Busy days

A jolly Juan Miro picture which was in the bedroom at the Wurzburg b and b!
The library is busy as it is school holidays and the elderly are renewing their freedom passes which now give free travel on local buses throughout England! The heating is back on as we have a new boiler. To Catenian circle AGM and meeting and Kevin Ingram is our new President for the year with the 1000th meeting next February. Col;in brought me home - he was at Tony Blair's lecture and his daughter was involved in the Olympic flame's progress across London which was disrupted by anti-China demos about Tibet. he had said the demonstrators were violent but it looked to me from the TV that the Chinese guards were equally bad.It is also the centenary year and we are going to the annual conference in Manchester in May. Watched Sacred music parts 1 and 2 presented by Simon Russell Beale - one of the altos in The Sixteen sings in Westminster Cathedral choir. Interesting to see the history of polyphony and where Palestrina came from - the Sistine chapel choir as bad as ever! Also watched celebrity University challenge won by the Lute society and Michael Aspel's farewell to Antiques Roadshow after 8 years. I once worked with his niece and she was pretty eccentric.
