Our last concert
Jun. 12th, 2026 08:58 pm... went reasonably well. We did make a few mistakes, mostly because we can't hear the piano half as well in this church as we hear it at school, in our practice room, but I doubt that many people would have spotted them.
There weren't many people to begin with. We had to move the concert from Saturday to Friday at short notice, and our usual audience (mostly current and retired colleagues) probably had other plans already. Plus, there was a long and arduous conference at school all day, so the still active colleagues probably were completely exhausted. So, it came down to the parents of the children's choir, and those definitely didn't fill the church. Ah, well, there are worse things in life.
Other than that I only did little things today. My major victory is that I managed to connect the new phone to my Wifi, which is a big thing, considering it's me. I also repurposed two pairs of shoulder pads and decided to make small purses of them; for paper tissues, make-up things or even cash, since they close with Velcro. Yes, that means I'm back to sewing Velcro, what a delight - not! But it's only four pieces, two of which I already done, so I'll live.
Tomorrow we're going to watch Trooping the Colours on ORF2 - unless BBC News is going to show it, too. We'll see. It promises to be long, but I can empty the balcony during it, one piece a time, for the cleaning on Sunday, so the time will be well used. And the potatoes will boil on their own while all these other things are going on, so there. Good time management is everything.
