Still waiting for the people to turn up to inspect my house again. It's moderately tidy. I just discovered the "Global Peace Index of 2008" which lists the most "peaceful" countries. Australia is at number 27, the UK at 49 and the USA at 97. Apparently the most "peaceful" country is Iceland!
The weekend was fun. I was playing music on Sunday basically from 10am until 10pm. With the TOPS orchestra we rehearsed Mahler 4 and Strauss' Tod und Verklarung. Later a group of us ended up at Maureen's house for a little chamber concert. We performed a Vivaldi cello sonata, the first movement of Borodin's 2nd quartet, the first movement of Beethoven's Ghost piano trio, the Brahms clarinet trio, a Beethoven piano quartet and the Mozart clarinet quintet.
On Monday, I went to the Beecroft orchestra where we were rehearsing Beethoven's 7th Symphony.
Still waiting ... they'd better turn up!

I suppose Iceland might not score quite so well if the survey took into account the views of your average rock!
