Icons

Had a nice chat to the family and we saw Evie! Owen was very quiet. Applauded at our door for the NHS. Watching Angelus, Midday prayer and Mass from Dominican sisters of St Joseph, Lymington. The psalm at Mass was beautifully sung unaccompanied. Alas the homily was hard to hear and soon after that the sound went altogether. Just wondering if the internet is getting overloaded? Session 1 of Ian Knowles icon painting course worked perfectly on my phone but session 2 could not hear anything on Zoom. My laptop does not want Zoom to have audio! I will have to use Liz's tablet. Waiting for Ian to send link to session 2. Got session 2 on YouTube but am now behind. Remaining sessions were interesting. Sat morning all about gilding which h I will not be doing. Very moving to see the Pope alone in St Peter's Square a powerful address and benediction simple and memorable. Tony Robinson on trains in Europe and Pilgrimage part 1 on peace road to Istanbul. Fr Paolo Bagini at South Ruislip. Made 2 grow trugs. Completed grow trug no. 2. You would think that having done my painful apprenticeship on no 1 last night no. 2 would be plain sailing. Not a bit of it because the Lancashire manufacturer did not label poles B1. I have told the gardener in chief that I am not unassembling them every winter. They can go in the shed and I will not be applying for the MCTC course. That's the Mastering Grow Trug construction course already available online from the lock down university for incapable? husbands. Lovely meditation from Guildford cathedral staff with music. Sky Giles played piano well - Clair de lune, a GCSE composition with a touch of Onedin line! 
Mass from Caterham and Upper Norwood dining rooms, Walsingham Rededication - why separated brethren has to be dragged up again? Singing of Jerusalem and For Mary mother of our Lord was poor. 4 on sanctuary. Enjoyed Antiques roadshow, Belgravia, Race across the world in South America.
