Mahler 8

Another busy and warm day inculding setting up the book sale in the hal with Alix, Laura, Yan and Meera. Decided to keep books in boxes. Fiona rang in sick and I offered to work tomorrow but she rang in the evening at home to say she is better. Watched first night of the proms - Mahler 8. Why were we not invited for this? Crouch End festival chorus and Sydney philharmonic choir instead. I thought the tenors were weak. The choristers of St Paul's, the Abbey and the cathedral were a highlight and excellent soloists especially the men and sopranos. Followed with Liz's score. Flo rang. Liz at party to farewell Phil at St Helen's.
