The next three weeks are getting rather complicated, viz:-
This week - rehearsals all over the shop.
Sunday - concert at the Handel House museum where I get to be a diva bitch. Yay.
All next week - production of Albert Herring where I get to be a very nosey old lady with lots and lots of notes to sing of a nice mezzo/contraltoish nature, and some very good lines. Yay.
All the week after - being a bossy old bag of a mezzo-ish nature AND a glam young thing with a whip in Orpheus in the Underworld. For a musical director I used to have a crush on when I was 10 (before I discovered my gorgeous and adored one)
And all over the intervening time between now and the end of Orpheus, rehearsing and covering a bitch-high soprano role in Artaxerxes down at lovely NCO for one my favourite directors, if not THE favourite, which is a HUGE STRESS as it is stratospherically high, but I completely enjoyed rehearsing it tonight (and sang a spot on pianissimo top b flat, which makes my day)
So I'm not going to be around much, and when I am my website baby is going ot be demanding of my attention! And now I'm going to bed, because I'm absolutely buggered. Yawn. I'm going to put my lovely on the cd player to tell me a story and drift of to sleep. This is a fine plan and one I recommend for a contented night's sleep. It's a bugger for following the plot, though, as I drop off after about 15 minutes and then can never find the right place again...
Sleep well, all.

Firstly. Apologies for not posting on here for several millenia. I've been trying to keep up with my flist and comment where I can, but I have been A PILE OF PANTS and I know it, so if anyone is going Huh, my entire universe changed and she didn't even notice, all I can do is apologise. I grovel.
Why have I been such utter crap on a stick? Well, largely because of.....
(a) My website baby, which is being such fun and which I am loving (to save time I will not go Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for a week, but imagine it here), in fact loving so very much I keep forgetting to keep my other stuff up to date.....
(b) My kids, who have had every disease known to toddlerhood and GIVEN THEM TO ME.
(c) Mr Polina, who has been extremely and nastily poorly, and still has to go into hospital at the end of July to be wired up to the National Grid to stabilise his heartbeat again, and in the meantime is taking hatfuls of medication which make him go to sleep. This is (a) awful for him, (b) worrying for everyone and (c) means I don't have ANY time at the moment...
and finally (d) WORK, this strange thing I haven't done much of since I went on maternity leave....Having not taken on anything much for a while until I got used to being a Parent of Two, Cav & Pag went so well I thought I should start doing things again and said Yes to some things. Unfortunately they are all at the same time! So Over the next coupl of months I have to get together a japey concert at the Handel House, a production of Albert Herring (as FRloence, somewhere down in the basement of my vocal range but a truly cool role in a truly joyous opera), cover a role in Artaxerxes (stratospherically high, thus giving my entire vocal range a good workout for the next month and a half.....) which is jolly difficult and requiring of PRACTICE, and then some concerts of Orpheus aux Enfers and some opera pops..... And then I can go lie down for a bit. I'll need it.
And tend my dvds and my photo library and chat up lots of people on the net to keep life toddling along.
So, I'm likely still to be quite crap for a while. And now I'm going to go and watch Mountain, which will doubtless leave me with a desire to do several things, the most productive of which will be to learn some dots and HA do a bit of practice for my latest project of learning to tap dance. Of which I have had one lesson and at which I SUCK but which is likely to be entertaining, for the spectators if nothing else.....
