Cake or Death...

Another busy day starting with some of the challanges of building a partnership, keeping a range of different partners, content up to date and facing in the same direction. This is a key aspect of our work but not without its challenges. It is then onto casework and catching up with issues financial as it is our financial administrators first day back from leave. An afternoon of administration sees my desk a little clearer than it was at the start of the day. The days highlight was finding for a mere £1 one of the most beautiful records ever made. In 1965, at age 20, Jaqueline du PrĂ© recorded the Elgar concerto for EMI with the London Symphony Orchestra and Sir John Barbirolli, which brought her international recognition. This recording has since become the benchmark reference for the work, and one which has never been out of print since its release over forty years ago.

Our lyric today is actually a piece of stand up comedy 'set to Lego'...it will resonate with those members of HVA staff who shared part of my partnership day...enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZVjKlBCvhg
