Rivelin Singers

Got home late last night from the singing week in Chester Cathedral, and have spent this evening uploading a few photos I took of the choir and cathedral itself.

It was an amazing week, singing all of the daily services in the cathedral, for the week 4th-10th August. We also received some really fantastic comments from the clergy and congregation; making us feel very welcome, and our efforts deeply appreciated.

On a personal note, I met some lovely people and made new friends. I’m just sorry the week had to come to an end. I guess I’ll just have to be patient and look forward to the next gathering of the Rivelin Singers.

Face Fuzz

It all got a bit too itchy last night, so I shaved it off. However within just 12 days I had managed to grow quite an impressive amount of face fuzz.

It hadn’t been a planned thing. I had gone away for New Year, and had simply forgotten to pack my razor. And being a bit of tight-arsed penny pincher, I resisted the urge to buy a new one. So while I was away I let it grow - and then came back to Dublin and let it continue, to see if I liked it.

I must admit, there was rather too much grey in the beard for my liking. And with some (albeit well-meaning) comments from friends saying I looked ‘distinguished’, I felt it made me look even older than I normally do. Of course some other so-called friends also said that I looked like an axe-murderer - which wasn’t what I was hoping for either.

Anyway, so the beard has gone. I got home last night and realised that I had been scratching at my chin all evening. I had thought that if I just left it grow a bit longer the itching would stop, but it appeared to get worse over time. And so it went.

Christmas card photos

I’ve heard of planning ahead, but this is quite impressive. On Monday night, in the middle of our preparations for the Nine Lessons and Carols the two choirs of Christ Church formed up outside the cathedral to take some photographs round the tree. The idea being that the shots will be considered for the cathedral’s Christmas card for 2008.

This isn’t one of the shots taken (you may notice the lack of any choir people in the frame), but a photo I took earlier in the evening of the cathedral and its Christmas tree. If you want to see the photo with the choirs in it, you’ll have to wait till next year.
