Téléthon continues. The Arc en Ciel did another fund-raising concert last night, in a small town called Montchaude, which is near Barbezieux and quite a way from here.
We provided the whole concert this time, which was quite a sing for a smallish a capella group - a capella aside from accordion accompaniment in Moscow Nights (Russian version) and tenor recorder playing the violin intro to Mozart's Laudate Dominum. And TWO standing ovations! The director said "no more" after the second encore, as we'd sung for over two hours with only a 10-minute break. Most people went off to the post-gig party at the Mairie, but my fellow travellers weren't interested. I didn't mind, being quite tired myself.
It was still almost completely clear, and, as on the way there, I sat in the back of C's car trying to watch for Geminids, but no meteors were visible. It was too cold to stay outside looking for them. The weather changed three days ago from cloudy and occasionally very wet, to clear. The first day was sunny and warm, but since then it's been very cold, much colder than usual for December here. There is even a suggestion of snow in the weather forecast! The plants must be in shock, especially those in flower. I went to bed with two hotwater bottles; they are still warm so I don't feel like getting up yet.
