Winter's Tale

Swam, Mass, art and good work on the Holocaust painting (the cakes were much enjoyed). Programme for public speaking heat drafted. Catching up on TV programmes on Cheltenham, Winchester, Norwich, Liverpool cathedral. To East Dulwich playhouse to see The Winter's Tale live from the Globe which was excellent especially Will Keen and the women!

Winter's Tale

Slept in as woke in the night. Grouted mosaic. To Clapham Picturehouse to see The Winter's Tale from the Garrick with Judy Dench and Kenneth Branagh - excellent acting and staging. The final scene had echoes of the Virgin Mary and was most moving and beautiful. Umberto said they went to the theatre and paid £60 and couldn't see properly in the stalls! Decorated the tree. To Catenians 6 of us and 8 visitors. Interesting chat to John Miller from Swanley.

Saturday

A fun day with the boys - track and games. Lou and Tom stayed later so that they slept on the way home. I went to Vespers and Mass. Liz would not go as we thought it was to be the start of the confirmation programme but no sign or mention of them. Fr Andrew had to get me to get his homily from his chair! Appeal for the Passage and Trinity Oxford sang Hassler, Durufle and Byrd a little hesitantly but it was good. Reception so met Ben Morrell and chatted to Ben Bloor about the Whitlock Paean. Canon Christopher let me out! On the way to the car at Selhurst I remembered I was supposed to have gone to the Sunni event at Tooting leisure centre - I was far too tired! Saw the end of the Winter's Tale.

Conversations

Both went swimming and I did 21. To Sainsburys and Liz went to Croydon. To art and they liked the Indian sweets and I started on the London skyline sunset picture. Watched a webinar with Peter Hain MP and he said a lot of sensible things about the future of our democracy. To Brixton for conversations and 6 came - it went well and dates booked up to May. Shereen will approach local mosques. Watched ballet from Royal Opera House.
