WITCHES:
We sang a few new operatic choruses in rehearsal this week (Thursday, that was) that are to be included in the concert in November.
One of them was The Witches Of Macbeth, during which for the first time in my life - or at least the first time to my knowledge - I sang out alongside the other 2ndSopranos in a suitably grating and cackly voice that "I cut the boar's throat" and "we cursed a sailors wife, a-grieved she will be".
Needless to say, we gave it all we'd got.
You have to, with words like that, haven't you?
WEE-WEE:
A couple of days ago in the garden while Bingo faffed around as he always did to avoid doing what he knew he'd come out there for, I got fed up and yelled up to him that I was freezing and damp and if he didn't get a move on I would feed the treat waiting in the kitchen for him to the cat.
"NO WEE-WEE, NO SAUSAGE," I bellowed, crossly; "I MEAN IT!"
Upon hearing this threat, Bingo pulled his socks up and immediately set about doing the necessary, and I felt triumphantly satisfied..... until I happened to glance across to the right and saw my next door neighbour stood at his open door, staring at me with wide and frightened eyes.
..... oh. .....
There was only one thing to do, so I did it. I beamed a big friendly smile, bid him good day, told Bingo he was a good boy and sailed back into the house with my head held high to hand over the promised sausage.

WORMHOLES:
Last night - in the midst of a complicated and terribly exciting magical plot involving the cast of the TV show Friends - I dreamt that I while I was running I was suddenly sucked into an underwater wormhole and pulled apart into millions and millions of little pieces of sparkling energy, blown about all over the universe and allowed to float above many interesting looking scenes before being sucked back rapidly down and down and down and in and in and in until I had been forcibly squeezed and shaped into myself again, upon which I continued running as though none of the above had happened.
.....no. I don't know why, either.
It was interesting though.
