Music, sweet music

I went to my first choir rehearsal tonight. We sang most of the Haydn Imperial Mass (sometimes known as the Nelson Mass, apparently). It sounded okay, the tenor section right behind me were booming out their part very confidently. I managed quite well considering it's been so long since I've sung anything and I was sight-singing. Everyone seemed very pleasant. I shall go back next week.

Only I'll cycle home a different way. For some mad reason I thought it would be a good idea to go along The Terrace, and I ended up having to first cycle up a very steep hill and then freewheel down another very steep hill, brakes on and squeaking in the rain. That was fun. Next time, I turn left and take the longer-but-flatter route.
