So this is my first post for 2017. I’m writing this post from a new part of the world. London, England. That right, I’ve relocated from Australia, to the big city on the other side of the world. I left Australia after Christmas, and was in London for New Year. It’s taking a bit to acclimate from hot and humid weather, to freezing cold. I actually prefer the cooler weather.
I suppose with the new year, I should have made a few resolutions, but in honesty, if I make my new life work, that should be a load of resolutions completed in one go.
This past month I’ve been staying with extended family. Next week, I’ll be moving into a flat share in Kensington, which is more central to pretty much everything…and there’s a great big park nearby.
Obviously, with moving to a new place, it’s going to take a while to get my music and singing going again, but little by little, hopefully I will find a new groove. Next weekend, I’m taking part in the London Musical Theatre Orchestra play-through of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’, in the Chorus. It will be good to meet new people. Eventually, I’ll audition for some large choirs, and see how I get on.
I’m still on Smule. My followers have grown greatly this last 12 months. 2500+. I’ve tried all kinds of songs, some good, and a few not so good. It’s brilliant the feedback I get back, and the ‘chats’ that I have with other singers. I’ve been saving the best recordings into my ‘favorites‘. I’ve also been working on this blog site, turning it into a promotional site for myself. It’s very strange trying to talk about oneself. It’s for those who are curious about myself. Of course I’ve linked my social media, and Smule sites together. An I’ve relearned how to write HTML code, haven’t had to do that since university.
I’ve been working as a supply teacher, and have been to many schools throughout London, mainly because I’ve been living in the southeast of the city. As of next week, I will be working in the north, west, and northwest regions, so I’ll be working with a new set of schools. I’ve already been offered a job at one of them, but I’m not quite ready for something stationary yet. I want to experience various schools first.
There will be more to come…
