Autumn Opera

So - 2 weeks until the start of Autumn Term.  My tasks for today are many, the road ahead isn't yellow but is decidedly bumpy, full of many twists and turns and forks and junctions.  I am sure there will be the occasional evil witch along the way to entice me into a secluded forest where werewolves lurk........OK enough of the  drama and the scary childrens story.

Today will be an opera fest - I will be listening to The A-Z of Opera and making many notes on who is who and what is what.  Then I have 100 Opera Classics to listen to and try to understand!  I will also be sending my CV to The Met in NY to see if there is any work experience that I can do next summer and of course to register an interest in working for them long term. (ENO, Glyndebourne & The Royal Opera House already have my details.)

With Christmas already poking it's head over the horizon, I must also think about work during that time - retail outlets must be approached unfortunately....... yeuck!

So, with dampness in the air, leaves falling and turning into glorious copper shade, the ground too wet to work and cats curled safely up on beds and in baskets the dramatic world of opera (and large wagnerian style diva's) awaits........bring it on, it will be a perfect day!
