But to make up for it....a few pics.
Wednesday was our Founder's Day Dinner.
Preparations ensued....
I don't know how I ended up at the center of this very special, very traditional, British establishment event. Hey hoe.... The event started with a service in the chapel. There was an address given by the Headmaster of Charterhouse that was impressive in its acumen and interest. It seems that it is a big deal to give this address and looking at the list of those who have done so over the recent past, it includes the past three Archbishops of Canterbury.
The meal was four courses with sorbet between and four types of wine. The video includes some of our entertainment provided by the Charterhouse Choir singing from the minstrel gallery.
Many notables had attended over the years including just to name one you'd recognized, the Duke of Wellington.
After our do I have a Xmas party to attend; the Cheek of It Burlesque School as I'm an unofficial Cheekette.
Thursday included attending the 5th Anniversary Xmas performance of my pal Kai and her Kool Kats at Ronnie Scott's.
Today we all know that one of the greatest inspirational leaders of all time has passed "to the Ages".
My small contribution was to lower our standard as a sign of respect.
