Keeping Still

I am minus my voice at the moment. I have a cold, and my capacity to speak is almost zero. Some might say that is nice and peaceful, but to me it is just pretty frustrating. When I try to have a conversation on the phone I have to limit myself to three minutes, then my voice gives in. Not very friendly, but I can't help it. The most frustrating thing is not being able to sing, I don't usually realise how much I sing. Last night I sat and listened to Donny Osmond in concert in Wales, and he sang all my favourites and I couldn't sing along. And again tonight at the Concert for Diana he turned up again and sang Joseph and I had to keep still. It's just not fair.
