Fodens

Tuesday finished at 2 p.m. Liz at Good shepherd Mass and hospital and then to Bedford Park for Rossini rehearsal. She made a delicious cake and Alan and Berna Foden arrived from Cambridge around 4.30. We sat in the garden and enjoyed Earl Grey tea and cake. Alan was in my schoolclass and has just retired. Berna is Catholic and we had such an interesting chat. She takes her housekeeper's daughter to the same school that her children went to. But the mothers will not take their children to the school where their servants children go because of sport and nothing to talk about! They went off to for a meal on the way back and I went to the hospital. Grandma making slow progress. Wednesday to Croydon to NHS centre and coffee afterwards. To Interfaith group meeting with Rabbi Mark on "Christ through Jewish eyes". Very interesting - 2 of the newcomers were out of order and had to be told politely not to try and convert the rabbi. Jon Dal Din very supportive and the rabbi was very patient with them. 19 came which is excellent including 3 nuns from Pinner. Home for quick lunch and then to see Vickie - all is well. Back to Reeves corner to see new sofa and chairs - very nice. To hospital and Grandma moving right arm and leg and eating from a spoon. To cathedral for Martin Baker's excellent recital which was well attended. He played Bach, Liszt, Tournemire, Dupre and Vierne. Watched Young apprentice.
