Here we are into February already. In the words of the song, " Who Knows Where The Time Goes "? I hope you all had a good festive season although it's now in the dim and distant past.
My health is very gradually improving thankfully. My balance is so much better since changing my epilepsy medication and my legs are stronger too which is great.
I'm still singing with the two choral groups and I do the occasional solo. I'm really enjoying the camaraderie and the company of other singers.
Last Saturday night I sang and played in the Reid Hall in Forfar as part of a dancing concert. It felt good to be on stage again but it took me until today to feel fully recovered from the exhaustion that followed. I was really grateful to Liz Low for inviting me to sing and to discover my limitations.
The East coast weather has been much better than the West. I felt so sorry for the people of Islay and JuraÊover the new year period with the terrible gales and power cuts and for the first time since moving, I was glad not to be there!
I don't know yet if I will be at the Feis this year. If I could guage how I would feel it would help, but after the exhaustion last weekend, I really don't want to commit myself. At this stage the journey alone would be too much for me. But I'm not ruling it out altogether. If I don't come at least there is a Karine Polwart singing workshop to go to.
So folks, that's about it this time. I'll keep you up to date with my progress as I have been doing and hope all is well with you wherever you are.
With Love,
Norma
