Red Mass

Watched Downton Abbey - excellent. Up early to get buses to cathedral for Red Mass - I was crozier and Liz mitre. Choir sang Victoria and Byrd and Latin mass. Saw Muriel. Baroness Scotland read the prayers.To mosaic for an hour - Linda is off to Mexico so has lent us tools. To St Michael Cornhill for Roger Judd's recital which included Parry, Stanford, Dame Ethel Smyth and Darke. Excellent playing and worth missing tai chi for once. I sang at St Michael's in 1973 when Harold Darke used to come to the carol service and sit on the vicar's lap Canon Norman Motley. Fred and Peter Stevens were there. Home on bus and fast train and then to Vickie's to choose music for December and Songs of Praise. Home for dinner and Liz resting after going to London Transport museum with Louise and Ciarán, Did some reading of Cantwell-Smith on the bus and train. To Catenians with Colin. Provincial President's visit and lots of visitors. They liked the chocs I bought at Tescos.
