Anyone for Tea?

Impromptu Excursions

Phew! What a day. Started out fairly late actually, after yesterday's excitements - we just about made it over to our local Benjy's as mentioned before by about 1pm. Then wandered over to church to find that actually I was very much in demand to perform miracles with a six-person drama group who all wanted to be heard and who kept swapping microphones! (admittedly, I did tell them to do it half of the time).

Anyway, the mixing went satisfactorily - it was initially a bit hard to fill a mix with just one keyboard, a bass and some drums - especially when the keyboard player does love his 'hammond organ' sound! But then the Electric Guitarist turned up (the amazing Bob) and that made everything sound nice. Packup went OK afterwards as well, although there seemed to be more people sitting around chatting and waiting for us than actually helping clear up, sheesh....what did they think it was, Church?!! ;-)

We got packed up and then someone said "Nandos, anyone?" so we did the run with the van to take everything back to our storerooms (the church doesn't own it's own venue, so everything has to be set up and packed away every week) and then over to Nandos.

One medium 1/2 chicken and chips later, someone said "Cinema, anyone?" so we all piled off to see 'Oceans 12' - which isn't anywhere near the same league as Oceans 11, and has a plot through which you could drive a fleet of buses - but still a reasonably entertaining yarn, and all in the best possible taste.

Anyway, hence why I'm so late home - bath and bed calls. cya.
