Wine

Stress.
Puppy wanting attention, customers wanting attention, and a 3 course "concert supper" for 18 people after hours. The music committee at the Church organises 4 special concerts during the year and the brochure contains an invitation to book a pre-event meal with us.
It felt like a restaurant for a few hours, except that we're not licensed so they brought their own wine (one didn't bring a screw cap. Cue frantic search for a corkscrew).
The "event" was a performance by the choristers of St George's Chapel, Windsor. They all arrived by coach for a rehearsal this afternoon, then had tea with us. After sandwiches and crisps and cake they gave us a private mini-performance: Panis Angelicus, complete with a hiccough from one of the boys who'd only just finished his tea.
It was remarkably moving.
A bit like a Britain's Got Talent audition.
