LAST NIGHTS DINNER
Californian Maki. This is Sushi Rice rolled with a large leaved Seaweed. Inside is chopped Avocado, Cucumber, Various unidentified Bits and Pieces, topped with bright orange 'Caviar' (some sort of fish eggs)
Miso Soup
After the successful reheating and tweaking of the previous night's Spag Bog, I was ready for a bit of Sushi, as I was going into town for Scarabella rehearsal anyway.
Tonight we have a gig at Mozarts, a winebar with a great atmosphere - and a piano! Even though we are performing just for expenses, the glad rags are on! Black dress, turquoise glittery scarf, turquoise and deep blue large feathers is our 'uniform.' Long black gloves optional.
We have changed the rythmn of one of our songs. It was a bit ponderous, a slow marching sort of rhythmn, but now, with Brenda's funky bass line, it has a whole new lease of life - and exciting to sing! It's the only song we've written as a group. It was commissioned on the occasion of unveiling a bronze statue, dedicated to the women who started up the Greenham Common Peace Camp. Here are the words:
GOSSAMER THREADS
Women marching from the West,
prepared to face distain and arrest.
Joining hands around the fence.
Spirit of Woman,
her pride and strength.
Remember Greenham, remember Greenham.
Sisters' meet to disarm the fear.
Daughters, mothers, grandmother's gathering.
Clearly seeing beyond the might,
of a hawk guided missile,
on it's cruising flight.
Rainbow camps,
linked by webs.
Peace held,
in gossamer threads.
(Linked by webs).
Side by side.
Side by side.
(Hand in hand in hand)
