Well it's the weekend but things are crazier than ever. I"m off to San Francisco tomorrow for an over night trip and then back on the Red Eye through Vancouver on Monday night. This promises to make Tuesday a very long day. (When it rains....)
I picked up the tour booklets at the post office yesterday. Bring your glasses the types a bit small. (Booklet being the key word here). I'll hand those out on Thursday night as promised.
A couple of people have asked me how to make enties here. You only need to register (it takes 5 minutes). All of your email addresses have been added to the master blog editors list so that when you sign in you can post to the blog. I hope that some of you will take the opportunity to post your thoughts as we get closer to the departure date.
Have a great weekend!

When you wrote this, I had just returned to bed after a short trip to the...(sorry...TMI).
8 sleeps and some of those will be restfull assuming I can get the name of the medication you are on.
Time has certainly pased quickly on this adventure. It was odd to have a Thursday off. It cost me $100 as I was able to take my wife out for dinner because I had the night off. Certainly the least I could do for all the other Thursdays, don't you think?
Glad you had a golf game. I can't believe someone would toss their clubs and not retain full decorum when golfing with you!
Time to get back to the reality of work (at least for a couple more hours!)

8 Days until Departure
8 days. It's just a good thing I'm heavily medicated. At least you know I'm sleeping at night. Usually at this point there is no sleeping, Tina is kicking me out of bed because I'm tossing and turning and there is peace and unrest in the land.
Mercifully for all concerned, I go to bed early get up early and this allows peace and harmony in at the Willis Estate.
If you have been watching the weather in the UK you will notice that the temperature has been hovering around 20 - 24 degrees in Lincoln during the day and about 13-15 degrees at night. Please make sure you pack accordingly. Don't forget a rain jacket.
I'm pleased to report that the tour books have arrived and that I'll be picking them up from the post office tomorrow. So, the good news is that they will be available for the tour group on Thursday night at the Eucharist as planned. I will also have the additional shirts that people ordered as well.
Happy Friday!

Going through withdrawal.....
I think I'm having withdrawal from blog postings......I'm used to getting up, checking my mail and reading Don's latest message on the blog. What happened this morning??!!
I have to say it seems wierd not to have rehearsal tonight. We've been working so hard. Can't believe that this time is actually here. Becoming a reality as we get ready for the trip.......got pounds and trying to organize a carry on that fits the size required by Heathrow.
Enjoy the long weekend everyone!

9 Days until Departure
Thursday? It can't be Thursday I don't have a rehearsal!
I hope you are enjoying this period of rest before we go overseas. Feels a bit strange to have a Thursday without a musical gathering. Just means I'll get to bed at 6 pm instead of 11:00.
Apparently the final batch of music has arrived at the church. Clare will have that sorted for next Thursday evening. She will be in touch with those that need to bring their music next Thursday night.
Still no sign of the tour booklets. I have called GET to ask them to trace the package but you never know with Canada Post!
I was speaking with the Dean's Verger in Lincoln yesterday by phone. We discussed all things that will impact us next week. Including our need for punctuality. I assured him that everything will run on time. We will have our own key to the Song School which is where we will vest and store our music for the week. As we talked about ceremony he noted: There is the right way, the wrong way and then there is the Lincoln way. We'll cover the Lincoln way on Monday Morning at rehearsal.
Happy Non-Singing Thursday to you all. (don't forget to look at your music! please)

10 Days until Departure
Good Wednesday Morning to you all.
Starting to feel like NASA Counting down to lift off. Of course it's really been like that for me since September 2006 but whose counting really? Certainly not I!
I broke away from the world of work yesterday and got out in the heat of the day to swing those golf clubs. I have to tell you that it was one of the most entertaining rounds that I have played in recent history. Never have i watched someone hit the ball and then through their club farther than the ball travelled! It was just good fun. (And No, I don't through my clubs anymore.)
Good thing there was cold beer!
Niru, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Nice to have some else contribute to my ramblings.
Happy Wednesday.
