Feis and things
The Feis was today. I had a bad dream about it a few nights ago where I was on a stage in this huge hall, an enormous desolate wooden stage, and the judges were staring loftily down at me from a big high podium, and I had to play for about five hundred people.
Nothing could have been further from reality! It was held in a room smaller than my school theatre, all nicely upholstered in red carpet and curtains, and containing a piano, a desk, and about six people in the audience. Plus, the adjudicator lowered her intimidation level by getting a cup of tea half way through.
It was quite fun, actually. I played very well for the way I usually do, but as I had expected most of the other people were much better than me. Ah, well. I never thought I would win.
I plan to watch the last episode of Jeeves & Wooster tonight. It'll be sad to have no more left, but it has to be done some time.
