Thursday 18 December

In terms of weather, an eminently forgettable day. Grey, overcast, dark and at times wet. Not really cold, we managed 12C / 54F - even as late as 10pm tonight. Been quite busy fact-finding about doing university-based research. Well, that involves a helluvalot, months of preparation. If I am able to make a start by September 2015, I'll be lucky. Went to choir practice, two hours' worth tonight. It had to cover four church services, on December 21st, 24th, 25th and 28th. The weekly practice is always held on Thursday, meaning that the next two sessions will not be held (Christmas Day and New Year's Day). It's a full year since I sang in a choir, so am badly out of practice.
