Our Pop Choir is practicing every possible day that we can to be ready to perform before everyone disembarks in Sydney on the 20th. I can't tell from one song to the next whether I will sing bass, alto or just squeak from song to song! This cold keeps lingering and although I don't feel awful, I have no stamina and fade easily by late afternoon. I slept in again this morning. I carry throat lozenges around everywhere along with my box of Kleenex!
I had a lively conversation with an English teacher about regional accents and dialects. She laughed when I said that Americans don't think we have accents! A woman came into our conversation having overheard me talking and recognized my accent as something other than Kiwi or Aussie...she is from Chicago!
Jeff has two shows tonight and I'll skip the formal festivities to sit one hour ahead of each performance to get a seat! The shows are the most popular!
After show report: both shows went well...most all words were remembered. Two wardrobe malfunctions nearly caused the show to be renamed "The Wee Willie Show" as two boy dancers had open zippers!
Quote for today: "it is not worthwhile to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar."-...Henry Thoreau
