Solidarity

 Wonderful St Martin's walk along Long Water Hampton Court. St John's Mass. Serving a Wounded World in Interreligious Solidarity a very interesting session with Arundel and Brighton on this new document from Vatican and World Council of churches. Good to see friends there! The GCCM Advent retreat did not engage. |Excellent South African. Stirred puddings and found Advent stuff. Liz went to sleep. Hyacinth dropped by and saw garden. Made Advent wreath while listening to St John's Cambridge. To St John's for Advent carols. I do not like socially distanced singing partly because I cannot hear others and I could not hear what Adrian was saying and said so. I moved next to Fr Andrew. It makes no sense if the professionals are there to boost us to have them not sitting with us! That soprano was there again and on the recording all you hear is her and it's shrill on top notes. Frankly unhappy. We sang Fleming, Guerrero, Mendelssohn and Stanford Te Deum. It was a long stand at the end and I keeled over ending up sitting on the stone floor! Do not know who the organist was not very keen on his registrations. Watched the end of the Crown 4 leaving us on a cliffhanger although we do know what happened next! St Paul's cathedral carols, Blackfriars homily and homily by Archbishop John Wilson. Strictly. Liz coped better. 

Monday Blackfriars, chat to Ann, St John's St Andrew's day Mass with organ. Recorded hymn for the day and sent family video of the garden. Exercises. Henry and family dropped in.
