3 proms
Wednesday Louise arrived with the boys and I looked after Seán while they went to get a grown up car seat for Ciarán. At first he was a bit unhappy but had his milk and rice cake and settled down to playing quite happily. He will be walking before he is one at this rate! Ciarán enjoyed being in the garden and announced the little house is No.24 and Grandad lives in a shop! We went to the prom. The talk featured Timothy West about playing Falstaff so I asked a question about Verdi's version and how Falstaff treated his followers. It was most interesting. At the prom we had Elgar and Walton's Falstaff plus lovely works by Bantock for cello and orchestra and Tchaik 4 well played by BBC National of Wales under Jan van Steen.
Thursday more games including monster bingo then they went to Angela's. We will not see them for 2 weeks as they are going to Ireland and not coming to Provincial President's Sunday after all as they go to Stansted early on the Monday. Worked on Liz's Power Point which just underline show much the cathedral needs a Pastoral council! To the Prom and Rachel Leach's entertaining version for children. McCabe commission, BBC Phil Beethoven 7. The second half was great with the Antonio Marquez company doing fantastic flamenco to Falla, encore without music and Ravel's Bolero. The concert was dedicated to the memory of the Spanish rail disaster victims on St James's day. It was brilliant although some Prommers left in disgust! Friday swam 20 and woke too early. Spoke to Ann in Eire. Saw Michael and he is happy with progress so far. I was fourth in the queue and went to the talk and enjoyed Siegfried conduced by Berlin. The last act bit with Erda is a bit long. Met Matt at the talk from Taunton! There has been much interest in Prince George of Cambridge!
