a day of musical goodness

the day started early for me as i was at church for 7am for sound duties at church.  despite the usual technical strangeness’s, i also kept detecting high pitched feedback which i quickly realised was a cicada chirping merrily outside

for lunch we went to a posh local restaurant we love and had a big feast (thanks to Party for that!)

then we went for a healthy stroll to aid digestion

as you can see it was a gorgeous sunny day with only one small cloud (shown below).

after the music we went through to the living area for an art show where we could buy paintings.  all proceeds from the paintings and show went to a child the church is supporting.
