Last night was rehearsal for Friday's 100 Poets event at the Carnegie Stadium. We're assembling near the pillars at the Western Terrace where we will be reading poetry to the arriving spectators.
This may come as a bit of a surprise to them.
What I didn't realise was that we were going to be actually INSIDE the grounds...
Our rehearsal was blessed with a visit from a photographer from Leeds City Council, which was unexpected. More unexpected was that said photographer was a friend of my husband's.
It was a great night, though, and the experience of reading aloud en mass really quite empowering; I've definitely discovered my Inner Performer.
My reworking of the French National Anthem (see post below) went down well. especially the line where it says that France makes England look good...'
Saw a fox foraging in the grounds and had a long wait for the bus, but finally got home to find a cup of tea waiting.
