On Stage At St Mary’s Church!
It’s been an extraordinary week where nothing has quite gone to plan. Last Friday I had the privilege of singing “The Magic of the Musicals” at St Mary’s Church at Porchester Castle. It was a lovely evening and it was wonderful to perform some of my favourite songs from the musicals. I also rediscovered a few numbers I’d not sung in a while which included “I Know Him so Well” from “Chess “And this is My Beloved” from “Kismet”. The show was well attended and Paul and Poppy came along too to see my performance.
My show had been booked as part of a South coast tour which was taking me along the coast to
Back stage with Poppy!
Brighton and back, but on the Saturday morning when I did my routine lateral flow test I discovered I was positive which came as a real shock. On finding out this information I had to cancel my tour and return home immediately. Fortunately I managed to book myself in for a PCR test that night and I’ve been self isolating all this week.
My ten days are through on the 3rd October and sometimes these things can be a blessing in disguise. I have been working extremely hard and it has done me good to be at home and get some well deserved rest. However the wheels keep turning and there is always work to be done which has enabled me to catch up with my e-mails. I do a bit and then I go for a lay down afterwards. It’s quite a treat to have a lay down in the afternoon but necessary for the moment until I get back on my feet.
Singing – And this is My Beloved!
Fortunately I’ve been doubled jabbed and it’s a little like having a cold. To begin with that’s what I thought I had until my lateral flow test told another story. My tests are now showing clear so I know I am on the mend and I’m looking forward to getting back to normal. I should have been in the recording studio this coming Saturday but I’ve re-booked to later next week and I have a very busy three month ahead of me. For the moment I’m concentrating on getting well and I will be back to my normal self in no time.
With that in mind I’m going to leave my blog here tonight. Keep Following. Toodle Pip and bye for now!
