Sunday morning ramblings

Spent Sat evening very pleasantly with sjkasabi ,  MLM and friends. I do enjoy kitchen parties. Reminded me that making pasta is fun and I should do it more often.

minor puttering this morning. My house is no longer festooned with bunches of drying herbs. I now have instead a large jar filled with dried rosemary for a blah-blah-secret-plan.

I am off to a first communion a bit later. I have a gift for the young lady in question which I hope goes down ok. It is, shall we say, not entirely solumn. Hmm, what shall I wear to this event? Elegant + respectable I suppose. Work clothes but nicer.

I am keen to do very many things. Just as well though that I need to go out today. My right arm is too tired from yesterday's sawing to do much reno or sewing. Then when I could I will have to go to work! But then Tues is a holiday!! hoorah! another day to do stuff!!

eep, eep! weep

eep!! Hesperion XXI are coming to Oz!! I have been thinking it is Waay too long since I have been to live gigs of pretty much any description. giddyaunt  had a brochure. Ooh how exciting. Except...They are playing in Hamer Hall- yuck, yucky, yuck. I could cry, think I nearly did. I swore I would not spend any more money and time being wildly disappointed in the HORRIBLE accoustics of that NASTY place. Dead, dead dead sound. . I have seen His Gloriousness Andreas Scholl and the goddess Kirkby there. Note I correctly said SEEN. Not you may note heard. OH, I can't wait for the new recital hall to be finished! I sat at the Scholl gig with my hands cupped behind my ears and STILL couldn't hear. Weep.

So. Jordi Savall is doing a recital at melb uni somewhere. I am trying to get a ticket to that. Though I really want to hear Monserrat Figuras sing. I could pay my $91 but still not hear her sing so I shan't.


Update- more playing with the ticket site offered up a seat in the choir stalls. I weakened. The sound might still be bad but I REALLY want to see these people. So I pays my money and I takes my chance.
