Just back from a Scarabella rehearsal, the last one with all 5 of us before Brenda goes on her grand European tour for 3 months.
We went through the set and surprised ourselves at how well we remembered the songs as we haven't sung them for some months.
With one of the Latin songs, Tormenta, some of us changed what we normally do and went into a really funky groove which lifted the song onto another level. Great fun.
I've had these harmonies, a backing to a song similar to 'Run' by Snow Patrol and at last could try it out - it worked.
I can have 5 separate harmonies going on in my head and hear each one and how they fit together, it's something that's come with a lot of practice of singing harmonies. I really need to have equipment to record a few tracks. Brenda says there's a free download called Audacity which is a good and simple recording programme, so I may get that. I can't do complicated....
DINNER - in Swansea
Fresh Plaice and Chips at a newly opened chippie. Very nice.
I took Gwen to rehearsal and she was petted by everyone and took turns sitting on everyones lap.
I went to the library first so had to tie her up outside. I hadn't done that before, so I tied her lead onto a heavy brass knob on the open door.
I was looking at the books when I realised that a bit of a fuss was going on near the entrance, so I went and had a look.
Somehow, Gwen had shut the doors! There were 2 elderly ladies outside complaining that they couldn't get in and gave me a very dirty look, muttering about 'responsibilities.'
I thought it quite clever of her to shut both doors, when she was only tied to one, and they are great big heavy doors too!
So, missed Spooks, which I've just noticed, so will have to catch it online, it's a great series, I enjoyed the last one.
Bed in a minute, I've got meals on wheels again tomorrow.
