Thursday

 Slept Ok woke at 3 and 5. Long chat to Ann. Louise and Dennis came and we had a good discussion. I told him he must tell us what the doctors say and not to badger us with too much information. I know he's worried. Rang Liz. He went at 1.30. I enjoyed the Churches Trust talk on Christmas traditions which are not that old - a load of baubles! Louise went at 3 and took stuff to the ward. The messages have been so kind and so many of them. People praying all over the world and of different faiths too. Fr Timothy Radcliffe at Blackfriars excellent sermon about Catholic witness to the world. Liz saw the RC chaplain. Lovely message from Fr Andrew. Fr Timothy Alive in God from St Paul's. Christmas letters sent and Christmas decorations finished apart from the crib. Took notes to the neighbours about Liz. 

Friday woke 3 and 6.45. Blackfriars live, St Martin's. Contacted Dimbleby centre at Guys and lovely nurse rang and sent useful information on internet Macmillan's and WMUK. RSCM talk on Victorian composers. John Henderson. Recorded Advent hymn and My dearest dear for Liz. Lovely email from Marilyn. Werther from Italy but turned it off - tenor sounded in pain!
