DINNER
I don't know yet.......but another place will be set, making dinner for 3.
Yes! We have little chirping twittering chicks! Not seen as yet as Madam Broody is still sitting on them with her tail in the air, keeping them warm.
It's strange how the sound of the cheeping seems to come from elsewhere, rather than where they actually are, they are born ventriloquists.
Mr A has a band practice here this afternoon, so I foresee a long shopping expedition.....John, the guitarist will be staying over, he doesn't drive and will be coming along with us tomorrow for the big weekend bash.
Scarabella had a good rehearsal last night, there are just 4 of us supplying part of the entertainment on saturday, rather than the usual 5, so we've had to change a few things to cover the harmonies. Have to admit, with no false modesty, that we sound great! We're all exicted about the party at the weekend, and that we'll be camping.
Actually, Mr A and I will be in the caravan at the bottom of the field and the others will be in tents. There'll be singing round an open fire after the entertainment in the big tent.
I'll probably instigate a 'song circle.' This is where you take turns, going round the circle, for everyone to have a chance to 'do' something. It can be a song, poem, joke, anything that could be a party piece. I remember that I told the worst joke of my life at the last song circle we had. I remember it because I get reminded of it by others who were there. Not everyone in the circle is going to want to do something. There's no pressure, but I love to watch someone do something who is a bit shy and not used to 'performing.' They often amaze by their hidden talent!
I had the usual 'Californian Maki' from the Sushi Bar before practice. It's Shushi rice rolled around a filling crabstick, avocado, cucumber and seaweed with 'Caviar', which is a bright orange, on the top. It's not the real Caviar, not for 6 rolls costing £2.70! Also with accompanying bright green horseradish, soy sauce and yummy pickled ginger. In fact, I'm finishing off the last 2 rolls now cos I didn't feel like eating them all last night.
Mr A is happy, working in his office which is behind the room I'm in. I can hear him singing to Reggae group The Abysinnians. He's started whistling now, as well as singing the odd few words here and there. Ah! Bless!
Well I guess it's time for another hot drink......
