Tandems and singing!

[juliet]

This week I have mostly been rehearsing for this performance in Trafalgar Square tomorrow (3pm and 4.25pm; the 4.25pm performance will be audio-described). Tandems! With singing! (I will not be singing. I will be concentrating on not crashing the tandem into the audience, fountains, etc.) The performers on the back of the tandems are all visually impaired, and the performance is part of the Liberty Festival, celebrating the contribution of Deaf and disabled people to London's culture.

The rehearsals have been great fun & I'm looking forward to the performances tomorrow; it'll only be 5-10 min, but there's loads of other cool stuff going on as well.

Unfortunately I have also chosen this week to acquire a COLD. Am self-medicating with power drink and curry.

Curry is awesome when cold-ridden. And even when it doesn't cure you, it is still delicious, which is cheering when you're cold-mopey.

Festival sounds lovely, shame I'm going to be in Cambridge this weekend for a wedding.

That is so awesome I can hardly start to express it.

The fact that this exists is cheering enough. I don't know if I could bear to see it, I might explode into a heap of rainbow-shaded petals.

Hope the cold clears up through the power of spices.

I saw you there! But then you had gone again by the time I emerged, located parents, etc etc. Hope you enjoyed it :)

Cold is still present-&-incorrect, but receding. Not quickly enough for me to go beach-visiting in Southend today, though :(

It was glorious! Like the lippizaner stallions without the spectre of animal cruelty. I particularly liked the lyric-miming, and the bit where the lady in the top hat let go with both hands to wave, which was terrifying.
I loitered briefly to congratulate, but then sloped off to the Bi Coffee meet-up.

Sorry about the beach. More garlic!

I very much like that comparison. Thank you for coming along.

Cold now nearly gone; hurrah!
