Oh it's good to be back home!!
The fair was rather straining, especially since I was there on my own and a normal fair day included about 3 hours of car driving (half of it in a horrible 7 line fair traffic management system) and about 9 hours of standing around, all tarted up with pantsuit, high heels, make up et al., smiling, looking attentive and not as bored (and in pain) as I was. (No, there are no pictures!!)
Anyway, enough whining. I am back and made an almost full recovery (Save some big bruises on my right leg, of which I have no idea where I got them. Probably bumped something against my leg when taking down the booth again.) and there are now much more pleasant times ahead. The Leipzig christmas market opened today and I plan to pay it a visit sometime this weekend. (Yea, I know, kitschy, sentimental, commercialised, ... but it's fun anyway, so shut up and have a gingerbread.).
The second highlight of this weekend will be the Skatalites concert I'll see on Saturday. For those who don't listen to Ska, the Skatalites can be considered to be among the "founding fathers" of today's Ska music. They were most popular around '63 - '65, today they are of course all pretty old guys (And girls they bring Doreen Shaffer, yay!!).
But they still do some considerable rockin! And it is to be supposed that there might even be a fair amount of enjoyable skankin' going on among the faithful followers of the acustic and sensual delight that is good Ska music.
Jiggy-Dah!
