nige is surprised




frankly, i am surprised!

at how much can be achieved so quickly, with a little willingness and belief.

and very good friends and friends-of-friends, who are also professionals in their own spheres.

from an informal strategy planning session where it was mentioned that a CD was required, and seemed a distant goal, what materialised yesterday was so much more, so much fun, and frankly almost unbelievable. surreal and yet wonderful!

lunch with Charles ( without food! ) led to the idea of launching Blue Sky Stuff on 4th December with the operatwins singing as artistic support and to promote their Christmas single in support of the verein, to raise money for books-for-kids. trouble getting into Palais Auersberg led to a suggestion to use skybar on 2nd, which led to using the Turkish Embassy all day on 4th, to film the Jingle Bells Christmas single, interviews, elevators, a CD and a video both for release and of "the making of ....".

Stu organised the film crew, Boris, and recording crew, Joseph, changing from 2nd to 4th with ease. The operatwins organised the venue. Erina appeared from nowhere to play the piano. Moni organised the interviews. Mehmet filmed, organised and plied us with tea and coffee. Nige sat and smiled all day long without pause, apart from a tear or two.

here is just some of the incredible output:-

now it is the morning after, and the beginning of the rest of our lives. and as Anna so aptly put it last Friday morning, having had such a fantastic day, each day of the rest of our lives will be measured from a new starting point! we have changed the base line of expectation.
