The year is nearly done. I have finished my time with my employment, and am now finishing up my packing for the ‘big move’ to London. I have a few singing gigs with the Toowoomba Vhoral Society. Hours before I finish up with them too.
A couple of weeks ago, I went to Brisbane to record some choral music for the Queensland Pops Orchestra. It’s been a while since I’ve had to wear the big earphones. Hopefully, all sounds great. The CD will be released in March 2017.
Last weekend, I sang my last solo for a while. Performing at the Christmas Caberet with the TCS, I sang ‘The Mystery of Your Gift’ (originally sung by Josh Groban). I sang with a small ladies choir, doing backing choral work. It sounded wonderful. A great way to finish.
A few more church and community events to sing carols at, but essentially after this weekend, I am done.
I’m spending a lot of time actually having a rest…as in reading, watching TV, and hand embroidery (I’m an avid cross stitcher). I’m actually having a break. It is likely that I will resume work earlier than what I am accustomed too, since schools in the UK have a shorter winter break (2 weeks), compared to Australian schools summer break (6 weeks). So I arrive, get acclimated to the season (hot weather to cold), then to work I go.
Under two weeks to go…
