and I'm not entirely certain how, I'm well organised for the weekend. This could be because I've got a couple of weeks off one of my little paid pieces of work. It's only a couple of hours each week, but sometimes seems to take up a disproportionate amount of time and energy!

Also in view of the badly bruised hand incident, it's probably just as well I'm not doing much in the way of piano playing this week. So, unfortunately my grand plan of beginning on learning all Bach's 48 Preludes and Fugues in all seriousness has taken a bit of a setback. Sorry, Bach has also won out because I'm also an organist, and Bach sooths my soul more than almost any other composer. And right now, my soul needs all the soothing it can get.

I got through Saturday more or less in one piece, thanks to the excellent gentle support from the two people who knew why I would be finding it a difficult day! Given I was singing, I was more afraid I was going to get tearful and not be able to sing at the appropriate moments, than I was worried about seeming a bit quiet and withdrawn generally. Or my other coping mechanism of being loud and noisy. Come to think of it, I kind of ricocheted between the two, but not as dramatically as I might have done.

Mmmmm... there are very nice Quadruple Belgian Chocolate Cookies....

Coffee time, methinks
