Up around 7:30 or so and to work on Twenty Four Paintings - today's task was to check for clips and glitches...
I ended up having to remix one track which was badly affected...
However, frequencies on that particular piece are so low that, notwithstanding the reboot, it still rattles my speakers...
What to do...
We'll see...
Out around 9:15 and drove into town to the Festival Theatre, to join the queue of cheapskate opera bufties...
We were here to try and obtain £50-£60 tickets for this afternoon's performance of Mozart's "Don Giovanni" (in the cans as I waited) for a mere £10...
Planes flew overhead as I waited...
The sun shone and mucked up the auto focus on my camera as I waited...
In at 10, twenty people in front of me - out at 10:10, tickets secured...
Yaroo...
Home via the market at Stockbridge where tasty croissants were collected...
Autumn is in full bloom (or decay I suppose)...
Home for breakfast...
Other concerts booked...
Baroque - Handel, Bach, Corelli, Vivaldi - in London early next year; Dar Williams in Glasgow in March (despite the fact she's in Edinburgh the day before - we will make a day of it)...
More work, lunch, more work, out at 3pm...
Drove back to the theatre and took our seats...
The sound of the musicians going through their warm up exercises as they arrived one by one, reminded me of some of my recently acquired outlandish German Contemporary composers' material...
A packed house...
Three and a half hours of Mozart's tunes and a story of seduction, rape, murder, ghosts and general not very niceness...
It was a comedy...
Wild applause for the cast...
Home via a purveyor of tasty pasta and enjoyed some relaxing TV - "Michael Portillo's Great Continental Train Journeys" visited Dresden, Leipzig, Braunschweig, Hamburg and Kiel and, once again, got us thinking about trips we'd like to take...
"Drifters" continued to entertain as did the very good indeed "Toast of London"...
"Person of Interest" was a telly highlight too, as the weekend drew to a close...
Meanwhile mum had been on a day out with sister Sheila on a trip to the Peebles Hydro hotel...
Late on, a report advised the lady of advancing years had polished off five courses...
Sounds like they had a good time too...
Another good Sunday...
Lights out...
Highlight of the Day : Opera visit...
