This is an extraordinary piece of singing. Not the lisping choir but a German one.
I’m in the waiting room at the eye hospital ( first visit of two)
Another day another procedure.
( Ive had to turn the volume down for this one)
And the vagaries of normal life ebb and flow
As they have a habit of doing
When I got home yesterday a package awaited me on the kitchen wall
A card and a gift of jam from Lywena ( Widow to Ralph the Gentleman Farmer)
Who lives down the lane and across the Felin Valley
It’s for my counselling certificate, I start seeing clients proper next week!

How lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe jam, not the eye procedure x
🧆🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐
DeleteHope the eye appointment is over quickly!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely is the jam and card. Counselling proper starts next week - WooHoo! I'd say good luck, but we all know you don't need it - you were born to it! (But good luck anyway!) xx
Thank you Chuck 👨🏼🎓🙏🤞🏻👁️🩷
DeleteHope the eye procedure is already over and was no biggie. Always good to have one more of these appointments visible in the rear view mirror of life!
ReplyDeleteNice card and jam from a thoughtful neighbor.
Real counselling next week!!!
Where do you find these amazing choirs?
Hugs!
I feel life has started again
DeleteHope the eye procedure goes well, John. Your visit with friends on the last post sounded so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to get the jam and card. Best of luck in your new counseling endeavors. xo
It was a difficult afternoon 🥹
DeleteA bright future follows the sunrise.
ReplyDeleteAmen
DeleteI hope your eye appointment goes well. As for the choir, I thought it was awful but each to his own. Happy you will be starting your new career soon, well done. Gigi
ReplyDeleteYes a marmite piece for sure,I get that
DeleteIt reminded me of a Māori Haka.
ReplyDeleteYes me too. Extraordinary! I loved it.
DeleteI did too, Incredibly powerful and theatrical piece
DeleteIt's such a lovely feeling that people think of you and act upon it. Good luck at the eye clinic. x
ReplyDeleteYes, she has always supported me from afar x
DeleteI hope the eye procedures get done easily.
ReplyDeleteCounseling proper? Hm, is there another certificate for the improper kind??
Of course xx
DeleteWhat a nice surprise on your return home. People are so thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed, my sister was lovely to take me to my appointment
DeleteYou have the most thoughtful and caring neighbors. Lucky man!
ReplyDeleteScheduling clients already...you must be thrilled. Off to a great start.
I have enrolled in a Welsh government course online for people who are starting their own businesses
DeleteHope all went well at the eye hospital today!
ReplyDeletePainful👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️
DeleteThat eye thing sounds too grim for words. I'm just sorry you have to deal with it.
ReplyDeleteThe choir - at first I thought it was just a mess but by the end it touched something in me so deep that it brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing that.
It’s incredibly visceral , and probably cathartic to sing
DeletePeople are so kind and good. It's surprising our species has such a shitty reputation.
ReplyDeleteI have found this to be very true , always
DeleteHow many fucking injections are you being put through ?
ReplyDeleteLee
50 a5 least
DeleteFuck me
DeleteLeexxxx
The beginning of the video reminded me of a haka dance.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll be happy to start seeing patients. Well done.
Eye torture, jam, and strange choral singing, don't appear to have any connection, but you insisted they do. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI really feel for you with those eye injections!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a kitchen wall where kind neighbours left thoughtful gifts. It's a two way thing though, and I think you are a good friend and neighbour too. Exciting to be starting out on your counselling journey too.
Yes, I bought myself a new pencil case as a boost
