Janathon day 24: concert

Today has basically been a music day. OK, this morning was spent briefly helping out Mrs H plan a yoga event by checking out some possible local venues, but once lunch was done, it has been rehearsals and concerts all the way.

The concert was with the orchestra I play in, the Misbourne Symphony Orchestra. It went pretty well, all told, with an excellent cello soloist playing a concerto with us and one of our best performances of Rachmaninoff's Scheherazade. All told, there was 3 hours of rehearsal and another 2 of playing, or thereabouts. This was quite an ideal, so I'm tempted to claim it as exercise - no question that it's very physical!

I did also slip in a quick 1:00 plank when I got home, though, just to salve my conscience!
