Today is tuesday/Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday. In Britain today is pancake day!!!! So naturally I went down to the House of Parliament and saw some of the Lords and Ladies and press corp have a pancake race.
A pancake race is actually the most amazing event ever. Everyone has a frying pan and a cooked pancake. Each player must flip the pancake 3 times to a height of at least 3 feet while racing around a track. If you drop a pancake you start over. You play with relays. The first team to finish gets to go home with all the glory!!!!!!!
Like I said the most amazing thing ever. What could top that race? Well their outfits. Most of them were in suits with dress shoes running over drizzle-covered cobblestones with chef hats.
Also I used my fiddle for good. I came home and found a group of guys playing in the lobby. Next thing I know I find myself asking if I could play with them -- "my violin is upstairs...". I was tired and nervous, etc, etc but I still got it. And preceded to play for the next hour. Fun! And made all these neat friends because of it. I'm a newb when it comes to jamming but I guess it's all about sticking your neck out there and going for it.
Goodbye sleep and free time!
