Back to routine

At Coulsdon found pedals were now working again and Vickie was back from sabbatical. I could not find Dad's march so played "Lullaby for Claire" instead and Karg-Elert Nun danket to mark our wedding anniversary. Unpacked. Listened to Poulenc's Figure Humaine with the score from the BBC chorus prom and Mozart Piano concerto 17 with score, Parry's fine Elegy for Brahms and Brahms Symphony No.4 conducted by Andrew Davis. I had planned to go to the proms but too much to do at home. Monday back to work and lots of emails plus a new children's librarian and replacement for maternity leave cover so that's good. I went to St Edmund's Beckenham to play for the 1 p.m. wedding and the 4 friends sang beautifully and all went well. Fr Ashley Beck celebrated. The Prom featured Harold in Italy by Berlioz.
Tuesday to Age concern active days in Tooting and some useful info about local history groups. The reading group enjoyed Trollope's "The way we live now". While away I had read Natasha Cooper's "Out of the dark" and John Gray's "Straw dogs" and bought "A Thousand splendid suns" at the airport. 2 Tablets to read.
Wednesday to see Dr Ellerman at Croydon NHS and all is well. To dentist and wanted me to have a white filling but said NHS cost of £198 quite enough! To British school of osteophathy and Imogen was excellent and sorted out my hamstring in right leg. To see CiarĂ¡n who is crawling and standing confidently! Did not go to prom or chorus but listened to concert on way home. Tchaikovsky violin concerto and Sibelius 5 both with score. Evensong was from 3 choirs and quite splendid.
