Hello Hivers!
Anke here aka Anna-NewKey.
I'm off sick for six weeks but hope to start working in some form on Monday.
My bone seems to be healing well and I can rid myself of the sling in a weeks time to start some exercises.
We cancelled one gig at a pub in St Neots so far which was supposed to be 3 sets meaning moving about for five hours easily and I just didn't feel up to it. Colin was fine as the football was on anyhow. He'll give us another date later in the year.
We did however honour our gig at the Ziba in Hitchin last night, with me just singing.
I managed ok standing up for the duration although I was worried to start with that it would not.
It was a great evening and it took my mind off things.
Tuning up with Marcus watching
Craig organises the music for the place; he's a jazz musician and his fingers absolutely fly across his keyboard. He doesn't need sheets to play along which he did for most of the time.

"What a Wonderful World" the jazzy way before heading home; I really needed to rest.

PS it was hammering down all day and we didn't expect many people, but the place appears to be popular with the locals.
Ich bin sechs Wochen krankgeschrieben, hoffe aber, am Montag wieder in irgendeiner Form arbeiten zu können.
Mein Knochen scheint gut zu heilen und in einer Woche kann ich die Schlinge abnehmen und mit ein paar Übungen beginnen.
Wir haben bisher einen Auftritt in einem Pub in St. Neots abgesagt, der eigentlich aus drei Sets bestehen sollte, was bedeutet, dass ich mich locker fünf Stunden lang bewegen müsste, aber ich fühlte mich einfach nicht dazu in der Lage. Colin fand das ok da sowieso Fußball lief. Er wird uns später im Jahr einen anderen Termin geben.
Wir haben jedoch gestern Abend unseren Auftritt im Ziba in Hitchin eingehalten, bei dem ich nur gesungen habe.
Ich habe es ganz gut geschafft, die ganze Zeit zu stehen, obwohl ich mir am Anfang Sorgen gemacht habe, dass das nicht der Fall sein würde.
Es war ein toller Abend und hat mich auf andere Gedanken gebracht.
Einstimmen, während Marcus zusieht
Craig organisiert die Musik für den Ort; er ist Jazzmusiker und seine Finger fliegen förmlich über seine Tastatur. Er braucht keine Noten, um mitzuspielen, was er die meiste Zeit tat.

„What a Wonderful World“ auf die jazzige Art, bevor ich nach Hause ging; ich brauchte wirklich Ruhe.

PS: Es hat den ganzen Tag in Strömen geregnet und wir hatten nicht mit vielen Leuten gerechnet, aber der Ort scheint bei den Einheimischen beliebt zu sein.

Hope you are recovering well. It will take a while, but I'm sure you want to keep performing. Take it easy and have fun.
I'm glad I could check out how I cope in a relaxed environment, and all seems well under the circumstances!
The sling comes off in a week's time and my guess is that the little bass will take its place somehow.. 😄
Within reason to be sure, easy does it.
Anna I'm glad to read that you are improving, despite how difficult it must be not to be able to do everything. However, getting back into the routine at least partially by singing is an excellent idea.
If you get back to your schedule tomorrow, all the best. May you recover very soon. Best regards!
Hey, Nina!
Thank you! Pretty tired of watching telly.. lol
And a stroll to the park yesterday let me feel that I need to get moving again, it tired me out 😂
Hope you're well!
Sending you left-handed hugs 🤗
You are almost there in the recovery stakes!
I can't tell you how happy I am that it's going in the right direction!
So sick of watching telly.. 🤣
I've been there. It's such a relief to be getting to the other side!
Oh no, you too?
How did it happen?
