Second Sunday of Lent

Up for 7 and the boys were up. Seán enjoying an explore. Played Andriessen on Aus der tiefe, Hurford on Caswall and Bach Erbarm dich. Found some vocal scores in the cupboard and an index to the settings and anthems. Put organ music in alphabetical order. We started with "Stand up, stand up for Jesus" but the rest of the hymns were fine. Glory be to Jesus, There's a wideness, I heard the voice of Jesus say and Forty days and forty nights. 28 in congregation and family came to remove the stone dog with the purple bow from the funeral so no chance to discuss with Fr Paul so emailed him. Very nice reply saying I was admirable as always and just right so no need to worry. Waiting for Liz sat in the sun reading the Tablet and listened to Just a minute. Dennis came down and Ciaran playing with Lego and in garden. A glorious day and a lovely lunch of lamb and apple pie and semifreddo. To St John's for concert by St Bart's orchestra Beethoven Coriolan, Suite by clarinettist Nasir-Hill and Schubert Unfinished. They play well. Film about Chanel and Stravinsky. There is no evidence of an affair between them!
