Today has been a recharge day and just taking it easy. I slept in till 9:30 this morning after a busy day at Peterboro Cathedral and Cambridge Shakespeare Festival to see Taming of the Shrew. A packed day that started at 8 am and ended at midnight with lots of miles of walking!!! So today I just wanted some laid back time. So after sleeping in, I got dressed and walked to Starbucks for coffee (yes, it felt like being at home :))...then I was on a hunt for a new card reader for my camera disc so I could upload pictures to the computer...seems mine fell out on the train last night when we were returning...heard something drop, we all looked but saw nothing, and then went on about our business...I should have paid more attention! Didn't realize till this morning that I had lost it...and it was no easy feat to find another one! But alas I did and was oh so happy...did not want to wait until coming back to the states to share pics.
After a leisurely morning, I bought some greek salad and crackers at the local Saturday market in the square, brought it back to my room, had a delicious lunch with apple, cheddar cheese, salad, and diet coke while playing on the computer. Then off to the cathedral to do a brass rubbing of the Madonna and the child...now that was fun and it is beautiful!
Our rehearsal was next in the Lady's Chapel, which has the most amazing acoustics...our evensong was ok but it was in a new seating order and it was really hard to hear your parts...but we survived! We then were invited to the Assistant Dean's house for Brandy and sweets...got a tour of the house which is part of the Cathedral grounds and dates back to the 12th century...this always blows me away!
Dinner was next at a Thai restaurant which was fabulous and now I am going to bed! There is a band playing downstairs and I should go dance, but I am exhausted, so it is bed for me!
Will keep you posted!
