What a great week-end

While the week-end was supposed to start with some friends coming over to dinner – that didn’t come to pass. Sure, It may mean have some extra food to freeze or eat up, but it was actually a blessing in disguise because I still have lingering fatigue stemming from my sickness earlier in the month and so my household cleaning chores priorities haven’t happened. It also meant that I was able to sleep the entire evening away.

Saturday I was dragged to the pool by a friend and it was actually good to get some relaxing exercise. I mostly did body stretches and the like because I didn’t want to exert too much. After the pool, we went and bought a small carpet each (I LOVE shopping!!).

In the evening I went to dinner with three girlfriends at a mediocre restaurant in Toronto’s famous distillery district. Two of us liked our dishes while two of us didn’t. I’ve never had a saltier caesar salad or pasta carbonara in my life. But the highlight of the evening came when we watched the Soulpepper theatre perform the three-penny opera, most famous for the “Mack the Knife” tune. Deanna had seen it previously and liked the previous Mack the Knife performer better because of his great voice and incredible sexiness. She couldn’t initially recall his name but then remembered it was Roger Daltry. My my – how could anyone ever forget seeing Roger Daltry???

This morning I sang with my choir and also sang in a quintet, which people seemed to really like (based on feedback). This afternoon, after having a break where I purchased about five Christmas presents for next year, I participated in a singing workshop where each performer/student sang a solo. I sang GF Handel’s Angels Bright and Fair. It was a total blast.

I’m home now and ready to cuddle on the sofa under a blanket with my cats and a book next to my fireplace.

Hope you all had a good week-end.
