The organist librarian

A really good meeting at Farm Street about the exhibition. Tredici sang very well at St Giles in the Fields. Nelson Ferreira took me to British Museum Troy (poorly curated) and the Orient which was lovely. Some beautiful paintings by unknowns and a superb Roman fresco. Latte and delicious sfogliatelle in Russell Square. Feeling very happy I really enjoy our chats. Really enjoyed choir with Richard and extra singers joined us for the carol services.

Tuesday All Saints day we drove to Eastbourne for Ron's funeral. Great to see old friends again - we seldom see them. Richard thomas conducted Cast thy burden and Bgoroditse and all went well. The reception at the hotel was nice and lovely to see Ron's photos, Beethoven 9 score and album. Barbara has many more and she needs help identifying when the photos were taken. Lovely ones with Prince Charles. We went on A22 and came back on the M23. Tea and then set off for painting. I was late as train cancelled and first train to Richmond full. Had trouble mixing colours. Watched first Gareth Malone programme searching for best choir in Britain. Wednesday took Sean to Kew to see The Hive and had lunch. Had torubel getting him out of the playground and he wanted a toy but I said No. Picked up Ciaran and Liz went to the parents information meeting. 90 minutes to get home. Phoned Jill which was helpful. 

After Mass to St James Piccadilly for Tredici 10th anniversary concert. Sat with Jill from Conversations for the soul! Unfortunately the 2 soprano soloists were the ones using the hard shrill tone which spoilt the overall sound. John was in the tenors. Mike the bass spoke to me at interval.
