Three weeks in...

and I'm wondering where the time has gone.

I've joined the local choir - Valley Winds Music Association - and we have some 80 singers. We're too big for the church now so tend to practice in the hall next door. It makes a nice change to have a good number of bass and tenor voices (about 30 men), as most choirs I have been a part of are mainly women. Our Christmas concert will be in Banff this year as we'll have the band playing with us too so need a big venue. It should be quite interesting!

I've also volunteered at ArtsPlace and have been putting up posters all over town for upcoming events. It gets me out of the house every day for a few hours and I've distributed about 80 out of the 100 posters so far. My legs don't know what's hit them as I've not walked this much for some time. The temperature has been quite variable over the last few weeks and it was great walking around town when it was 15C-18C but the last few days haven't been much above freezing and yesterday had a high of -5C. One of my friends commented that in a few months I'll be wishing for -5C (thanks Jonathan!) Think I'll need more layers!

And as for the baking, it has taken a bit of a backseat of late as Mark has had a few issues with tight ski clothing :-)
