I blame the tree surgery for making me forget my music for choir yesterday. Three guys clambering into this four- or five-storey elm, with ropes and saws and things. I about had a heart attack when one of them took off his jacket and dropped it, because I just saw the falling object out of the corner of my eye. All was well, though, and now we no longer have a branch about to fall on our telephone line.

Not that we use our telephone line, but I think our cable is there too, and losing that WOULD be terrible.

I'm famous!

In a very small circle, at least. Just got back from the department Christmas party, which features various games of skill and chance. Last year, there was a game where they handed you a sock with 10 objects in it and asked you to guess what they all were by feel. And I won. And it turns out that I am now famous (or notorious) as That Girl Who Got Everything Right In The Guess-The-Sock-Contents Game Last Year. I met someone who was new this year and she said "That was you? Three different people have told me about you!"

Also it's apparently my fault that we didn't have that game this year. Oops. *is sad*
