Eva's journal

The new corset fit me reasonably well when I tried it on with no bones and by lacing it myself. Some pieces will have to be redone because they are too short but other than that I think it will work. Surprisingly enough even this much smaller corset which I thought would leave a 10 centimetre gap in the back almost laced closed. Either I'm very "corsetable" or my waist has become smaller since I measured it two weeks ago.

I've just returned from singing practice, we're learning "Thus saith my Chloris bright" (which can be found here) right now and it's beginning to sound beautiful. To my great joy we got a new strong soprano in Ragnhild from Norway this autumn. She is trained and learns songs very quickly from notes. This is good because I don't and I'm also a strong soprano so usually I drench the other soprano which is a problem when I'm not totally sure of the melody (and I have to be very sure to feel confident enough to open up and sing). But now I hear her and learn much faster than I did before.
