Lines composed whilst packing

I shall be flying off in a few hours to Edinburgh (although not before going to a meeting at work), where tomorrow I will then travel on to St Andrew's for the final of the competition in which The Sun Rising is to be performed. Having remembered this morning to bind a copy of the score I feel my preparations are pretty much complete - indeed practically everything has been out of my hands since early February, and my success in this competition depends now almost entirely on the performance of the orchestra and the disposition of the judges.  Nevertheless, whatever happens it will be a valuable experience and an interesting trip to somewhere I haven't ever visited; so, should my phone be up to the job, I may attempt a spot of mobile blogging whilst there.  

A full report with plenty of pictures will be available after I return on Friday night. If possible, excerpts from the recording of my piece may also appear so you can hear what all the fuss is about.  Pray for good weather!

I'm suprised you don't have more people following your blog. Your writing is very effective. If you ever need another outlet, you could surely make it as an author. I'm eager to hear the results of the contest. Good luck!
