Rest

My back continued to play up with the additional worry of pains in my right hip. Did some sorting out of books for the course - which to read now. Started on John Cornwell on Newman. Watched Monteverdi Vespers from last year's Proms - rather dull and samey despite good use of the hall. To chorus for Missa. It was an open rehearsal and Stefan was being very funny. 2 tenors and Paul Williamson invited me to a Brahms Requiem at Sloane Street. The Missa is hard on the body! Watched Prince Philip at 90 on return home. Friday up early and swam 30 lengths which definitely helped the back and hip pains.
