the essential kit

A lovely weekend!

We had a very busy and lovely weekend in these parts. Friday was my sister’s work-in-progress performance of the musical she’s writing. It was *splendid*, with four songs, the first of which was so awesome that the audience just sat there gaping at the end of it.
