| Day 4: formally known as the mother of all headaches | May 7, 2009 | Day 4 of the Eisteddfod and one more full day to go. By 9am I had the mother of all headaches that no amount of panadol, black tea, green tea or coffee was shifting.

| Queen of the Stairs | May 6, 2009 | Yesterday and today were “yuge”. If I walked up the backstage stairs at the Civic Centre once I did it a 100 times. If walked up the foyer stairs at the Playhouse Theatre once…the same. I am the queen of stairs. The sort of queen who really hates her inanimate subjects. I am sick of […] |

| Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 22: Souful Sunday | May 3, 2009 | I was going write a long and witty post about the minor trials and tribulations of readying myself for the first day of the Eisteddfod tomorrow.

| Lighten your Friday with old JS Bach | April 23, 2009 | Bach double violin concerto third movement. I can never decide which is my favourite movement of this piece. They’re all wonderful, just depending on your mood I suppose. The lightness and joy of this performance is delightful. |
