My normal routine on a concert day, is to relax in the morning, go to the rehearsal in the afternoon, and get back to my base for the concert. Having finally checked my concert dress is looking OK, I pour myself a hot bath and have a good soak. Then its a light supper before getting dressed for the concert and arriving at the venue. I don't generally eat a b-a-n-a-n-a, as it is a mucous producing fruit. However I do drink lots of mineral water, and stick to green tea, either earl grey or jasmine.

Right. Got my suitcase. Concert garb is half in, half out (useful tip for creaseless packing - lay garment flat in case, no folds,excess dangling over the edges, then put other fold-able ones inside and fold dangly remains over those.) Hairbrush. Other things for four of us to stay overnight. Music. Stand. Whistles. Nail files in case thumbnail grows too much overnight. Thank goodness I don't wear warpaint makeup. Car needs tyre and screenwash check. We've got the whole of tomorrow to find the venue, so should be OK. Thanks for your help, everyone.
*gibber*

Thanks, all went well, and the very exposed two bars which open the gigue (me on my tod, totally) worked both for the first time and the repeat, hooray. I also survived a series of threats from my co-soloist that if I started the gigue too fast she'd make me sleep in the garden... Now I've just got to get the dip stuff right...

Actually, the garden is quite pleasant tonight ;D Steve

Ah, but the kids succeeded in sliding through one of the walls of the paddling pool, so the grass is sopping wet, and the rest of the lawn is home to red ants!

That's the trouble with kids - great big feet ;D
Tell them to lie in the sopping wet bit and avoid the big red ants bit ;D

The official reason was that Japanese males found small female feet attractive. Perhaps they were just trying to save money on shoes ;D

I think that was the Chinese? I do know of a parent who was seriously considering not buying more shoes to see if it would halt growth of feet, but having two dancers in my brood, I have to get several sorts of shoes just for that hobby alone. Now to sort out the ironing for the rest of the week, and stew gently as that exam approaches. Oh heck. I haven't got any suitable shoes. ;D ;D
