Thursday 21 August - long practices, Sunbeam pizzas, Lisa rehearsal

Today was our second day of rehearsals at the Gym. But first, the floor had to be cleaned after someone (Rita) walked some doggy doo into the gym on her shoes - a typical French predicament.

Yesterday’s dusting off of the cobwebs had been of benefit, because today we were sounding much better.

In between a long morning and a long afternoon session, we went for a pizza lunch at the Sunbeam Cafe. But we resolved not to do that again, since our large order must have stretched the capacity of the ovens at the Sunbeam, resulting in very slow service.

In the evening, we took the PA system to the house and Lisa and Rita did a rehearsal of the numbers that Lisa would sing between sets at the concerts. Sounded good.
