wiseheart | All over the town today

Well, what's all over the town for me, that is. In the morning I took out the selective rubbish, took the empty soda bottles to the machine that pays for them and did the grocery shopping. I didn't get any further than the Lidl next corner and was glad about it. We're temporarily out of the negative grades - they're supposed to return next week with a vengeance, with double digits, grrrr! - so the walkways were reasonably clear. Getting to the other side of any street was the real problem, as the cleared-off snow is piled into dunes along the walkways on both sides, so... a real adventure. Only that I don't truly feel adventurous these days. *sigh*

In the early afternoon we had additional choir practice, which I attended because we're going to sing on the funeral of our choir leader's late husband. We practiced a very beautiful Hungarian folk song called the Evensong and the canon "Dona nobis pacem". I was glad I got to sing something I actually like but not about the occasion. :(

But at least practice took place early enough so that a great many of my former colleagues were still at school. It was nice to see all those people, to chat with them a little bit. I used to like this school and all the colleagues... well, almost all of them. But if Boss Lady hadn't been such a b*tch I could have lived with the rest of them.

Anyway, it was a nice - albeit short - reunion, and Mum was happy to learn that all the people who knew her from earlier school events still remembered her and asked about her.
