Busy day...
Two main events on a single day. We went to have the 2-week scan done in hospital, and it seems that Spud is doing OK - he was lying on his side looking placid. As far as the lady could see, all was present and correct. Indeed - he. We're having a boy! So those who need to know: the wool is blue. The muisjes are blue. V happily glowing. We got some of the photos, which we will in due course scan and put on-line for the family. Because of the position he was lying in, the photos aren't as clear as they might have been, but we can see a spine. We can see a head and tummy and occasional hand or foot. Good to see Vic relaxing, because she'd been worried.
In other news, I did my "gig" at the Staines Folk & Blues club. It went well - even some of the Maidenhead crowd came to see me, and were given floor spots by Da Man Barry. Couldn't resist inserting "Back home again" by John Denver. It's my first baby! I'm allowed some vom. I think I hit the right balance between the serious songs and the funny ones (Tom Lehrer, Mitch Benn). I think the most important thing to remember is to relax. Which I managed after the first couple of songs. I'd been studying two songs that I don't do too often: Suzanne Vega's "The Queen And The Soldier", which I like for the general content, and Bart Peeters' "She goes Nana", which I like for the interesting chords. Managed to pull them off OK. Maybe next I'll learn the words to Gary Jules' "Mad World". And another cheerful one, or my repertoire will be titled "Music to slit your wrists by". Down, of course. Not across.
