hello all you merrow-smiths. you.re really going at it. it makes my family seem very strange in their four non communicative corners of the earth. anyway i.ve finally figured out how to do it and , i have to say i think my husband has done a fine job in setting this up. will i get to meet pete and family finally in october? i will be working in glyndebourne so perhaps you can all make a dress rehearsal? ive seen the delicious children on video in africa drumming their hearts out. julian will tell you i,m rather partial to african drumming and talk about it rather a lot.
anyway here i am in lyon, had my beer alone in the cafe after our second night. and glad to have you all to talk to in this funny hotel. it,s a great show with lovely marionettes on clouds singing belting out haydn arias. kids seem to be ecxtatic about it. the band is good, with the xeption of my kamakaze desk partner who just plods on regardless of phrasing or anything so i am playing very quietly most of the time to compensate.
at the weekend julian is coming and we have some serious eating planned. i have been saving my subsistence and calories. sometimes i guess there are advantages to not having children¦
lots of love to you all, ruthxxx
