Modified Rapture

Last Thursday I went to the university G&S Society’s production of The Mikado. It was a little frightening to realise that 10 years after I was a not wholly note-perfect second clarinet for the York uni. society’s production I still know almost the entire thing, but gratifying that although this lots acting and production was better, our Little List lyrics were superior. I think that Gilbert and Sullivan may be best performed by students rather than professionals who want to take it seriously, but I should like to see a professional production once just to hear the violins in tune for “Were you not to Ko-Ko plighted.”

Also, one of the male flunkies was dream casting for Ivan Vorpatril.

About to have a nervous breakdown, as leaving work in a week, and had virtually no time to do any preparation for same. Arrgh! I had intended to go into the office at the weekend, but was just too tired. Instead after many weeks of labout I finished making this dress (black with the satin inset, but the shorter version) , and it fits like a glove and is absolutely sensational. Pity I'm leaving Cambridge before I'll have a chance to wear it!

ETA: Have decided to buy a lap-top computer. Tell me, F'list, your thoughts on PC or AppleMac? Bearing in mind that I basically want it for word-processing and the internet.

I really do like the way Macs work (as liking the way they look goes without saying!) and reliability - it's just the "can I justify the expense" business I've got to think about!
