Happy days

Saturday Dennis set off early for Ireland and Louise brought the boys down for breakfast. We went for a walk round the lake and met the couple for across the road and a guy setting off for Townsville in the autumn! Had cappuccino - it was more overcast and cooler. Ann cooked chicken for lunch - delicious!  Louise took Bruce back with her. Went to look at buying a box for his screen but it was far too big. Practised on piano for tomorrow. To Vespers and Mass and Fr John with the choir of OLEM Cambridge who were very good - not so keen on the descants. They sang My Beloved spake by Andrew Wright and Laloux. Mozart Coronation Mass Gloria. Bruce got box from Glyn Close and brought bedding home. Had a nice evening playing and singing songs from the shows.
Sunday took Ann and Paul to St Michael's and they liked Fr Paul who gave a fine sermon. I played 2 of Dad's pieces and Dubois Toccata - lost one page near the end! Took them to East Croydon so they would be early at Gatwick to go to Ireland. Listened to Stenhammar and Szymanowski from the Prom Liz went to.
