I should have sent it back but I only had an hour between the rehearsal and concert so there really was not time for them to cook another piece – anyway I’m far to British when it comes to doing that. I’ll complain to everyone about it but really I’m all mouth and no trousers. Not a bad description of a classical singer actually…

Still, I do have several reasons to be happy despite the treacherous drive home in the snow.

So my top 3 reasons to be happy despite a rubbish dinner? As follows:

  1. I’m going to see my babies tomorrow
  2. I had a full nights sleep last night whilst apparently at home Seth woke James up at 3:30 and wouldn’t go back to sleep.
  3. This is the last night of the Viennese tour so tomorrow I get to sleep in my own bed.
Just heard applause so that’s the interval – just nipping out to meet some forum members from my website who are in the audience.
2nd half about to begin and I have something else to add to my list.

4.   Three of the forum members have just given me a beautiful orchid.  I feel spoilt.

It’s hard to believe that tomorrow I will be back to my jeans and sick splattered sweatshirts…
