Nice work if...

Worked overtime this last weekend. I was required to be at the Presbyterian Synod’s AGM. (A Synod, in this case, is a group of presbyteries, which each cover a group of parishes.)
Because both my bosses were involved in presentations and such, and because I play the piano and they sing, I was roped in to play some music at a few points during the gathering. It gave me a chance to play three new piano pieces I’ve
written since the beginning of the year, which was good, and besides that I was involved in playing with the music group who played for the congregation during the various services we had over the day and a half.
I guess it’s a good way to ‘work’, but it’s a little different to the nine-to-five type work I’ve been used to for some time. And I can hardly complain about being paid to play the piano. It’s not often that happens these days!
Each of the musicians and singers wore ties that the boss had bought from Australia on his recent (working) trip. They all had musical elements in them, notes and keyboards and other such accoutrements. No designer jewelry (as opposed to jewellery, a much more sensible way to spell the word), but the ties caused some comment on their own.
