Hob nobbing

For the second time in 4 days, I'm off to the Royal Albert Hall again tomorrow night. It's safe to say that the run up to this Christmas has been a tad more civilised than festive seasons past. We can apply for free tickets to certain shows through work, and after 5 years of missing out, I finally won in two different ballots. So tomorrow, it'll just be me, J, my mate from work and his girlfriend, a couple of thousands other audience members, a 500-strong choir and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. They're performing Handel's Messiah. I certainly wouldn't claim to know about or even particularly like that sort of music, but am preparing myself to be absolutely blown away by it. Hallelujah!
