It's been a long month, getting used to being back at work after an illness that lasted a couple of months and making the money stretch a bit further than normal. However, I have managed a couple of evenings out.
Isle of Wight Symphony Orchestra
Another wonderful concert by the IOW Symphony Orchestra. The concert began with 'Epic March' by Ireland, followed by Symphony No. 1 by Shostakovich. After the interval was a Violin Concerto in B Minor by Elgar, with the fantastic musical talents of soloist Charlie Lovell-Jones. Superb.
Social Night
I attended a meal out with a group I belong to, at the Victoria Lodge Hotel in Shanklin. This was very pleasant; we had a three course meal, which, for me, consisted of tomato soup followed by salmon in hollandaise sauce with a selection of vegetables, then apple pie and ice cream. After this was cheese and biscuits and tea or coffee. Once the meal was finished we were given a '2017 quiz' and a sheet of Christmassy anagrams to do. My team did rather badly, as we knew little about sport or popular TV! I may go again next year.
