Fire – Mädchenchor Hamburg


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!

  2. Hope the eye appointment is over quickly!
    How 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

    Hope 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!
    Nice card and jam from a thoughtful neighbor.
    Real counselling next week!!!
    Where do you find these amazing choirs?

    Hugs!

    I 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

  13. That eye thing sounds too grim for words. I'm just sorry you have to deal with it.
    The 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.

    1. It’s incredibly visceral , and probably cathartic to sing

  14. People are so kind and good. It's surprising our species has such a shitty reputation.

  16. The beginning of the video reminded me of a haka dance.
    I'm sure you'll be happy to start seeing patients. Well done.

  17. Eye torture, jam, and strange choral singing, don't appear to have any connection, but you insisted they do. Well done!

  18. I really feel for you with those eye injections!

    I 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.
