1st April
Posted: Tuesday, 01 April 2008 |
April Fool's Day once more. I've seen a few good ones, the best of which must have been the flying penguins. A friend tried to pull a joke this morning but with no success in that I and the other people he tried it on all knew straight away what it was. Alas, I have a dentist appointment this evening so there might be time for some unwelcome news yet!

Choirs from Carol in France
Posted: Wednesday, 02 April 2008 |
Thinking of one of Moo's last blogs when she said she had joined a choir it made me think - how many of island bloggers or commenters belong to a choir?
Here are a couple of snaps taken last year. One is me catching flies at our last concert in September and the other is me playing the fool at a rehearsal.


The choir I sing with has been going strong for twenty five years but in the last couple of years the amount of choirs in our area has more then trebled. I would be interested to find out just how many of us on Island Blogging enjoy singing.
Bye for now,
Carol
