Musical evening No‚ I haven’t been to a musical (lately). But Friday "my" choir and I had an appointment with‚ well‚ the rest of the population here‚ really. The local choirs (5) and whoever else who wanted to come along‚ were gathered to sing. The choirs had 2-3 songs each in between‚ but the rest was pure singalong (not karaoke..).

Only when the mosquitoes started coming in great number were we brought back to reality. We picked ourselves
