Story filed: Winter festival, pipes and being cold
Hi folks, hope you're doing well especially during the cold time of year. Seriously I'm so cold, and don't say 'oh well then go and put more layers on or turn the heat on' cos I do, I'm just still cold. I don't mind winter, because I can rug up with a nice hot beverage and be very content. It's getting up in the morning, (as if getting up in the morning wasn't already difficult enough) especially when I have to get up early for swimming training. Another thing that happens this time of year as I'm sure you're aware of is the winter festival. I haven't been there on my own accord just yet but I did go with my pipes and drums band as we were performing that day. We got there and warmed up in Macadie Park, and while we were warming up we accumulated a bit of a crowd. We even got arsk for some photos, which was a first, I guess we're just that good. The performance went well, we played a couple of numbers and we had some Irland dancing in between along with the drummers performing the drummers salute. Overall it was a very successful performance with minor errors. There were other performers, one before use and one after use and they two were very good. We did get paid for this gig and it was in the form of two tickets to rides at the winter festival and a voucher to Lewy's Pizza House. Lewy's Pizza is, in my opinion, is one of the best pizza places in town, their pizza is just so good. We did have to share the voucher but that was no problem. So my friend and I, accompanied by another band member and my friend's girlfriend headed over and got ourselves a pizza, luckily my friend and I were the only ones who were having the pizza, the other two didn't want any and that made us very happy. After a very good night we backed up our gear back on the bus and headed home. That's all we have time for folks so I hope you enjoyed and try not to freeze to death.
Until next time
