shez to see Madam Butterfly in a couple of weeks )

By the way, is this going to turn into one of those late night OS Daily Thread chats? Cos if it is, I'm going to get myself a little drinkie...

There's no drink left. Grannybroon polished off Penny's cooking sherry hours ago. :rolleyes:

Can I join in too, both OH and I used to sing with the Garleton Singers in Scotland, I have also sung with the HCS and the Leicester Phil......The last thing I sang was the Vivaldi Gloria...............I love it..........so many things Gilbert and Sullivan, Church music and light opera......I was a Soprano bordering on a messi (Victor Bourg) had almost double range........now just a croak............I always said I would give up when I developed what we used to call 'the old womans wobble' ......I did!!!!!!!!!!! I'll have a small one, off to bed in a mo, shattered.....................

Ah good to see you csarina... I think we're a bit short on sopranos in our little OS choir

JackieO...lovely to see that you are taking such an interest in your food again....envy you in UK all those farm shops...don't know of one here ( would love to be corrected), we do have farmers' markets which in my little experience don't always have local produce and are extremely expensive...fish is the only thing that I would buy in any I have visited.

Tattycath....glad that you seem to have cheered up...daughters can be difficult, only one of my four was never a problem in any way....but then only one of my three sons wasn't a problem either, just grit your teeth and keep your mouth shut as much as possible....leaving the room is the best advice I can offer. Go back to your singing...wonderful destressor.
