2 days to the wedding and Gillian Weir

I went to visit Grandma and she had at last had the scan on her leg. A blood clot had been found so she was on new injections to thin her blood. Dennis and AnnMarie came from Harlow and Dennis had a meeting with the whole team about the nursing and medical care so at last something is happening. I went round to Sharon's to take the cheque and she was busy working on the stunning flowers. Did various odd jobs -cleaning shoes, ironing while Liz was the hospital. Also listened to 2 proms on HDD - Concertgebouw playing Debussy and Wagner sublimely under Haitink and the Martinu piano concerto No. 4. Liz went with Ann to collect the cake and take the decorations to the Roehampton club. I went to hear Dame Gillian Weir at the cathedral. De Grigny, Vierne and a splendid Toccata, Fugue and hymn on "Ave maris stella" by Flor Peeters. The Reubke sonata was the most familiar piece and the highlight. Peter Eben's Moto ostinato and Finale seems pretty pointless even though "Salve Regina" does thunder out on the pedals. Standing ovation was well deserved. I saw Martin Ford from Magdalen Oxford and Greg from Pembroke, Richard Pilliner, Peter Wright and Francis. Our photo is in Oremus at Alton Towers! Martin Baker has a greying beard which he said was just laziness. Good to see Michael Martin, Thomas Wilson and Simon again all looking very smart as always! Adrian Adams came on my train so we were able to compare notes about the wedding. Getting very excited. Here are Ann and Josie on the bus this morning!
