I knew I'd be embarassed by that last post - so hey - lets all pretend it's not happening! OK?
The Messiah in St Paul's last week was lovely but honestly, Handel doesn't really do it for me. That makes me a Phillistine I know, but there it is, too much trilling and not enough tune for my taste. Beautiful cathedral, very hard chairs, but of a draft up your back.
My meeting in London for this Thursday has been cancelled so an extra day! - I actually took it today if I'm honest. I've done no work at all, went riding this morning and then out for a very long lunch...shameful self employed behaviour.
I do need to work tomorrow and variously sort my life out. And I will.

I've recently taken to, 'sorting my life out'. Not that it's seriously out of control.
I have found it very tiring.
Lippy,
Handel doesn't really do it for me either..... I am more of a hard / funky trance person !!
Sounds like you need some ME time at the moment to get your head around everything... and yeah I have been trying to sort out my life for the last 20 years still no where nearer its like hearding cats.
Take care, Laters
Nicey
I know I'm going to sound like a total phillistine too....but Handel's Messiah bored the crap out of me when my dad took us a few years ago. My brother feigned a headache and scarpered at half time...I've never forgiven him, he left me there to suffer!
NG - you are completely right it's one of those things you feel as if you SHOULD find heavenly and uplifting.......it's very consoling to know I'm not the only one who doesn't thank you!
Nicey - I think we need to think of "life sorting " as a zen practice, like raking the zen garden it's never ending and it's not finishing the job that matters it's how you do it!
Tickers - it's exhausting friend , but we go on! I'm feeling so middle aged I may have to take up listening to Wogan!
