TWO MISSING BLOGS AND ONE MISSING TENOR

I think I've lost a couple of blogs. No bother - one was about time-travelling sushi and the other was about my different ways of laughing. Neither were as interesting as I've made them sound. Both are lost.

That's the last time I use that blog manager app anyway.

It started because I was trying to write about how I somehow ended up taking two grandmas to a concert. I finished the post, read it back, realised I was being ageist (about who's allowed to like what) and deleted it. Only, the blog app mysteriously deleted the previous two instead.

Not my grandmas - although I think both of them would have loved it, had they been alive of course. Nope, this was someone else's two grandmas - one singing in the choir and the other, just enjoying the music of Faure, Rutter, Hayden and Franck along with me in the audience.

"This is Matt," said one of them, introducing me to somebody else in the interval, "He's our driver."

Chuckles all round. I had been invited of course, and had offered to drive. Plus, this was a choir to which I myself had once belonged. It was nice to see them again.

"Do you think you'd like to come back?" asked one of my passengers on the way home. I scanned mentally through the 24 grey-haired men who had stood sweating like bow-tied waiters on the back row of the tiered staging. There had been a gap in the tenors.

"I need to be really protective of my time," I replied, "Especially my evenings."

It would be nice to be part of something like that, I suppose. I just don't feel like I can give it the bandwidth at the moment.

Well, not when there's time-travelling sushi to write about and lose, anyway.
