So, it's been awhile again since my last post, my apologies! I have been deeply entrenched in the London catering scene. It can't all be treble clefs and arpeggios for this wayfaring soprano, sometimes, I have to make some money. I've signed on with a catering staffing agency and have been doing waitressing shifts around town. This past week, I have been working at the 'innocent cafe'. This was a pop-up restaurant, which endeavoured to feed 5000 people their 5 servings of fruits and vegetables in 7 days, for only 5 pounds a meal. I worked there for all 7 days... 10 + hours a day! Innocent Smoothies is a company that makes well, smoothies. They are very into health and wellness and promote healthy diets and lifestyles. The cafe was set up in an old tram shed, essentially an empty warehouse, fitted with wooden picnic tables and decorated with all sorts of plants and flowers. There was a 10 foot wall made entirely out of lettuce! It looked really great, and a live jazz band created a wonderful ambiance. There were 9 servers, running around like crazy serving food to the masses. It was quite the job. My legs are covered in bruises from walking into picnic benches and I lost a solid 10 lbs from eating only vegetarian food and being on my feet 10 hours a day. It's a good diet plan.
And today, is Canadian Thanksgiving! And, since I live with Canadians and have some connections at the Canadian High Commission, I'm have turkey today! Pumpkin pie, pecan pie, turkey, cranberry sauce, the works! I'm so looking forward to it. But first, I'm headed up the road to the Music academy to do a little bit of rehearsing.
Happy Thanksgiving Canada! Love you.
