Back into the fray

After a month enforced absence, due to a minor stroke, it was time to assess how my recovery is going. I reasoned that the best thing to do was to go and do the warm-up and one piece at Newstead Abbey Singers. They all know me very well and the assistant conductor is very good.

It all went very well. There was not much difficulty over the speech (the stroke has left me with aphasia) and the conducting has been unaffected. The only problem seemed to be a physical tiredness, due to the lateness in the day and the movement involved. So all I need to do is develop the stamina.
